Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: cold war fantasy Comment: Some punk junkie named Sick Boy in the the Danny Boyle cult classic TRAINSPOTING espouses a "theory" of his in which he uses the career of Sean Connery to illustrate. Basically he believes that for everybody in life at one point you got it, then you don't. There's a period in your life, probably when you were younger, when you could have had *it* but then you loose *it* and are past your prime. Well, the other character listening to this was right to feel unimpressed by this cocky punk's disrespectful and plainly dumb understanding of human accomplishment. Sean Connery was the original and coolest James Bond but it was not all downhill from those glory days. Connery's performance THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER disproves Sick Boy's theory (along with a few others in his career btw). Alec Baldwin is also good, his take on CIA agent Jack Ryan much more compelling than Harrison Ford's or Ben Affleck's. Ford looks old. Affleck looks like Affleck. There are a few famous faces that grace the screen in this one: Darth Vader's voice, a Senator and 2008 presidential candidate. The ocean and ships sort of steal the show in these things though when you think about it. The ocean looks great on the silver screen, or your TV for that matter. The story is the fantastical stuff of nerdy military loving rightwing cold war warriors sweaty dreams. I think Tom Clancy books are a dime a dozen but they got at least one decent escapist flick out of 'em. This is the most cinematic and well made Jack Ryan film. Customer Rating: Summary: THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER Comment: EXCELLENT MOVIE A MUST FOR SEAN CONNERY FANS....I RECEIVED THE DVD PROMPTLY AND WILL CERTAINLY PURCHASE AGAIN...THIS IS A MOVIE I HAD SEEN MANY TIMES AND HAD BEEN SEARCHING FOR IT FOR A LONG TIME. Customer Rating: Summary: Horrible Picture Quality Comment: The Hunt for Red October (Special Collector's Edition) Paramount should be ashamed of themselves. The picture quality is atrocious. DO NOT BUY THIS MOVIE IN DVD FORMAT! Hopefully they haven't screwed up the Blue Ray edition. Unfortunately, I gave my old Laser disk player and movies away months ago. I have been replacing my favorites with DVDs and Red October was my latest purchase. I will probably throw it in the trash. I am, Peter Harrison..... A disgruntled customer and pissed at Paramount for allowing this to happen. Customer Rating: Summary: Worst HD transfer I've seen so far! Comment: Of course its a classic film. Worst transfer to a "high-definition" format that I've seen so far. Just by the DVD, you won't miss the extra static contained in the higher definition version here. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Movie........... Comment: One of my favorite movies, Sean Connery is excellent as the russian commander and Alec Baldwin does Jack Ryan better than Harrison Ford(Patriot Games). loads of stars in this flick, great story and all the action sequences are filmed to a tee. Highly Recommended for action movie enthuisiats....

Highly Recommended for action movie enthuisiats.... Based on Tom Clancy's bestseller, directed by John McTiernan (Die Hard) and starring Sean Connery and Alec Baldwin, THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER sweats with high-tech anxiety and the tension of men who hold Doomsday in their hands. A new technologically-superior Soviet nuclear sub, the Red October, is heading for the U.S. coast under the command of Captain Marko Ramius (Connery). The American government thinks Ramius is planning to attack. A lone CIA analyst (Baldwin) has a different idea: he thinks Ramius is planning to defect, but he has only a few hours to find him and prove it - because the entire Russian naval and air commands are trying to find him, too. The hunt is on!
