John’s “The Rock” Throwback Thursday review, June 3, 2021
“The Rock” – An all-star cast headlines director Michael Bay’s intense tale of a war hero (Ed Harris) who threatens San Francisco with chemical weapons. Infiltrating his base are Nicolas Cage as the chemical expert and Sean Connery as the only man to ever escape Alcatraz. “The Rock” delivers breathless action, sharp-tongued dialogue, gut-wrenching drama and an epic music score.
