Summary: An Extraordinary Dumbfest
Review: This film is beyond dumb; it is stupefying; it features what is perhaps the worst performance by an already overrated actor, Nick Cage (who does his tank-topped best to make us forget how awful he was in "Firebirds"); watch the thing for Steve Buscemi; no, don't; I like Steve Buscemi; but let's enjoy him in a literate film like "Fargo"; now, down to business -- "Con Air" is the good old prison break movie recycled to include every known psycho and psychotic type jammed into a cargo plane and headed for Disney World where they will barbecue Goofy and Minnie . . . ooops, wrong movie; scratch the Disney World stuff; anyway, Psychos-R-Us are airborne when wham! everything falls apart and the world as we know it is about to end 'cause John Malkovich as head psycho figures he's going to reroute his sicko crew to "Armageddon" where they will kill off Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck (for acting without expression) and let the "good hands" comet destroy earth; nope, that's not it; OK, OK, OK, these cons are up to less than no good, they land the plane on a cheap desert set where John Cusack (who is years away from "Being John Malkovitch") single-handedly routs them with a stolen Corvette until the cavalry shows up and everyone dies; I fell asleep often while watching this film; I think that's helpful. I woke up happy.

Summary: A Bit Misleading
Review: I purchased this movie two months ago expecting it to detail a new hair dryer model from the popular maker of hair manipualtion appliances. What I actually recieved was an utter disappointement. It has nothing to do with hair dryers, but rather tells the story of a group of CONvicts who overtake an AIRplane transferring them to another prison--hence the misleading name of the movie. While I must admit that the movie was filled with suspense, and was actually quite enjoyable--Nicholas Cage is a terrific actor--it was nothing I would have knowingly purchased. So beware--If you are expecting a DVD about hairdryers, do not buy this. However, if you are looking for an action-packed thriller, this is for you.

Summary: One of my all time favorites!
Review: I love adventure/action movies, and this MORE than delivers! Surprisingly, this film has some humorous moments.
I have been a fan of Nick Gage for some time now, and this is one of his best.
I think Rachael Ticotin is a very, very fine actress that just isn't seen in enough movies!

Summary: I love action movies and this one has action
Review: Con air may have a mega stupid plot that proably would never happen, but how many action movies can actully happen to that extreme. The actors definatly make it a better movie. I wanted some more extras on the DVD though, it was rather sparse in that aspect.

Summary: Not great, but a good guilty pleasure.
Review: You will HATE yourself for watching this movie after it is over. And I mean hate. This movie is big, dumb, loud, and trite. But it's a true guilty pleasure that'll keep you entertained all the way through. Nic Cage has proven to be a good actor in the past, but his Forest Gumpesque accent in this movie makes him sound like a retarded cowboy. He looks tired in every single scene and tends to drag down whatever realism is left over. However, the rest of the actors in the film are very good. John Malcovick oozes evil and is a very good calm-bad guy. John Cusack also resonates well, as does Ving Rhames and Steve Buscemi. In fact, Buscemi eats the entire movie in every single scene he is in. He's menacing in a very sweet way, if that's at all possible. Plot also doesn't have much to do with the movie. It's a reason to give a lot of gunshots, blood-squirts, and explosions. I really have never seen some of the so called "plot-twists" that my fellow reviewers said this film contains, but once again, plot doesn't matter in a movie like this. Simon West's direction is routine at best and never truly moves into anything original at all. Go watch The General's Daughter if you want to see a better film by West. Despite all of these horrible aspects of the film, Con Air is extremely entertaining in a juvenile way. West and Co. blow up things real good and the supporting cast makes for some entertaining lines. While I'm talking about lines, let me just say the whole "Bunny" subplot is perhaps the dumbest thing I have ever seen in a modern action movie. Every time the bunny makes an appearance on screen, I cringe. But like I said, the movie is just so damn entertaining that every bad thing in it is overshadowed. The pacing is great, and that is truly what saves this movie from being just horrible. This movie is bad... very bad, but you will surely be entertained, even though you'll want to hurt yourself for liking it so much.

Summary: Can we say, UNREALISTIC??
Review: Cage is transformed into an invincible killing machine only after he attended the Marines. He is so unstoppable, not even bullets can flinch him. I would like to ask aeronautic engineers if there is a plane like the one in ConAir. If there really is, my goodness, we could wipe out an entire country with this one plane. I don't think even bombs could scratch it. I know movies exaggerate reality, but there has to be SOME limits drawn. The plane took a beating and kept on going, and Cage was virtually a Superman.

Summary: Pretty Good Movie, but is has its flaws
Review: "Welcome to Con Air," Cameron Poe, a former soldier who is convicted of killing a man in a brawl while protecting his wife is going home on a prisoner plane. With some bad news. A professional killer who escaped twice and made a deal with drug lords, a black radcial who made many invasions on white groups, a crazy man who rapes women too much (which I find it very sickening), and a troubled insane butcher (which I also find sickening) who hijack the plane and cause trouble for the law. It's up to the mind of Cameron Poe who cooperates with Vince Larkin, a federal agent who owns the plane and wants it back. Cameron Poe does what it takes by befriending with the most evil convict, Cyrus The Virus, giving away the plane's location to the authorities, and kicking the bad guy's @$$. Minus one star for story. Why would the authorities be so stupid enough to put every smart and insane convict in one plane which causes them to team up and hijack the plane? But hey, this is cool aerial action. If you want to see another movie like this, check out Air Force One.

Summary: Boring
Review: I watched parts of it. One of my roomates was in a zombie stare watching it or the wall behind the tv? My other roomate said it was a great movie. I thought it was a boring mix of formulas. Same good guy/bad guy stuff and really dull. I like action movies like T1 & T2 and Matrix and Mad Max I and some of the Leathal Wepon movies but this was just another run of the mill no-brainer no-fun movie.
