Connery invades San Francisco

Rating: 9/10 (11 July 2001)

Contains spoilers
If you take Michael Bay, Sean Connery and Hans Zimmer, and mix them together in a big bowl, with a little touch of Alcatraz, what do you get? You guessed right: A slam-bang of an action-thriller. In other words: "The Rock".
What makes "The Rock" a good movie. Of course, you have Sean Connery. But what would have made this movie great without Connery. I think a very important element is the music. Hans Zimmer`s music is so engaging and so full of feelings that it had to leave traces in your mind after seeing this movie. Another important element is the great characters. Almost every character builds up a strong personality during the film, and you feel with them, either they are good or evil. At the end I actually felt more sorry for Ed Harris than I did for Nicholas Cage.
Sean Connery is dangerously good at his work, a good example is when he smash half of the city with a stolen car, with Nicholas Cage chasing him.
My opinion is that this is one of the best action movies I have seen, so if you haven`t seen this one, you know what movie to watch next... and what music to listen at.
