A Suprisingly Humane Action Movie

Rating: 10/10 (3 May 2000)

While "The Rock" is not a flawless film, it is very well made and suprisingly humane. The are a lot of character elements in this movie that makes this movie above average. Director Michael Bay always gives the audience too much to digest at once like in "Armageddon" but here he gives the audience just enough. The car chase through the streets of San Francisco is one of all time best car chases it is amazing. This film also features strong performances from an A-list cast including Sean Connery, Nicolas Cage, and Ed Harris. This film shows it's humane side in the characters actions. The characters realize what they are doing and the feel remorse. The chemistry between Connery and Cage also makes this movie good.
