Editorial Review:
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
The Hunt for Red October Reviews:
Great Flick 
2009-12-31 - I've seen this movie ten tiems and it gets better each time. They don't make 'em like Sean Connery anymore!
Hunt for Red October DVD
2009-12-13 - This is a classic movie. We 'wore' out the VHS tape after years of viewing and have been looking for a really good price/value to replace it. The quality is great and we look forward to many years of viewing.
Why I hate this movie... 
2009-12-10 - Great script, great cinematography....its just that with all the available actors and time I just dont see why everyone had a differed accent. I just wished they would have studied a Russian accent and kept it throughout or just hire Russians actors. The story was a good one ruined by poor acting and a multitude of accents.
Best Jack Ryan movie!!!
2009-11-28 - I believe this is the best Tom Clancy movie, hands down, Blu ray is even better!!!
Hunt for Red October
2009-11-24 - What a fantastic action movie. The HD transfer is quite good, giving extra definition to the interiors of the submarines. About the only thing that dates the movie is the old cars used at the start of the movie. The bonus feature was a great watch also. Definitely worth the update from DVD to BluRay!
