rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author toiletoctopus - I'll admit that I am biased.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Chad9976 - "The Hunt For Red October" is a very technical, almost mathematical story about the modern cold war, and amazingly it is more exciting and suspenseful than most movies of the genre because it never sensationalizes.
