I loved this action packed movie.

Rating: 9/10 (27 July 1999)

In my opinion, this was Nicholas Cages' and Michael Bays' last good movie. But it is an excellent movie. Action packed from beginning to end, this movie delivers a believable story and a likable cast.
Ed Harris plays the "villain", yet he is as likable as any of the "good" guys. He is a an army officer who is dissolusioned with the military because of the way it has treated soldiers under his command. The only real "bad guys" in this movie are the governmental bureaucrats who have essentially, lied to all of the principle characters in some way or another and a few soldiers who are essentially, mercenaries.
Nicholas Cage and Sean Connery are excellent as the team who is chosen to go to "the rock" and disable the nuclear weapons the the renegade soldiers have pointed at San Fransisco.
All in all, this movie is as exciting as films get.
