Real Heroes-Real Villains

Rating: 8/10 (12 December 2006)

The Rock is a favorite action, adventure and suspenseful film of mine. Some of my favorite players-- Sean Connery, Nicholas Cage, and Ed Harris-- stared in the movie. Hummel (Ed Harris) played an evil villain. Dr. Goodspeed (Nicholas Cage) has knowledge of chemical warfare and so he arrives sent to Alcatraz with some Navy Seals because he works with the C.I.A. The Rock keeps you on the edge of your seat because of chemical missiles threatening the city of San Francisco, California. Nicholas Cage, the scientist, risks his life to rescue the city, while his girlfriend comes to the city when he tells her not to.
One of my favorite scenes is the scene where the Marines wipe out Anderson's (Navy Seals) team. Another scene I enjoyed was the scene with Goodspeed near the beginning, when he is diffusing the chemical bomb. The agent trainee with him didn't know when he squeezed the doll it would send out explosive, poisonous gas. I enjoyed the suspense as I watched the movie again and again.
The most powerful character in this movie is Mason (Sean Connery). He has many secrets and an extensive knowledge of maximum security prisons, since he is the only man who has ever escaped from Alcatraz. For this reason he was chosen to go with the Seals. This movie has characters with action. The cast is strong; the film has just the right comedy mixed with suspense. This film is my favorite action movie. I never grow tired of seeing this movie over and over again.
