A movie not to miss! - The Rock review by CP Customer
This is my favourite movie for many reasons! First of all, you've got the two "monsters" starring in one movie: Sir Sean Connery and Nicolas Cage. So, you know from the start that this movie is bound to be good. And it is indeed even better than good! It is great.
The plot seems pretty plausible, especially in this day and age. The cast is carefully selected and the performance put up by all the actors is just amazing.
Secondly, the film itself is very good. Be it the script, be it the music, be it I don't know what, the movie is worth having a place of its own in your DVD collection. Thirdly, the effects, although not very sophisticated are correctly used and complement the performances.
Watch it and then live it by watching it again!
