The Rock is a fast-paced powerhouse of an actionthriller!!

Rating: Null/10 (17 April 2000)

The Rock is a perfect actionthriller. It has three brilliant actors: Sean Connery, Nicolas Cage and Ed Harris. Some war-veterans under the command of general Hummel(Harris) steal some rockets containing VX-gas. One of these rockets are able to kill 70000 people, and the soldiers occupy Alcatraz alias "The Rock", and they take 60 tourists hostage. The terrorist want to launch their rockets if their demands aren`t met.
Mason(Connery) is a prisoner, who has vital knowledge about Alcatraz, and how to get in there, because he is the only man who has been able to escape from the Rock. Goodspeed(Cage) is an FBI-agent, who is really good with chemestry, and it is his mission to disarm the rockets.
However, the team which is sent in to take out the veterans is soon wiped out in a bloody shoot-out with the veterans. Only Mason and Goodspeed survived this slaughter. The Rock has interesting characters, and spectacular actionscenes. The extra ice in the cake is the magical soundtrack composed by Hans Zimmer, which creates a perfect atmosphere. Buy or rent it now!! 10/10
