Rating:  - Two great actors = great movie!
Loved this movie. Bought it for my 18 year old, who was too young to see it as a new release. He loved it! Nicholas Cage and Sean Connery are two fantastic actors whose appeal never ages!
Rating: - One of my favorites!
This action-packed movie has it all: explosions, gun-fights, effects, and some humor. I recommend this to anyone. Not a kid movie.
Rating: - Adventure
An excellent movie of using an older person to solve a problem you have no idea how to handle. But, there must be some reward for their work.
Rating: - Terrific Action Thriller From Start To Jaw-Dropping Conclusion. Sean Connery ROCKS!!! AWESOME CAST!! Great Stunts!!
Academy Award winners Sean Connery (Best Supporting Actor, "The Untouchables"-1987) & Nicholas Cage ("Best Actor, "Leaving Las Vegas"-1995) team up with Academy Award nominee Ed Harris ("Apollo 13"), Michael Biehn ("The Terminator," "The Abyss," Navy SEALS") & the powerhouse duo of producers Don Simpson/Jerry Bruckheimer ("Top Gun,"
"Crimson Tide") and director Michael Bay ("Bad Boys") for this action-packed adventure thriller about the reopening of Alcatraz by a grieved Vietnam & Desert Storm General (Ed Harris, in a knockout performance) and the men (Sean Connery & Nicholas Cage, once again delivering their usual excellent performances) with the skills to take him down. Biehn, as usual, is excellent. With their recent films "Con Air," "Armageddon" & the epic World War II romance "Pearl Harbor," Bruckheimer (Don Simpson died of a drug overdose while this film was still in production) and Bay have simply mastered the art of filmmaking. Bruckheimer is excellent working solo ("Remember The Titans," "Glory Road" & the action-packed
"Pirates Of The Caribbean" films-all for Walt Disney Pictures). This film is rated PG-13 for strong violence and language.
Rating: - The Rock starring Sean Connery and Nicolas Cage
Fast action and non stop drama takes a viewer inside the haunting hauls of an old Prison and a former life spent there. Sean Connery plays a man who the Government wanted to forget...in this fictional setting he is deemed as the only man to have escaped from Alcatraz. Now a group of angry serviceman, distraught over the treatment of men left behind on special ops missions, has hatched a plan to launch biological weapons from the newly acquired prison and attack the Bay area. Ed Harris plays the leader of this rogue group and the only thing the U.S. government can do to stop it is to get back into the prison...somehow, someway and with a lot of help from the top bio-chemist named Stanley Goodspeed, who is played by Nicolas Cage.
Exciting military style thriller with lots of action and many heart stopping moments, The Rock is great and should perhaps be deemed a classic when compared to other action movies of this kind. It never seems unrealistic and With Connery, Harris and Cage it has a great cast.
