Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times -
A first-rate, slam-bang action thriller with a lot of style and no little humor.
|
|
Rolling Stone -
It's a popcorn-movie deluxe.

|
Austin Chronicle -
The Guy Movie to end all Guy Movies, a ridiculously overblown summer testosterone blowout right down to the Wagnerian strains of the soundtrack and its stunningly high body count. It's also a hell of a lot of fun.

ReelViews -
Although not as expertly-crafted as "Die Hard" or "Speed," The Rock is exhausting in its own right -- and that's just one of several convincing reasons to see this film.

San Francisco Chronicle -
A raucous, in-your-face, commando-style action thriller that makes provocative use of Alcatraz as a lunatic's lair and San Francisco as a sitting duck.
