Film Review: The Rock

Release date: June 7th 1996.

Story: Alcatraz has been taken over by a group of rouge US Force Recon Marines. Who have also stolen fifteen missiles armed with a deadly nerve agent and have also taken eighty one tourists hostage. Their tell the American government that they will fire the missiles at targeted locations in San Francisco unless they get 100 million dollars which their leader will give to the families of fallen soldiers who's deaths were not compensated. It's up to a former SAS captain (Sean Connery) and a chemical weapons expert (Nicolas Cage) to infiltrate the island, take out the rouge marines, and disarm the missiles before the deadline is up. Will they be able to do it in time? Watch the movie and find out.

My thoughts: A great movie. Both the characters and the action are amazing. Apparently Arnold Schwarzenegger was supposed to play the part of the chemical weapons expert but he turned it down. Overall it is a enjoyable film and I would recommend it for any action film fan.

My score: Four stars.
