Awesome Action And Suspense With A Great Story

Rating: 9/10 (19 December 2009)

Needless to say, this is not the most realistic film out there, but that does not matter with a movie like this. This movie was made because it is a very entertaining story with a lot of edge-of-your-seat suspense and has the interesting pairing of Cage and Connery.
Connery is very cool in his role as an ex-criminal and inmate of the notorious prison known as "The Rock". He somehow escaped and now must help the US Marines reverse escape in.
Cage and Connery sneak and fight their way through the compound and manage to destroy the guidance systems in the missiles, making them useless.
I think Cage and Connery did a very nice job with their characters. This is not the type of movie where they would get any sort of Oscar nod for it, but I think they did really well.
The scene in the end where Cage is just barely able to give the sign to the pilots that he is okay is a very memorable one. It really gets you on the edge of your seat and almost makes you want to stand up and cheer.
"The Rock" is an awesome action flick with a very solid story.
