The Rock (DVD 2002)

Oh My God... What a fantastic film!! It is a brilliant film and you gotta love it. The story is fabulous and the actors: Sean Connery, Nicholas Cage and Ed Harris are phenomonal.

an excellent film with sean connery playing a bad guy for one. after the team is killed he finds him self with bio tech for the fbi who has nothing exciting in his live except his beige volvo. they find them selfs alone with the team dead and a serios millatry mind about to wipe out san fransico with three nuclear war headed missiles. its fast, its firey and funny this is a great film which i have to admit i didnt think i would love so much.

we all known we can watch this on sky,but this was the two dvd collection set with all the extras,great film could watch any time.

if you like a combination of good actors and action with a straight forward story line then this film is for you.

the harmany of classic actor sean connery as a improsened sas soldier for 30 years teaming up with n.cage as a chemical expert and ed harris playing the bad guy feel that he is doing right works splendid .

theres action , suspence and well placed humuor in the right parts .

if were to give this a star rating out of ten then no doubt i would asy a well deserved 10 /10

I have always liked The Rock as I feel it is the best film Michael Bay made until Transformers was released in 2007. It is loud, colourful and fast moving throughout, with good performances from all of the cast, especially the three principal leads (Sean Connery, Nicolas Cage and Ed Harris). So, I was looking forward to purchasing the American Blu Ray version, which incidentally will play on Region A or B Blu Ray players, and I wasn't disappointed! The sound and picture are both terrific, and with a full compliment of extras, this Blu Ray DVD is a must buy.

I always loved this film after seeing it on Channel 5 years ago, i finally decided i couldnt be bothered with waiting for it to be on TV again so ordered it, great purchase! Great Film! and Great Special Features!

This is my first review so i'll keep it simple:

Pro's:

Brilliant Acting

Amazing Action Sequences

Some interesting politics involved around the villain

SEAN CONNERY!!!!

Brilliant action film all round


Con's:

Can't really think of any :-)

This movie is everything an action movie should be, guns, fights, humour, cars and big explosions. It has got to be one of Nick Cages best performances. If you like action movies you will not be disappointed.

The Rock, Starring Nicolas Cage, Ed Harris and Sean Connery, is an action thriller from beginning to end. I love this film as it has everything! It has gun fights, sex, action, an explosive car chase, an enthralling story and great acting from beginning to end. It is a Micheal Bay Film as well meaning it will not be short of action or explosions! If you have not seen this film, it is must to buy as it can be watched over and over again. The music soundtrack is also amazing as the music was made by legend Hans Zimmer. This film is not to be missed and a must to own. This is my favourite ever film. Do not miss out!!!

The DVD I received is perfect, exactly what I wanted and the DVD disk, case and cover are all in 100% great condition. The price was reasonable and so was the P&P charge. The delivery was very fast and secure. A great eBay seller, defiantly recommended by me and I will use again if they have what I want.

Follow the plight of chemical weapons expert-Stanley Goodspeed (cage)on A gritty, tense and explosive thriller. See him transform from a beatles loving scientist to a ferrari crashing, 9mm shooting badboy. Sean connery's character is also fantastic and the perefect foil to cage throughout the film. watch it

Absoloutly amazing film, must see! Sean connery and Nicholas Cage are great filled with action you'd be crazy to miss it!

Alcatraz, once famous for housing American Soldiers as a prison camp is brought back to life by this action movie The Rock.

Tourists are visiting Alcatraz when a group of US Marines lead by Ed Harris travelling with the tourists seizes control of the Island and holds America to ransom. The ransom is for recognition and payment for lives lost in a war and no compensation went to the families of the lost loved ones. If the ransom is not met, then Ed Harris and his platoon will launch chemical weapons at San Francisco.

Meanwhile, Nicolas Cage (FBI agent) who is a chemical weapons expert who works in an office all day, becomes a field agent and has to infiltrate Alcatraz to try and disarm the missiles.

The US Government and US Military try to think of ways of getting onto Alcatraz without Ed Harris' platoon knowing this and the only way of getting onto a remote Island without being noticed is by the underground pipework, which is situated under water.

They know that there is only one man who has survived escaping from Alcatraz and still alive today but he is still a federal prisoner. So, the US Government visit the federal prisoner who is played by Sean Connery and is ex-Special Air Service.

The US Government offer Sean Connery a full pardon if he helps the Government to gain access to Alcatraz.

The stage is now set: Both Nicolas Cage and Sean Connery set-off for Alcatraz with a platoon of US Marines to over-through Ed Harris and to try and disarm the missies.

This is a great movie with action through-out with good characters played by Ed Harris, Nicolas Cage and Sean Connery.

The only negatives I found in this movie, was how easy the chemical weapons facility was comprimised by Ed Harris for him to steal them and that if this did happen in a real-world situation. The US Military wouldn't send US Marines into this kind of situation. They would actually send in Navy SEALS.

Overall, a great movie with lots of action.
