5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST ACTION FLICK........., September 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Rock (Widescreen Edition) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I've seen in a long while. Not real crazy about Cage's performance, but the plot is very good. Ed Harris, once again, outshines them all in a spectacular display as Gen. Hummel. The action starts with a bang and does not let up. I highly recommend this one to any action "freak". Happy viewing!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Exactly An Accurate Picture..., August 30, 2002

This review is from: The Rock (Widescreen Edition) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Taken simply as a fast-paced shoot-'em-up action thriller, this film works well enough. But the actions and motivations behind Ed Harris (General Hummel) and the Force Recon marines who side with him leave much to be desired. A few simple facts for those interested:

Marines volunteer for Force Recon, and they do so with full knowledge of the risks and sacrifices being asked of them, including annonimity. These gentlemen are not in the military for college benefits. They are warriors, and have chosen to live - and die, if needed - in a warrior culture. So the idea that a high-ranking officer and active members would desert and become terrorists is both ridiculous and repugnant, for to do so would betray the honor and sacrifice of the men who had died in combat.

I couldn't print what winners do. Great plot ( terrorists, if I may be permitted to call them such, with a purpose other than personal wealth. ) It would have had the greatest death scene in movie history had Cage been allowed to die.
