The BEST action/drama movie I have ever seen. **** 4stars!

Rating: Null/10 (12 February 2002)

Besides Black Hawk Down, The Rock and Armageddon are my favorite Bruckheimer movies. The reason is because of Micheal Bay. The guy is brilliant with that camera, and he let's his actor's make you care about them by getting the most out of them. Unlike most action movies, where they tend to focus on explosions and the extra ammo, This movie had me caught up in all the drama as well. Nothing compares to the Rock because it has a lot of everything in it, Romance, Humor, Action, A Car chase scene, a top notch script, and the best soundtrack I ever experienced since Rocky!! Phenomenal acting by Connery, (He should still be agent 007!!) at his age proves he can still be an action star. Nicholas Cage was good as well playing an FBI bio-chemist who was sort of a wimp but proved otherwise. I actually cared about the characters and the story was awesome. I heard this movie was underrated, It's too bad, people really don't know what they are missing in The Rock. Easily my favorite action/drama of all time. It's not considered a war movie, even though it involves conflicts between our Government and ex US Marines. But this flick qualifies as a masterpiece, and whoever disagrees needs to go have their heads examined.
