Review of The Rock (1996) by Jack H — 07 Dec 2012
''I love pressure. I eat it for breakfast.''.
A group of U.S. marines, under command of a renegade general, take over Alcatraz and threat San Francisco Bay with biological weapons. A chemical weapons specialist and the only man to have ever escaped from the Rock are the only ones who can prevent chaos.
Sean Connery: John Patrick Mason.
Nicolas Cage: Dr. Stanley Goodspeed.
Ed Harris: Brigadier General Francis X. Hummel, USMC.
This is a damn good film. Unbreakable cast and directed by the man, Michael Bay!
This is SO SO amazing this movie, it truly is. Any film with Jerry Bruckhiemer and Michael Bay is going to be a smash and this is exactly what The Rock turns out to be.
What a combination, Sean Connery, Nic Cage & Ed Harris. This film will make you laugh despite its seriousness.
The music really sets the whole film on fire as does the classy slick camera work. The plot is crazy but it goes. Action top-notch. Sean Connery had me in stitches and Nic Cage also with his tongue in cheek one liners galore!
The Rock is one of those films you never get tired off no matter how many times you watch it.
