Con Air

Nicolas Cage's performance as a southern former Army Ranger turned ex-con who gets trapped on a plane full of dangerous criminals like John Malkovich, Ving Rhames, Danny Trejo, Dave Chappelle, and Steve Buscemi was friggin awesome! This is both Nicolas Cage... Full review

Con Air is no first class ride. However, it never intended to be in the first place and still ends up being fun for action fans. For ex-Ranger Cameron Poe, life has become slightly unfair. After accidentally killing a vicious drunk... Full review

Jerry Bruckheimer may be gold at the box office, but he owns a spotty record when it comes to quality. For every "National Treasure" and "The Rock" exists a "Bad Boys II" or a "Pearl Harbor." "Con Air" is shoddily made.... Full review

I really liked Mr. Nicolas Cages, character in this movie, how he has that macho man attitude as his character. Over all, it was a non stop action all the way. It was an awesome movie!. I highly recommend it. I... Full review

This was not a flight you want to be on this was i thought going to be a good movie but turned out bad but it did have its good parts.... Full review

The music fit perfectly. It is a well directed film and great actors play superb roles and they played their parts to perfection. It's to bad they never made a Con Air Part 2. I loved this movie. Hopefully, we will... Full review

It's somewhat silly, somewhat unbelievable, but lot's of fun as we watch an airplane busing a lot of criminals to there next prison, only to see them over throw it (they have to or we wouldn't have a movie)... Full review

The story sucks, Nicholas Cage's acting is worse, and I wouldn't bother. I honestly can't understand how this guy still works.... Full review

Nice mullet, Nic! His pooch hairdo effectively takes attention away from his massively-developed arms and Kirk-body-oiled man-chest. Written by Scott Rosenberg (complete with every stereotype known to Western Civilization: the quiet serial killer (Steve Buscemi), the Badd Mexx (Danny Trejo), the... Full review

This movie is amazing. John Malkovich was the greatest choice for Cyrus "The Virus" Grissom. He made the movie. Nicholas (sp?) Cage did a really great job as Cameron Poe, too. And whoever (I think it was Nick Chinlund (sp?)) was... Full review

Guaranteed to be a success, Con Air offers star-power and action in a package full of integrity. We know from the beginning that our hero will overcome the odds, but that doesnt stop us enjoying the ride with Con Air, with its swag of fast lines, evil delivery and fantastic big bangs. ...

Well, Con Air is pretty much that, only that it's way better than it sounds. Director Simon West brought Con Air to theaters back in 1997 (wow, that's almost 10 years ago now... ... Full Review

You just never mind all of that, and enjoy one great action movie. " Con Air " is nothing more than a fun popcorn action film. Fun, empty-headed action film. Malkovich is comfortable in yet another role as a quiet, meditative criminal mastermind. ... Full Review

you probably remember 1997's awful Con Air .....There are much better action movies and much better movies featuring Malkovich, Buscemi and Cage.....Con Air is one of those forgettable, and even insulting, action movies.....Buena Vista Studios opened the vault to assemble an even worse cut of the movie.....The late 1990s were not a good time for action movies..... ...

That's a good movie!...." OK OK, I like that awful freakin' song, too!....Fans of the flick would surely rejoice given such riches..... ... Full Review
