Many reasons not to see this one and only one to see it.

Rating: 2/10 (26 November 2006)

The Rock is one of the worst and most annoying action movies I have ever seen. The characters are completely flat. Sean Connery clearly was not really interested in the project. Still, relying on his routine he easily outplays Nicholas Cage. If you like hyper nervous action movies, duologue's restricted to shouting "Move, move, move!", don't bother about characters and wants your senses get overloaded, then this movie is for you. If you are not, then only one remarkable scene remains. Halfway the movie Sean Connery escapes to meet his daughter. Then it immediately becomes clear, that Connery is a good actor. Alas it only lasts five minutes. Because of him I reward a 2, otherwise it would have been a well-deserved 1.
