Is Michael Bay’s The Rock worthy of high praise or not? We put it through the trials to find out if it is or not. This 1996 blockbuster pits Nicolas Cage with the legendary Sean Connery and future National Treasure: Book of Secrets co-star Ed Harris. This thrilling md-90s action film offers a lot in the way of action but also offers up hope. We discuss what winners specifically do, what justice really looks like, how bloody our history truly is and much more.
