The soundtrack was good but in my opinion it fell flat completely even with how huge some of the set pieces were. I prefer Harlin's later effort with his wife then, the long kiss goodnight. Now that film was awesome.

Sorry I got my years mixed up yes indeed Michael Bay's The Rock. As Buscemi pointed out though another project that was in development hell was Sgt. Rock with Joel Silver in the late 80s/ early 90s.
Presumably Arnie would have had the Goodspeed role. I imagine the script would have had the character be quite different if Arnie had played him. I love Arnie but i think The Rock is perfect the way it is, the chemistry between Cage and Connery is to die for and the stuff that action movie classics are made of!

I also love The Long Kiss Goodnight, i am a huge Harlin fan and it pains me to see him make failure after failure as i think he had a great run in the 90's (in terms of movies i've loved).
