the rock is like a collection of everything a great 90s action flick was meant to be, at its best. watch that clip, and witness just how much slow motion slaughtering and over-dramatic music there is. see the picturesque poses the dead navy seals hit. note how the camera dances across the dank shower room as these two guys yell at each other. it’s a 90s action ballet.

the supporting cast is made of 90s action all-stars, like michael biehn, william forsythe, and john c. mcginley, along with a menagerie of other guys you’ve seen before but don’t know the names of. and it’s all topped off with a double shot of connery and cage. looks good on a poster, eh?

then watch this clip and see how far out of his way nicolas cage goes to deliver a shitty one-liner before he offs a guy. this is the epitome of the genre, people. bow your heads.
