" This Man is the one individual who knows all the secrets of the Cold War "

Rating: 9/10 (30 April 2010)

The island known as " The Rock " is the one prison where no inmate has ever managed to escaped from. The fact is, one escape was successful and the vanished prisoners have never been caught. Immitating history, this incredible movie too has escaped the enormous accolades and noteworthy praise it should have received. Not only for the sheer star power is contained, but for the incredible excitement it generated in audiences across the country. The story is of a remarkable and dedicated but now renegade U.S. general (Ed Harris) who has managed to obtain some extremely dangerous and definitely lethal toxin. Together, with the help of a loyal group of U.S. Marines, is holding some civilian hostages on that imprisoned island. The general demands The F.B.I director (John Spencer) and other U.S. authorities to pay $100 million dollars in reparations to the dead soldiers's families who have never been told how they died or even recognized for their ultimate bravery. Unable to admit their country's deception, the authorities instead send in a S.E.A.L team to destroy the general and his men. Accompanying the SEAL Team is a former inmate (Sean Connery) of Alcatraz and a chemical weapons's specialist (Nicolas Cage) to rescue the hostages. The movie is a vivid action packed thrill ride filled with high drama and suspense. The excellent cast and splendid car chase scenes, together with jet fighters and a fiery explosive finale makes for a true Classic. Easily recommended. ****
