Wonderful Action Film!

Rating: 10/10 (4 November 2010)

The Rock is one of the best action films of the 90's. I was surprised that I never heard of it until recently being the movie buff I am and with the big name director, composer, producer, and actors. I think Michael Bay is a pretty good director despite what everyone else says.
This is about a ruthless general who captures the Alcatraz prison and is bent on taking San Francisco hostage unless he's paid the money he wants because he feels the American government did not recognize his fallen soldiers.
The acting is very good here. Sean Connery still has some great action moves in his old age. Nic Cage is a great actor despite what everyone else said. Of course, I loved Ed Harris. He is one of the best.
Unlike most action movies, this movie has great character development. The plot has been seen before but the creators brought the plot to a whole new level. The score by Hans Zimmer is a magnificent piece.
Overall, this is an excellent action movie. I wanna see more of these action films. I rate this film 10/10.
