Stam Fine Reviews looks at the 1996 film The Rock, directed by Michael Bay and starring Nicolas Cage, Sean Connery, Ed Harris, Claire Forlani, Vanessa Marcil, Tony Todd, Bokeem Woodbine, David Morse, John C McGinley, William Forsythe, and more. Ex Marines hold San Francisco hostage with nerve gas missiles to be fired from Alcatraz. Ripped from the headlines, assuming you read 'Idiot Monthly.'

The best epilogue to the James Bond series.

At this point in his career, Cage wasn't an action hero, nor the walking meme machine that he is today. He'd been in comedies or serious but quirky roles and was seen as a rom-com star as much as anything. When The Rock was released, he'd just won Best Actor for Leaving Las Vegas. Then we suddenly got The Rock, Con Air, and Face/Off back-to-back.

There’s something to be said about the stand off in the showers scene between Ed Harris and Michael Bein. For being in a summer blockbuster explosion fest that was some S tier acting from all with fantastic editing and a score that led to a very gripping scene that I will never forget.

There was an incredibly interesting video that put forth the theory that Sean Connery’s character was in fact the Connery James Bond. Going through so many details there wasn’t a single scene or line of dialogue that would make it break cannon. And quite a few things that lined up with both time lines, and gave it credibility. Wish I remembered who made the video.

I second the recommendation to visit Alcatraz. The only reason I went when I lived in San Francisco was because a friend of mine's mom was visiting and wanted to go, so I tagged along to be nice. I ended up really enjoying it even though I really didn't feel like going originally. Really fascinating place, and it's very well set up as historic site.

Great movie, when i first got a DVD player around 2002, The Rock was the 1st DVD I bought. It is very quotable "Your best, Goodspeed", "Your between a Rock and a hardcase", "I drive a Volvo, a beige one" . Also a fun fact, the design of the VEX Poison gas rockets, in the way they shown in the movie was deliberately wrong (they wanted to make them look cool), but the British government took the design from this movie and put into the infamous "dodgy dossier" in 2003 used to justify the war in Iraq. It was later admitted they just took it from the movie, following a Google search, I kid you not.

As a young(er) man, I didn't 'get' Nicholas Cage. However, I have developed a deep appreciation of his talent, his ability to not take himself seriously, and to just take on any role, regardless of budget or prestige, just to do something new. Mandy, Pig, Renfield, Raising Arizona, Primal. and Colour out of Space, the only decent H.P. Lovecraft adaption. When he appeared in an oh-so brief cameo as Superman in the also-totally underrated Flash movie, I yelled out, scaring the cats let me tell you. By the way Colour out id Space is definitely worth a review.

Apart, from basically everything about the "Vx" (color, how it works, how Atropine works, etc.) it was a nice action movie... But the final straw was injecting a shitload of Atropine directly into the heart! Hollywood running rampant after firing all advisors and anyone with a tiny bit of knowledge about those things to keep the plot going. 😂😂😂
