THE perfect action movie. Has all the winning elements.

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2009)

Let me get this straight: "The Rock" is visually spectacular and impressive, has a very interesting and powerful plot, excellent acting (Sean Connery IS THE MAN), outstanding sound effects and a memorable score.
This is the perfect action movie, period. The plot centers around terrorism, a wrong idea of patriotism, marines and their politics, bio-chemical terrorism, friendship, and more.
Connery and Cage form an impressive on-screen duo. Ed Harris, John Spencer, William Forshyte, and Tony Tood deliver great supporting roles.
The action is non-stop, breath taking, filled with spectacular action sequences that are extremely well done mainly because of the flawless direction and the right amount of f/x.
The dialogs are really interesting and fit with the action tone of the film. The rest is history; I mean, you can't expect a better action film than this.
The plot is the perfect compliment in most action movies, but this time it plays a huge role while creating a certain atmosphere.
This is a classic action movie that should be considered amongst the top 10 in recent history.
WELCOME TO THE ROCK!
