Solid action thriller

Rating: 7/10 (11 July 2018)

The Rock maybe seen as an earlier film by director Michael Bay. It appears that Bay had always had his way with action type films. While The Rock proved that Sean Connery could still cut the mustard as an OAP action star, it was the making of Cage as action hero, his wild and wired approach gelling perfectly with Connery ís gruff demeanor. Overall this film does fulfill for action fans, although it does feel quite long in run time and seems to drag. Nonetheless, one of Michael Bay's best films of the 1990's.
