It's a well known fact that Nicolas Cage ruins every film he touches. It still amazes me to this day that the buffoon has an Oscar at home on his mantle. This film is no exception. Despite being a classic hostage-terrorist threat caper, Cage fails to even prove his worth on the comic cliche scales.

The supporting cast is astounding, with heroes such as Ed Harris, David Morse, John M... read more

Michael Bay throws a decent movie our way

Making a good action scene isn't really all that hard. You just need some action to it, and voila. You have a good action scene. Then you just slap some cliched score ontop and edit it nicely. But let's take a look at what action scenes are about; They're about people being involved in action. Be it a car chase, a shootout or even a fistfight, it always involves primary or secondary characters duk... read more

The Rock is complete bad-ass. If this sentence reminded you of the wrestler, don't bother reading this review. Michael Bay has become synonymous with big-budgeted flicks with little to no soul to them nowadays. The Rock is as arthouse a film as one can get. This film is still to this day his most celebrated film, and his most critically acclaimed, and that's ironic seeing he is less known for his ... read more

BradWesley123's Movie Journal- June 2009 (31 movies items)

" First Viewing A fun, well-plotted summer actioner featuring a badass performance by Sean Connery, and a typically bat-shit Nicolas Cage (Just see the above picture)."

SML96's Movie Diary - May 2013 (8 movies items)

" The movie has all the ingredients to become a good action movie, and it doesn't disappoint. It's exciting and badass. The storyline is very thrilling and the leading actors are giving good performances. Some of the dialogues are pretty dull, but it doesn't bother me too much. I must also mention the brilliant music of Hans Zimmer. His music brings chills and manages to capture the thrills in the movie. "

" Check out my review: http://www.listal.com/viewentry/4295043 This film is nothing more or less than a standard, generic action film. All the signatures of one are present here, some being thinly characterized, others starkly presented. It has mindless destruction, some off-dialogue, and some moments of insanity, but despite this, The Rock is actually one of the more plausible action films I've seen with a damn engaging storyline and powerhouse performances by the lead trio.

A Complete review of Michael Bay’s work (9 movies items)

" Cast : Sean Connery, Nicolas Cage, Ed Harris, David Morse, William Forsythe, Michael Biehn What was it about? A renegade general and his group of U.S. Marines take over Alcatraz and threaten San Francisco Bay with biological weapons. A chemical weapons specialist and the only man to have ever escaped from the Rock attempt to prevent chaos. My two cents: To this day, it is still the most popular movie directed by Michael Bay. I mean, the transformers flicks have been highly successful fina"
