Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential video:
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 Keogh

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Blu-ray movie review
Having already had Hunt for Red October on tape and DVD, it was totally necessary to get this Blu-Ray DVD!!! (Also have all of Clancy's books in hardcover, and would pay a King's Ransom for ALL of his movies to be FAITHFULLY made into block-buster movies and put onto Blu-Ray!) We loved the increased definition--but mostly the SOUND! So good was the sound, that we got a soundtrack CD--also from Amazon! This story follows Clancy's actual writing more closely than the other films based on his novels. (Particularly "bad" is the latest, Sum of all Fears! Absolutely PC-ized version of a story!) Very interesting, and a great film that the entire family can view, but, with three scenes of "dispatching a character via firearm," maybe the very youngest should be shielded from watching. Absolutely NO "gender interaction," so no explanation of "birds and bees" is necessary, and finally, ALL the roles are played by superb ... Read More


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - cold war fantasy
Some punk junkie named Sick Boy in the the Danny Boyle cult classic TRAINSPOTTING 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 ... Read More

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Horrible Picture Quality
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.
