Amazon.com:
Between his high-octane debut, Bad Boys, and 1998's wannabe blockbuster Armageddon, hotshot director Michael Bay forged his dubious reputation with this crowd-pleasing action extravaganza. In it a psychotically disgruntled war hero (Ed Harris) seizes the island prison of Alcatraz and threatens to wage chemical warfare against nearby San Francisco unless the government publicly recognizes the men who were killed under Harris's top-secret command. Nicolas Cage plays the biochemist who teams up with the only man ever to have escaped from Alcatraz (Sean Connery) in an attempt to foil Harris's terrorist scheme. As one might expect, what follows is an action-packed barrage of bullets, bodies, and climactic confrontations, replete with enough plot contrivances to give even the most jaded action fan cause for alarm. It's a load of hooey, but the cast is obviously having a grand old time, and there's enough wit to make the recycled action sequences tolerable. If you're ordering this movie on DVD, be careful with the volume knobs on your home-theater sound systems, because The Rock could cause partial hearing loss and structural damage to your home. --Jeff Shannon

Loved this movie. Bought it for my 18 year old, who was too young to see it as a new release. He loved it! Nicholas Cage and Sean Connery are two fantastic actors whose appeal never ages!

- One of my favorites!
This action-packed movie has it all: explosions, gun-fights, effects, and some humor. I recommend this to anyone. Not a kid movie.

Rating:

- Adventure
An excellent movie of using an older person to solve a problem you have no idea how to handle. But, there must be some reward for their work.
