Review of Con Air (1997) by Zach M — 06 Feb 2012
This is a great brainless action from the Bruckheimer cannon.
With such a great cast how can you go wrong: Nicolas Cage, John Malkovich, Ving Rhames, Dave Chapelle, Steve Buscemi, John Cusack, Colm Meaney, Mykelti Williamson, Rachel Ticotin, M.C. Gainey, Danny Trejo, Monica Potter, Angela Featherstone and ex- hockey player Marty McSorley.
Cage goes to prison for killing someone. When he's released he catches a ride home on con air. Unfortunately for him the other prisoners hijack the plane so does everything he can to stop them and get home to finally meet his daughter.
Tons of action with a smidge of drama for setup material.
Simon West really just tries to cram as much action as possible into each frame without disorienting us.
