The best action movie in a long time

Rating: 10/10 (18 October 1998)

This is definitely one of the best action movies of all time. True, I am a bit biased because Sean Connery is my favorite actor. I thought Nick Cage played a wonderful innocent little bio-chemist who always works in a little couped up room with his chemistry set. So when he is actually put into a violent confrontation, you truly believe he is terrified. One of the best scenes is when Nick was forced to shoot and kill one of the mercenaries in order to save Mason (Connery) from being killed. The excellent blend of slow motion and music during this scene leaves the viewer excited, yet almost startled at the same time because this is the first time Cage has ever harmed anyone! A sensational piece of filming. Truly worthy of all the praise in the world, and it's funny too!
