Movie Reviews of The Hunt for Red October
Movie Review: The Best Version, Hands Down!
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this movie when it came out on VHS then purchased the DVD. Now comes Blu-ray. The audio experience alone was well worth the cost of upgrading. The sound of the USN Dallas as it passes by your screen is now one of my demo experiences for people.
Summary of The Hunt for Red October
Before Harrison Ford assumed the mantle of playing Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan hero in Patriot Games, Alec Baldwin took a swing at the character in this John McTiernan film and hit one to the fence. If less instantly sympathetic than Ford, Baldwin is in some respects more interesting and nuanced as Ryan, and drawing comparisons between both actors' performances can make for some interesting postmovie discussion. That aside, The Hunt for Red October stands alone as a uniquely exciting adventure with a fantastic costar: Sean Connery as a Russian nuclear submarine captain attempting to defect to the West on his ship. Ryan must figure out his true motives for approaching the U.S. McTiernan (Predator, Die Hard) made an exceptionally handsome movie here with action sequences that really do take one's breath away. --Tom KeoghAction & Adventure DVD Video
