Summary: Heart pounding & intense
Review: This movie had some of the best action sequences ever. Nicholas Cage is great and john malkovich is great for his role of Sirus"The Virus". So when your at the video store looking for action flicks I suggest you pick up CON AIR. If you enjoy this movie you should also get (FACE OFF).

Summary: Good, and funny
Review: It's explosive and funny. I really liked this one. Definetely recommended along with these: Broken Arrow, The World Is Not Enough(007, James Bond), Face/Off, The Rock, Terminator 2 and the 1st, just for some of the action lovers, great movies, I thought the Matrix was the worst film of 1999(not counting Titanic), whoever said that was good, give me a break! But let's get back to ConAir, it's awesome and fun. two simple words, k. Cage serves his time in prison for 10 years then gets stuck going home with convicted murderers who seize control of the plane, taking all the officers hostages, and killing the pilots, one of the major criminals is Malcovich and the other is Ving Rhaemes(also in Entrapment, Out Of Sight and Pulp Fiction). John Cusak is an officer. Good movie and full of entertainment, TWO THUMBS UP!!!! Not the greatest though, but good!

Summary: High Octane action!!!!!!!
Review: Jerry Bruckheimer had to go it alone on this one after his producing partner Don Simpson passed away, but he pulls it off nicely here, Con-Air is a very fast-paced action movie with Nicolas Cage as a paroled inmate who gets caught up in a series of mishaps aboard a cargo plane transporting vicious criminals who seize it after pulling the element of surprise on the guards, John Malkovich (looking somewhat like Stone Cold Steve Austin) leads the attack, & creates a fearful villian in which Cage must decieve into believing that he to is in on the act, when in reality he is thinking of ways to save the innocent passengers, John Cusack is the federal marshall who must keep calm as he & several DEA agents think of ways to bring the plane to safety, this film has many neat action set-pieces that only Bruckheimer & Co. can pull off, but the most interesting part is Steve Buschemi who is later brought on board as a Hannibal Lecter-type that scares Ving Rhames mean criminal, just watching Rhames' reaction is funny, but the ultimate highlight of this film is the climatic sequence in Las Vegas, after nearly being shot down by over-zealous DEA agents, the plane soon heads toward the Las Vegas strip in a scene that has to be seen to be believed, it almost reminds you of the film "SPEED". Everyone plays ther roles to perfection, it may be somewhat overblown in its attempt to create action, but it definately delivers the action, that has a feel-good ending.

Summary: Welcome to Con Air!
Review: Jerry Bruckheimer movies are always expected to have big bangs, great stunts and explosive action, and Con Air is no exception. With a great cast including Nicholas Cage, John Cusack, John Malcovich, Steve Buscemi and Ving Rhames, this action spectacular starts off with a plane full off America's deadliest criminals en route to prison. Unsurprisingly, the cons have a plan to escape and take over the plane, and Nic Cage has to try and stop the crims and get home alive. It's all very predictable and silly, but with a premise like this one, you're not excactly expecting Shakespeare. And this is one of those high-octane action flicks like The Rock (1995), where the relentless action set-pieces paper over the plot holes. Said action is excellent with great stunts, a sharp script and some witty one-liners from Buscemi. Then events start to get silly when we are greeted with the "let's see how much stuff we can destroy" ending in Las Vegas. Regardless, it's one of the better action films in recent years, and great fun in a non-challenging way.

Summary: One of the Great Action Flicks
Review: It seems like action movies have been appearing less and less in the last few years, and people are watching more chick flicks and "smart" films. Hollywood believes that only women watch movies anymore - but that's just not true.Us regular guys need a good action movie, and Con Air is one of the best. This film is really underrated for dead-on casting and great special effects. The great musical score and star lineup make this really stand out. Explosions, and great comedy bits make this a highly rewatchable movie. Dave Chapelle, Colm Meaney, Steve Buscemi, and M.C. Gainey steal the scenes. As far as action movies go, it's hard to find a fault with this movie. My only nitpick would be that it's hard to really believe Cage's southern accent. It easily tops other similar movies like Armageddon, Face/Off, and The Rock. You can't go wrong - watch it! Remember to look for former NHL badboy Marty McSorley - hint: he's in the cockpit.

Summary: A must own DVD for Action lovers.
Review: When i saw this great movie in 1997 at the Theaters, i was blown away and became one of my new favs. It's about Cameron Poe
( Nicolas Cage) who is sent to prison for seven years after
manslaughter and now he is boarding a Airplane full of Convicts
so he can see his Wife again, but now it's taken over by a gang of insane criminals including Cyrus Grisom ( John Malkovic)
who wants to take hostage of the plane until they can land in Las Vegas. I'm a sucker for anything by Bruckheimer and anything that includes Las Vegas in it, this movie is on my list of the best movies i 1997 with: Titanic, The Fifth Element, Men in Black, Starship Troopers, Full Monty and L.A. Confidentail. If you liked The Matrix, then you must see this movie.

Summary: Absolute garbage
Review: Lots and lots of things being blown up. That's about all I really got out of this flick. Things that are noticeably absent here: a plot and decent acting. I guess the producers figured they could cover up the bad script with cheap Hollywood stunts and gimmicks. If you have nothing better to do for two hours than be entertained by explosions and cheap thrills, then this film is for you. However, if you are in search of an intelligent film, or anything even remotely intelligent, look elsewhere.
