Interesteg What makes it different from others?

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

OllieSuave-007 Sean Connery stars as Soviet Union submarine captain Marko Ramius in this action film, a story about Ramius captaining his country's newest sub but violating Russian orders, heading for the United States instead. As a result, U.S. officials attempt to track down the sub and discover the captain's true intentions.Though this is an action film, much of the movie's entertainment and intrigue stem from the built-up tension, character development, and suspense - from Alec Baldwin's Jack Ryan character trying to help the U.S. sub communicate with Captain Ramius to the subject of defection and warfare. The film has an all-star cast including Connery, Baldwin, James Earl Jones, Sam Neill, Scott Glen, Tim Curry, Stellan Skarsgård, and Fred Thompson. Their spot-on acting demonstrated a good mixture of drama and humor.The plot is well-paced and keeps you entertained from start to finish. It's a good movie that captures the tensions of the Cold War during its time. Grade A

blumdeluxe "The Hunt for Red October" deals with a Soviet submarine captain, who wants to change sides and thus leads his crew towards the American coastline. Back in the USA, officials don't know what to make of this Russian war machine, moving fast towards American soil. They have to decide whether this is the beginning of an epic attack or a cry for help from a new-found friend.In many aspects this is a classic and well-produced agent-thriller, evolving around the Cold War. The tension is high, the film in some ways unpredictable and the actors deliver tremendous perdormances. The switch between subtitled Russian and English can be a bit confusing, especially since it occurs only occassionally and not throughout the whole movie, some films have dealt with this instrument more consequently. But otherwise I think this is a very solid film, that doesn't raise epic questions but is produced very well.All in all you can't do much wrong with giving this film a try, even if some details may be a bit implausible (the Russian officials were a bit easy to convince to switch sides for example). Nontheless is remains with an interesting cast, a feeling for tension and moods.

Matt Greene This is a totally serviceable 90s war drama that I can't imagine ever rushing to revisit. Baldwin is a great Jack Ryan, playing a much more down-to-earth, charismatic hero than Ford's portrayal. McTiernan brings his solid, underrated direction, even if the story's pacing and tone never quite reaches Die Hard heights.

moiolentoukoharjola Overall entertaining and interesting!But as someone who knows a bit of Russian, it is immediately clear that Connery didn't spend even an hour studying the language for this movie and is just repeating what he was told to say. It's a shame, if he had even tried with pronunciation, the movie would have been that much better. Because now his Russian sounded more like grunts and gibberish than communication
