Hey, this is my review! at the end of the day, its your opinion that really counts.
The Rock, one of my favourite action movies of all time.
When I first sat down to watch this movie at the age of 12, I was satisfied with what I was seeing. After the movie ended, I place the DVD back in the box and completely forgot about it. One year later, I would re-watch it and completely fall in love with it.
The Rock tells the story of a retired army general who steals a lot of deadly weapons and then sets up his own mini military base in Alcatraz (AKA. The Rock) The Government is soon aware of this and sends in a full SEALS team, along with an FBI chemist (Cage) and an ex-convict of Alcatraz who happened to work in the British Intelligence (Connery) Chessy, Check. Over the top, Check. Awesome, double check.
This movie will leave you at the edge of your seat. Not only does it have some of the best Hollywood action scenes of all time, it also has one of the GREATEST action actors in the history of cinema: Michael Biehn. Yes, you heard right. I think he is the main reason why I praise this movie so much. Not only does he deliver a brilliant (as always) performance but he also says some of the best b-movie lines of all time.
Besides Biehn, this movie is pure greatness. If you by are a person who enjoys nice action flicks, then you will find The Rock amazing. However, if you happen to be one of those picky "I want realistic stuff" person, then stay far far far away from this movie. You have been warned
Great Hollywood Action movie.
