Is "The Rock" Worth A Rewatch?

On the 4th episode, Anthony and Al discuss whether the movie "The Rock" from 1996 is worth rewatching or not!

"Forget Maui." - John Mason

What do you remember about "The Rock"? Did you see it in the theaters back then? This action flick came out in the same year as other blockbusters like "Independence Day", "Twister", and the first "Mission: Impossible" movie, but how did "The Rock" fare among these other giants? It stars Nicholas Cage, Sean Connery, and Ed Harris (not your typical action line-up) and was directed by Michael Bay.

So how does this movie hold up? What did the critics say back then? With all the new movies and TV shows nowadays, should you put all that aside and watch this adrenaline-pumping action movie again?

All these questions answered and more on this episode of "Worth A Rewatch?"
