Product Description
ROCK,THE (BLURAY)
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 Blu-ray, 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

 The Rock May 30, 2010
C. Latham (Truckee, CA)
This item was just as described and arrived very quickly. I would definitely buy from this seller in the future.

Shaun Connelly, a funny scotsman, plays the acting double for the stuntman doing his characters stunts in this very poor quality and dull film. It limps along from dreary dialogue heavy scene to a smattering of poorly handled and badly edited 'action scenes' and some explosions.
The story, if you can stretch this back of cig packet plot to such a description, focuses on an old soldier, played badly by Eddie Harris, trying to fudge a bit of compensation for soldiers he probably killed in a friendly fire incident and some other stuff too.
His plan is to steal a load of anal love toys filled with predator (from Predator, the film and its superior sequels) blood. As the jungle girl, Anna, said in Predator, 'It's blood was on the leebs!'. The end of that film saw the predator blood blow up in nuclear bomb type explode flame bang! These anal beads that are in The Rock are just as dangerous as some nitrogycerol when it is dropped or thrown. Very volatile.
However, the acting and plot holes ruin any kind of adventure or excitement for the viewer. As if anal beads filled with predator blood are an effective plot device to cause excitement with today's clever plots. Nick Cage is unusually bad in this film, worse than Mr 'too old' Connelly, a funny scotsman, whose performance was as bad as the one he did in Highlander, another chronically bad piece of bum cake. The rock is not good. Even looking just as silly on a blueray with the added oomph you expect but are still not as happy about but a bit sharper. Bad film and other good things on the disc too.
I have given this film 2 stars as I hadn't seen it all the way through.
Great Movie March 29, 2010

What a great movie! Not only is the movie fantastic, but the special features give great insight into the process of making such a classic. And it has outtakes, everybody loves that part of the movie.

I love Nick Cage in his bigger films like this, con air & gone in 60 seconds, and face off. I think he is one of my favorite actors.
