Review of Con Air (1997) by Isabelle W — 24 Jul 2012
Con Air is an excellent over-the-top, mindless action film. The story is absolutely perfect; a prison plane full of the worse convicts imaginable is hijacked by the prisons, leaving one former Army Ranger to take back the plane and save the day.
The cast is outstanding, and includes Nicolas Cage, John Cusack, John Malkovich, Ving Rhames, and Danny Trejo; who all create colorful characters that are extremely fun to watch (especially Malkovich's Cyrus the Virus).
And, director Simon West does a great job at delivering big action scenes with giant explosions and exciting chases. Con Air has its problems, but it's outrageously fun and delivers an adrenaline packed ride that can't be beat.
