 Slant Magazine - DVD Review: The Hunt for Red October
The renowned naval veteran Ramius (who, in a strange twist, has a decidedly Scottish accent) has been given the keys to the Red October, the USSR's top-secret underwater vessel that can travel undetected by sonar and is equipped with a daunting bounty of nuclear warheads.
