The Rock (30th Anniversary Screening)
Alcatraz. Only one man has ever broken out. Now five million lives depend on two men breaking in.
(Newsweek)
“[Nic] Cage’s role is the better written and the more obviously winning. Yet there is no greater pleasure in the movies than watching Connery back in the saddle, undiminished, engaging in more hand-to-hand action than he ever did as Bond. “ (Independent UK)
“Director Michael Bay achieves the illusion of seriousness with some well-timed comic outbursts from Cage, whose acting gift is his ability to convince us he could do absolutely anything at any time.” (Detroit Free Press)
