"The Rock - Have you ever tried breaking in?!?!?"
5 stars"

The Rock Based on Alcatraz " The Rock", a military group take over this now tourist attraction with VX Gas rockets and 81 Hostages. In an attempt to stop them from releasing the rockets an unlikely two characters pair up (played by Nicolas Cage, and Sean Connery). One an FBI agent that doesn't have a lot of field experience, the other the only prisoner to ever escape from The Rock. This is a must see action packed movie, that has been well casted and exceptionally written, including both comedy and action, to draw any viewer in, of all ages. Would highly recommend!!

Description

The Rock

The safety of San Francisco hangs in the balance when General Francis X. Hummel (Ed Harris) and his renegade squad of US Marines take over the abandoned Alcatraz prison and threaten to launch a poison gas attack on the city if their demands are not met.

The FBI's response is to call in Stanley Goodspeed (Nicolas Cage), a nerdy weapons expert, and John Patrick Mason (Sean Connery), a former SAS man who has been in prison for the last 30 years, and send them together into the prison complex.

Can this unlikely pairing prevent mass murder? The free world holds its breath.

Critic Reviews:

  • " Connery and Harris are decent in just about anything, shaping their roles into something more memorable and quirky than basic heroes and villains. " – Mike Massie
  • " The movie's best asset is the old-fashioned, buddy-movie interplay between Cage and Connery – Cage as the frantic, white-collar lab technician who doesn't like guns, Connery as the weathered, resourceful old pro. " – Gary Thompson
  • " An explosive, violent, mile-a-minute actioner. " – Alex Orner
