It could have been a truly excellent film but Ed Harris needed better writing and support. Both Sean Connery and Nicholas Cage put on fine performances with some good support from the other actors. For an adventure film it was excellent and I certainly liked it more than Armageddon. The decision to kill the Seals was silly and exposed the weakness in the sub-plot. By the way if you remember Bush's remark about Putin, "I saw it in his eyes". Sean Connery says the very same thing about Harris to Cage when he tells him that the city won't be attacked. Bay didn't spend enough time on the development of Harris' character or his predicament which lead to the outcome of the story.
A true thrill ride, a group of marines decide to become domestic terrorists for, what they believe is a good cause, and make Alcatraz their base of operations. Now it's up to a bio-chemist and a former prisoner, the only person to ever escape, to stop them. A real thrill ride and Sean Connery film, this one is not to be missed.

As a person who loves alot of styles of movies I rarely here this mentioned by fans of the action genre, yet it is one of my favorites. Sean Connery plays his role very well, as does Nic Cage, but it is really Ed Harris who steals the show as the leader of the psycho renegade soldiers. I would recommmend this to any fan of the genre. Don't get the crappy cheap version. It is worth springing for this definative Criterion Collection version.
This is a fantastic movie. It is sad that Criterion lost the rights before Blu-ray.

This DVD played great. Ordered one before that did not play. Had waited to watch and forgot where I ordered. Will stay with De Clutter from now on.
