The best of Michael Bay flicks..Cage is good as the in-over-his-head FBI agent

A throwback to when Michael Bay could still direct a (relatively) coherent story.

A straight forward action film but hey… it’s Nicholas Cage. Always re-watchable!

Michael Bay & San Francisco Bay make a good match, thanks in large part to a talented cast. As action entertainment goes, The Rock is solid.

Easily Michael Bay’s best. Sean Connery and Nic Cage are also at the top of their game. Good fun action, and an excellent Hans Zimmer score.
