"Conspiracy Theories is just being paranoid... not to Mason! (but look where it got him!)" - summit10
A General in a verge of mutiny to give American soldiers what was due, a proper military burial and compensation for the family who survived them!
To make things complicated, throw in an unwilling prisoner who has been taught to be the only survivor who escaped Alcatraz in his time and have him give the directions underneath it's tunnels, 81 hostaged tourists and rockets that will hit San Francisco's intended scores of people.
There were lots of gunfight and explosions as usual, nothing new that will amaze fans and action junkies alike! I was impressed by the film's action sequences and banters between Cage and Connery. I saw the film years ago but it still gave a wonderful experience seeing a star studded cast. Cage, Connery and even Harris are applaudable and made a great effort to give the film a remarkable output!
It even got hints on some conspiracy theories of the United States, but we won't know won't we?!?
The film was directed by Michael Bay, the so called "king of slow motion capture underneath the actor then circ*mferencing to a perfect angle screen shot!" That was a mouthful! I really thought that it gave me more of an impression on how Directors applied their "signature" moves for the films they make! But maybe it won't hurt if he does more delivery on his style since everyone has their own repertoire!
To finalize, watching these films from Bay before made it to my great lists of films, but after seeing Pearl Harbor, Bad Boys 1 and 2, Armageddon and don't forget the Transformers franchise, I'm ambivalent of whether he can rise up to the challenge and make a decent film once more!
