Comment you can trust!!

Rating: Null/10 (20 May 2000)

This film was made when Don Simpson sadly died, so you can guess that he will want it to be special......and it IS!!! this is quite possibly the best action film i have ever seen! (and i'm not just saying that because Nicolas Cage is my favourite actor). It has everything, fast cars, cool action music, evil bad guys, hi-tech weaponery, dark locations and a plot that will just blow you away!
General Francis X Hummel (Ed Harris) is a pro. He is evil but he's a pro. He is also sick of the lies that he has lived on his entire career. Now Hummel has a plan to make the lies stop - he is going to take over Alcatraz Island and threaten to send a bunch of missiles armed with VX poison gas on to San Fransisco and wipe out the whole city. while he is doing this he has also taken 81 hostages in the process.
Now...here comes the catch, the FBI believe that nobody has ever escaped the island...that is except the Director of FBI Womack (John Spencer) he knows exactly who has escaped...that person is John Mason (Sean Connery) of Her Majesty's Secret Service. Womack can't believe that the only hope they have is a 60 yr old convict. But he has no choice but to let Mason out.
Mason is teamed up with Dr. Stan Goodspeed (Nicolas Cage "My favourite actor YEY") a chemical specialist for the FBI. together Mason and Goodspeed team up with a couple of NAVY SEALS (headed by Micheal Biehn) to stop Hummel and his band of merceneries.
I would have to give this film 10/10. Superb. (And Jerry i think you've made Don happy).
