A Simpson and Bruckheimer Classic
Reviewed in Australia on 19 March 2021
Verified Purchase
This movie is very much of its time stylistically speaking, but it's head and shoulders above nearly all of the action movies of today in the script dept, with each of the main characters given backstories, motive and consequences for all of their actions.
I would suggest perhaps not watching in HD on a big screen. They haven't exactly tried very hard with Sean Connery's stunt double, he's like 10kgs heavier and looks nothing like Sean, 😂 (it can't be unseen)
Still and great action movie!

A Michael Bay classic!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 July 2021

In more recent times, it has become very popular and quite trendy to slag off anything that has Michael Bay's name attached to it. It's a fairly annoying bias that I do wish would go away. You only need to look at a movie like The Rock as an example why.

The Rock was originally released in 1996 and was directed by the previously mentioned Michael Bay. The film runs at around 135 minutes and was produced by Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer, also featuring a score composed by Hans Zimmer and Nick Glennie-Smith. There's a great all star cast including the legendary man's man, Sean Connery, Nicolas Cage, Michael Biehn and Ed Harris.

In the movie, Brigadier General Hummel (Harris) and his fellow soldiers take control of some deadly VX gas loaded rockets. They take control of Alcatraz prison and demands reparations for soldiers who fell under his command, whose families did not receive compensation due to the secrecy behind their missions. If the Government fails to comply, they plan to kill off San Francisco. Stanley Goodspeed (Cage) is recruited into disarming these rockets, finding himself in an unlikely duo with John Patrick Mason (Connery), an ex SAS soldier. The only man to have escaped Alcatraz and survived. Together they take on the disgruntled soldiers and try to save San Francisco from their doom.

The Rock is a very easy movie to watch. It panders directly towards action movie fans and has no subtlety in doing so. The film moves from one great action piece to another, strung together by some great witty dialogue and one liners. It's a very typical Bay film in that regard but that's certainly not a bad thing. This was Bay at his finest and the great pacing of the movie is a great example of that. You'll see a lot of his tropes through out, including a superb car chase, magnificent practical fiery explosions, some fun gun play and lots of military aircraft with a sunset back drop.

It's certainly a beautiful looking film and this remastered print on bluray really does it justice. It's a perfect crystal clear image with lots of striking detail, strong colours and detail in the shadows. The sound mix is also pretty good. It's a little on the quiet side, but once you crank that sucker up, it really comes to life. The gun fights, the pounding Zimmer sound track etc all sound great.

As far as action movies go, The Rock is by far one of the more underrated ones. The cast is great, the pacing is on point, the music fits the mood and the experience just whizzes by, even with its lengthy running time. If you don't have this movie in your action collection, you need to fix that immediately. Especially if you haven't seen the film before. I absolutely recommend picking it up.

Anti terrorist action at Alcatraz tourist destination

Sean Connery and Nicolas Cage team work with elements of war action movies over the island, Indiana Jones coal mine run underneath Alcatraz, hostage abduction in the former prison, with the elements of the stories of their personal lives involving conspiracy, injustice, revenge, determination, love.

知る人ぞ知る、アクション映画の最高傑作
Reviewed in Japan on 5 December 2017

（2020.11.1追記）
昨日ショーン・コネリー氏が亡くなった。初代ジェームス・ボンドとして007を今日まで人気シリーズとした立役者であり、ロマンスグレー髪と白いあご髭を蓄えてからは、ケビン・コスナーやハリソン・フォードら当代人気の主人公をバックアップする名脇役を務め、我が儘で高圧的なのに憎めない老人と言う、他の役者では決して出せない存在感を示してくれた。
特殊メイクが必要なファンタジーやＳＦは余り好まず、生身の人間役を選び続けた事で大人の風格を保ち、引退したジェームス・ボンドを彷彿とさせるその絶大な安心感は、後進を厳しく背中で教える役が見事に嵌まっていた。本作ではニコラス・ケイジは言うに及ばす、エド・ハリスすら小僧に見えてしまう“凄い老人”の重みが今も忘れられない。
定番の若山弦蔵氏の吹替えで観るザ・ロックは、アクション映画史の黎明期を築いた彼の集大成として永遠に刻まれるべき伝説です。

（以下、原レビューです）
冷静に考えれば、この三人がアクション映画で共演していることが既に奇跡なのかも知れない。兎に角かなり多い演者全員のキャラの立ち方が物凄い。端役の観光客捕虜やFBI捜査官すら記憶に残る個性で、それほどアクション映画では異次元的に面白い。
しかもスタッフは男の本懐を知り尽くす伝説的プロデューサーのジェリー・ブラッカイマーと「トップガン」「ビバリーヒルズ・コップ」のシナリオ機知に富むドン・シンプソンが製作し、圧倒的な迫力映像の魔術師「アルマゲドン」「トランスフォーマー」のマイケル・ベイ監督、音楽は巨匠ハンス・ジマーなのだから面白くない訳がない。

細菌テロ対策、ド派手なカーアクション、アルカトラズ潜入作戦、二人だけのミサイル奪還ゲリラ戦、FBIの裏の顔、政府対策本部の苦渋の決断等、息も着かせぬ見所が満載。
極めつけはエド･ハリス演じる海兵隊ハメル准将の高潔で渾身なる主張が、対極に居るゲスな戦争屋の金銭欲と、最も純粋な家族愛に支えられたショーン･コネリー演じる元英国スパイと、ニコラス･ケイジ演じるＦＢＩ毒物研究員の二人に阻まれるカタルシス、これには痺れまくった。
ハリスの現場指揮官としての政府への要求は復讐ではなく補償と言うのが本作に哀しくも厚みを持たせている。

方法論が正しいかは議論の余地はあるが、それでも世界秩序が今も数多くの米兵達の犠牲の上に成立し、米国民がその負担を甘受している事実は、同盟国の我々日本人も知っておくべき作品でもある。
シリーズ化が困難な程の完成度を誇るアクション映画の最高峰。中でも熟年のショーン･コネリーは知勇、アクション、懐深さ、男臭さ満点の圧倒的存在感で彼の最高傑作だろう。劇中ニコラス･ケイジとの男のやり取りは何度観ても味わい深くて唸らせる。また、奪還作戦に臨むシールズを率いたマイケル･ビーンの悲壮なる台詞も忘れられない。
誰もが知る勇壮なテーマ曲にのった極上の二時間をお約束します。日本語吹替えも完璧な出来で、許されるなら☆6を付けたい何度も観れるアクション映画の逸品中の逸品。

a great action flick starring sean connery , nick cage and ed harris
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 February 2011
Verified Purchase
this is truely a great action film, which is action packed from start to finnish, it stars some of the biggest names in film history sean connery, nicholas cage and ed harris, it has a run time of over two hours and unlike most action films that just portray needless violence this film actually has a plot and story line, i gave this film 5 stars just for the plot thats without the fantastic acting from the lead actors

right to the film the film has as the baddie ed harris playing a general, a solider who fought 3 tours in vietnam, dessert storm and led his men into hundreds of black ops, he has become marginilised from his governemnt and army due to the fact when a black ops soldier is killed in action his men who gave their lives get no recognition medals and their loved ones are given no compensation just feeble reasons and causes of death, he has tried to change this but in the end desides his only course of action is to with non lethal force gain pocession of some chemical and biological weapons and take alcatraz island and prison along with the tourists on the island hostage and threaten san francisco with destruction by releasing the chemical weapons which would wipe out hundreds of thousand of civilians

then enters nick cage as a chemical weapons whiz the fbi's top chemical weapons chappie and sean connerys character james mason, a former sas man who the american government has imprisoned for thirty years with no recognition and no one knowing why or where he is imprisoned, he is bought in because he is the only man ever to have escaped from alcatraz when he was as he says a former guest of the island

now im not going to tell you anymore of what happens as i dont want to ruin the film but the entire film is action packed and has a emotional impact where you even feel sympathy for the baddie, ed harris and for his reasons for taking such action which goes against everything he has fought for all his life as a soldier

this is truly a great action flick which takes pride of place in my film collection and would be a good addition to yours too
