movies4granted Bayhem to the max + Conmery and Cage = good time Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/16/24 Full Review Issara K Very great action film ! one of the best entertainment film. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/14/24 Full Review Ryan W if you like flashy lights, pew pew sounds and the camera cutting every 5 seconds so you can't see any of the fun stuff then this is the movie for you! Don't understand it's popularity nor Michael Bays for that matter. Only good thing here was Sean Connery Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/11/24 Full Review Dermot M have watched this many times and is still a brilliant movie, Connery,Cage and Harris are at the top of their game, class. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/06/24 Full Review Thomas R If the story was a little tighter, this could've a great action movie. Otherwise, it is still an entertaining movie that has a solid story, solid characters, and good action. I’m sure most fans of Michael Bay and action movies will enjoy this film, despite it’s shortcomings Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/03/24 Full Review Carson P It’s not the only great movie from Michael bay but it’s by far the best one and the one that has the most nuanced storytelling and charachter development they matter this time and it isn’t just about action spectacle, bay actually made it have important charachters to root for which I did and have an oscar worthy script. Sean Connery gives an outstanding performance as the main protagonist who is a retired special force agent and you can understand his motivations on how he is to stop these terrorists from launching poison gas in San Francisco. Nicolas cage is witty and funny as hell as FBI Dr Stanley goodspeed who is engaged to be married and is a fan of the Beatles you can also relate to him and he and Connery have great chemistry and make a compelling team. Ed Harris is three dimensional as the antagonist who first appears at his wife’s funeral and vowes to take revenge by threatening to destroy San Francisco, the other charachters from John Spencer, to William Forsyth, Michael biehn and the others who play the army guys and the government officials are likeable and entertaining. They are also well developed. The action is among the very best bay has ever filmed and among the best framed in the history of motion pictures especially that car chase which was like a fast paced version of that one in bullit. Easily the best staged car chase scene of all action films you can see and comprehend everything going on within it and the story and narrative inside all the action scenes including the shootouts, the plot moves along exhilarated and is plausible enough to not notice any errors, this concluded the partnership of simpson and bruckheimer due to the formers death and it was an emotional ride and it get like a latter tribute to don simpson as it was dedicated to him he didn’t even live to see it and he would have been proud collecting everything that was great about their movies and making it the most exiting and heartfelt, and also intelligent, this isn’t the typical leave your brain at the door action film this one actually has brain cells and thinking it’s thoughtful and has enough involving drama to have enough substance. Michael bay should have got an Oscar for this masterpiece and work of art it’s that great one of the best films of the 90s and in my opinion the best movie of 1996 even better than Fargo and the English patient ranking along with Independence Day as the best of the best of that year this always has and always will remain an action classic 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏🙌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/05/24 Full Review Read all reviews
