Cage's best action flick

Rating: 10/10 (24 December 2005)

This one you can watch many times. Connery is great as the old man whose smarter than the young man and Cage supplies the comic relief as the buddy. Ed Harris gives a great performance as the not quite but almost evil general who seizes Alcatraz Island for ransom to receive compensation for deaths of his fellow Marines in black ops missions around the world. There is a crap load of action. This cemented Cage as the actor in demand and lead to several other action movies for him. And Connery never looked better in his old age. This was one you had to see at the theaters if you didn't you missed the boat. I need to get this on DVD and I will when I find the time to do so.
