Audience Reviews for The Hunt for Red October
-
Probably the best Clancy film adaptation. Silly entertainment involving overly complex fake technology that sounds vaguely plausible, but without the frustratingly dense plot of Clancy's novels. Most of this success is likely due to McTiernan, who was often firing on all cylinders at this time.
-
Compelling, with a taut and gripping premise. It exudes a quiet importance, and in some moments, even hints of an underlying humanness and nobility.
-
A thrilling action movie, adequately cast.

The Hunt for Red October is a compelling and exciting Cold War thriller. Based on a Tom Clancy novel, a new Soviet submarine goes rogue on its maiden voyage, taking the Soviet Union and U.S. to the brink of war; however CIA analyst Jack Ryan suspects that the sub's captain is attempting to defect. The film features an all-star cast that includes Sean Connery, Alec Baldwin, Scott Glenn, Sam Neill, and James Earl Jones. Additionally, director John McTiernan does an excellent job at creating an intense and suspenseful tone throughout the film. And this tone is enhanced through Basil Poledouris's sweeping and powerful score. Exceptionally well-crafted, The Hunt for Red October is a captivating film that's steeped in mystery.
