Major Rock

About This Movie

Major Rock is a curious piece of late '90s action cinema that doesn't shy away from its absurdity. The plot, while somewhat derivative, offers a chaotic blend of political intrigue and military bravado. You've got the Vice President's sister and a trio of centerfolds caught in the crosshairs of Nicaraguan rebels—definitely a wild setup. Major Rock, played with a certain grit typical of the era, leads his S-RAD team into a whirlwind of gunfire and explosions that, for better or worse, are all practical effects. The pacing is erratic, matching the frenetic energy of its premise, and the performances oscillate between earnest and campy, which kind of adds to its charm. It's not a masterpiece, but it sure sticks out in the action landscape of the time.
