REVIEW The Rock was movie script that had been kicking around Hollywood for a number of years before ...
...movie before his death in the same year. It's has all the elements of a standard Michael Bay movie it's loud, it's crammed with lots of filter shots and has editing so fast it could outpace a leopard. It also has other elements of his style the use of improvising actors with the example being Nic Cage use of music references and the coolest meet cute scene of the two main actors. This scene is called the coffee scene in my house and is the funniest ...

A group of renegade marines seize missiles loaded with nerve gas, and choose Alcatraz Island with 81 tourists as their domain. Threatening to launch the gas its up to a ex-con who hasn't seen action for 30 years and a chemical weapons expert who's never left the lab to save the day. This film is action packed with: - Car chases - Gun fights ...
...It also has some of the best actors around including: - Sean Connery - Ed Harris - Nicholas Cage. This a hard-core action movie. One of the best I've ever watched.

It's best advantages include its well directed storyline, time-less (by watching it you wouldn't realise that its 10 years ...
