January 23, 2010A classic Die Hard situation: a very special place, hostages, villains and heroes to the rescue.

May 22, 2009Great action film with good effects and a reasonable plot. Connery is cool for once and the gunfights rock hehe but Nic Cage sucks ass as usual.

January 19, 2010Michael Bay's first and most explosive and intense film constitutes a cinematic sample of endless fun. The very first sign of Bay's patriotism and witty editing make of this fast-paced action thriller a decent film to watch with an unforgettable cast.
60/100

January 10, 2007This movie is so excellent, it's a completed movie!! I mean there is a success guns attack intrusion, a failed one, cars pursuit, many fights and shooting scenes. The soundtrack is amasing and the story is so nice. Even the hairdresser is really funny. Everything is just perfect, I'll never be bored to listen this movie.
