Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
There isn't a shot, scene or sequence in The Rock that doesn't move furiously, typically with colored lights flashing into our faces or onto those of the actors.

rotten:
You might need to take Dramamine before entering a Michael Bay movie. The one-time music-video director has an annoying habit of finding the tightest shots, editing the heck out of them and scoring the works to loud music.

For action-adventure fans, it just doesn't get any better than The Rock.

fresh:
Since the plot is ridiculous, The Rock works best when it's most light-hearted.

If it's not the most awful thing I've ever seen, it's close enough to make me wince.
