Film Review: The hunt for Red October

See the source image

Release date: March 2nd 1990.

Story: A Soviet submarine captain (played by Sean Connery) leaves Russia on his state of the art submarine (named the Red October) and sails towards the USA with his crew. When the Americans get wind of this, they begin to question the captain's methods. Is he deflecting to the United States or is he about to fire nuclear missiles at them and start a world war? One guy (played by Alec Baldwin) believes that he is deflecting while others believe the latter. Can Alec Baldwin's character managed to convince his co workers and the US government while the Red October tries to avoid being destroyed by other Soviet submarines? Watch the movie and find out.

My thoughts: A good movie. The character's are ok and the action is also ok. I would liked to have a bit more suspense but what we got is ok.

My score: Three stars.
