| THE ROCK REVIEW |
 |
| THE ROCK IS A SUPER MOVIE, FILLED WITH EXCITEMENT, HUMOUR, ACTION AND EMOTIONAL IMPACT. MICHAEL GIVES A DIGNIFIED PERFORMANCE AS COMMANDER ANDERSON, AND HIS POWERFUL PERFORMANCE IN HIS FINAL SCENE HAS BEEN, AND WILL BE REMEMBERED FOR YEARS TO COME. IT IS A SHAME THAT HE DOES NOT GET MORE SCREEN TIME, BUT MICHAEL SHOWS THAT EVEN AT 40, HE CAN STILL BE A GREAT NAVY SEAL! THE REST OF THE CAST ARE GREAT, CONNERY IS IN ONE OF HIS BEST ROLES OF HIS CAREER, AND CAGE'S ACTION MOVIE CAREER LAUNCHED WITH THIS MOVIE. ED HARRIS TURNS IN A GREAT PERFORMANCE AS GENERAL HUMMEL. THE SCORE BY HANS ZIMMER IS ALSO A FAVOURITE OF MINE, AND ENHANCES MICHAEL'S CHARACTER WITH A GREAT THEME TUNE. THE SHOWER-ROOM SCENE MAKES THE MOVIE FOR ME, AND MICHAEL IS RIGHT AT THE HEART OF IT. ALL IN ALL, THE ROCK IS A HIGHLY ENJOYABLE FILM, AND SHOULD REMAIN AS A CLASSIC FOR MANY YEARS TO COME. 8/10 |
