Even though I and my family members were into some initial Festive Cleaning and decluttering, we managed the time for a movie watch.
Another old time and a hit movie.
The Sean Connery, Nicolas Cage, Ed Harris and John Spencer starrer The Rock (1996).
This movie even inspired a Bollywood Movie :
Qayamat - City under Siege in 2003.
Many of you might be familiar with this movie, but for those who are not, it is an action thriller where a city is under the threat of certain Chemical weapons and there is a race against time to defend it.
Sean Connery is brilliant but I think the best role is portrayed by Nicolas Cage and probably Ed Harris.

I found the scene where Sean Connery tries to get away in a Humvee through San Francisco toads causing mayhem boring and long.
The movie becomes interesting once the forces try to get inside the Alcatraz island from the waters.
