Robert P @Superbad 1d The Hunt for Red October = a *4.5 star movie* See more AC C @Mon_Alisa Aug 30 This one takes the crown in the sub category. Sean Connery commands the screen (and the vessel) and he and Alec Baldwin do Tom Clancy’s already compelling novel justice. The rest of the cast is excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed the underwater chasing. I hadn’t read the book or known the storyline beforehand so this was a VERY fun watch.

Fast paced, top notch acting, grand and cinematic. Jan DeBonts camera work is second to none. Classic absolutely must see. (Pay no attention to the accents, or lack thereof) See more Farah R @Farah Jul 28 This well-acted spy thriller is suspenseful but very boring. The narrative is hard to follow and, as the scenes became repetitive, my mind kept wandering. I see why it’s widely considered a classic, but the slow tension and heavy technical dialogue requires lots of patience. See more Romas M @Romas Jul 27 Greetings from Lithuania. "The Hunt for Red October" (1990) is an excellent submarine movie. It is a Jack Ryan movie but for me this installment was never about him - it is a submarine movie trough and trough, and one of the best one. The cast was exceptional bunch of starts and great character actors: Sean Connery (in one of his best roles), Alec Baldwin, Scott Glenn, Sam Neill, Stellan Skarsgård - this is a brilliantly staged, acted and directed movie. Editing was top notch. Sound design was and still is incredible, you really get the sense being in a submarine (of course watching movie on good home theater sound system). It is superbly paced movie - at running time 2 h 15 min it never draggs and is involving from start till finish. Writing was great, smart and believable. Overall, "The Hunt for Red October" is one one of the 3 - 4 films that John McTiernan has ever directed. This is a tense, smart, involving and amazingly crafter thriller that keep one engaged. Great movie. See more Read all reviews
