First Rate Action

Rating: 10/10 (5 May 2009)

The Rock is a film that will be remembered as a classic action flick. Michael Bay may be criticized for his multiple action scenes in films, but who cares they are done well. Along with its talented cast (Sean Connery, Nicolas Cage, Ed Harris), The Rock has a good story and a fast pace, which keeps the audience wanting more. The reason I think Michael Bay is one of the premier directors, is for his vision for action sequences, he hardly uses CGI, unless it's almost unnoticeable or he is doing Sci Fi. The Rock is totally old school and realistic when it comes to the action and you have to appreciate that. All in all this film set the bar high for action films for this generation and future generations.
