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!!!

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.

This movie is the best example of a masterpiece action movie and gives all action movie makers something to look up to.

Nicholas Cage and Sean Connery were the best. The action, sound, and overall theme of the movie was great. The movie was well written.

This is my all time favorite.First of all the 3 main characters are played by great actors.The story is also very interesting.You also feel some kind of sympathy for General Hummel(Ed Harris),the bad guy.You know he's actually a man with a cause and though he threatens the government to kill 80.000 people,you somehow feel that he won't do it,but you can never be sure.And one more thing is that the music is superb and adds even more excitement to a wonderful movie.Besides,there are great dialogs and the humor is not missing either.It's a must-see by all means.

I don't think i seen a Action movie like this before (Besids Broken Arrow).The movie have a lot of great stunts and action-scenes,but what I realy like is the actors in The Rock.They're so!!!! good and the comments are just perfect.So go and buy it or rent it.

this movie ROCKS my world!!!!!!! and my roomie's too! hehe. this is the single greatest action movie of alllllllllllll time that i have ever seen and probably ever lay my eyes on. it's heart-pounding, heart-stopping, heart-core slam-bang action thriller for allllll ages.... yeah!
