If you need a good reason to call this week from work, no one will blame you for pretending fever so you can stay at home and watch The Rock. In fact, you may not even lie when you tell your boss that you are unable to work after watching Sean Connery and Nicolas Cage Kick ASS for 136 minutes because The Rock They are likely to set off the fillings directly from the teeth if you have a good audio system at home. There is no doubt that everyone likes to rank on Michael Bay sometimes to rely on an explosion to tell the story, but the reason we give him a second chance is because The Rock He is one of the biggest action films of all time and we stick to the hope that one day he will hit gold.
An incredible chain of events, but who does it care about?
Time to give you a basic outline Rock So we can talk about how crazy this movie is really.
Brigadier Marine Corp. US General Francis X. Hummel (Ed Harris) confiscates the island of Alcatraz, because after years of loyal service to his country, his men who were lost during his Vietnam tours never received a proper replacement for their families. After taking 81 hostages, Hummel contacts the FBI and explained its plans to the market full of nerve gas, which would cause irreparable damage to the San Francisco Bay area if it was detonated. The Rock It represents the trop of “zero clock” with which we are all familiar with when hummel gives the US government a term to provide a ransom of $ 100 million, which means that it has to act quickly and either pay or neutralize the threat.
Dream Team
How does the FBI plan to intervene, are you asking?
Nicolas Cage.
Dr. Stanley Goodspeed (Nicolas Cage) is a chemical weapon expert who had no experience of field experience or weapons training outside his academic days, and knows that it is a “laboratory rat” that is probably not inappropriate to attack a fortified prison full of angry Marines with grinding ax. For the same reason, the only person who has qualified to disarm missiles that Hummel has in his possession, and he has to do it personally, not remotely because it is 1996.
“But wait, no one has ever successfully missed Alcatraz in a fiction that.” The Rock It was established, so it’s an impossible mission, isn’t it? ”
Poorly!
We have James Bond … Well, sorta.
Goodspeed is informed of the existence of John Patrick Mason (Sean Connery), disgraced Captain British Special Air Service (SAS), who has not seen daylight for 30 years because he stole and hid the microfilm before J. Edgar Hoover, who sets the darkest and dirtiest secrets of the US government. Mason is also the only man who has ever escaped Alcatraz, but naturally reluctant to help the FBI on the basis of need-especially after he has been locked as an animal for most of his adult life.
After some convincing and high -speed persecution, which results in the destruction of half the city (you know, thing Whether everyone is trying to prevent), Mason agrees to take a mission with Goodspeed, and signs a document that offers him full mercy after completing the mission … or thinks.
I have to remind you at the moment The Rock It takes about an hour of running to get the title Island in prison, and there has been another explosion than you could ever dream.
Each active film TROPE has performed perfection
To be fully taken The RockYou have to suspend any distrust, because each scene is more than the last. Remember, GoodSpeed has No field experienceBut when he needs to trace Mason (who runs at a turning point in the stolen humvee), Ferrari and tears across San Francisco, without thinking twice.
When Goodspeed and Mason finally get into Alcatraz, it is not even time for an epic shootout to smooth the accompanying naval seals who were to do all the hard lifting. This is okay, because Goodspeed, who did not even have his own Bickering weapon match Mason, who is preparing to escape from Alcatraz (again) after successfully got the Seal team into the compound.
Every single scene in The Rock It is an escalation exercise that will culminate in a clearing that will at the same time make you say “in any case” and “let’s effective! How unrealistic is all about it.
Marking the height of the surplus of an action film from the 90s, The Rock He is one of those films I can watch once a year and never get sick. If you want to witness a reason Michael Bay still gaining a second chance, especially then Pearl HarborThen you can watch the biggest action movie of all time right now on Hulu.
