I'd probably say Con Air for sheer popcorn entertainment and Face/Off for the closest John Woo was allowed to translate his Hong Kong blood opera style to Hollywood blockbuster filmmaking. I've never actually cared for The Rock and always felt it was where Michael Bay's "Bayisms" were beginning to take hold with the overly long runtime and overly sombre military scenes mixed with Bay's trademarked juvenile humor.

I like your assessment and definitely agree. Even thinking about it, I really only like the first half or so of The Rock. It over stays it welcome shortly after the mission goes awry (shower scene massacre), imo.
