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

 Jockonarock! Apr 22, 2010
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 Mar 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.
One of the best bluray movies! Feb 19, 2010
This move is entertaining all the way plus its in blu ray! beautiful. 5 stars.

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.
