Con Air | Year: 1997 Classification: Action Country: USA Directed: - Simon West Actors/Actresses: - Steve Buscemi - Nicolas Cage - John Cusack - Angela Featherstone - Doug Hutchison - Monica Potter - Ving Rhames - John Malkovich "I'll show you God does exist!" Cage is a ex ranger, busted for protecting his girlfriend. Now, a bunch of crinminals is being transfered in a plane, called "Jailbird" and Poe takes a ride. Only he is on his way home, when Cyrus the Virus (Malkovich) and his buddies (Vingh Rhames, Steve Buscemi..) take over the plane in an attempt to retain their freedom. Chasing the bird are John Cusack as U.S. Marshal Larkin and a D.E.A agent, portrayed by Colm Meany. Sounds like the plot of a cheap B-Movie? Well, it is! And guess what... Poe's girlfriend is having a baby which is being born while he's in prison. Why do I give this movie 4 stars??? Because in action movies,you can compensate the lack of plot with spectacular, eye-popping action sequences and fine actors who help making the story believable.Nick Cage is playing pretty much the coolest guy on the planet, which sometimes seems a little ridiculous and John Malkovich, what do I need to say? He is the perfect cast for the bad guy because he plays his roles so theatrical, which does give the movie something fresh. The rest of the cast is perfect and espescially Buscemi, psycho as usual, has some of the funniest scenes of the movie. After the fight the action continues to the most electrifying crash landing I've seen as the Jailbird lands. Mark Mancinaand Trevor Rabin composed an energy-packed music score which never lets go and LeAnne Rimes' "How do I live" is one of the most beautiful songs to appear in a happy end of a movie.Dianne Warren has written it and even got an Academy Award nomination for it... So fasten your seatbelts, turn off your thinking and enjoy the ride. Cause that what it's all about. A fun ride! The Third Best Movie of all time!!! This is one of my top 13 films of all time and it's also the best Action film ever made! thanks to Jerry Bruckheimer. Cameron Poe ( Nicolas Cage) is a Solider who gets sent to prison for manslaughter and 10 years later, he is coming home to see his wife and daughter. He hops up in a airplane called " Con Air" and now it's being held hostage by Cyrus The Virus ( John Malkovic) who demands that the plane will fly all the way to Las Vegas and have everything his way. It's a Great, perfect and Kick-A#$ ride that is one of the best films i've seen in my existnace with ID4, The Fifth Element, Matrix and so many others. You Won't be Disappointed and it's a must own for hard core action lovers and for those looking for a good time. Recommendations: The Matrix, Total Recall, Commando, In The Army Now, The Rock, Die Hard trilogy, Independence Day, Armageddon, and Terminator 2. As Believable As Finding Out "Snow White" Is A True Story This movie is about as believable as finding that "Snow White" was based on a true story...this movie is so ridiculously stupid that I gave one star. First of all, if Nicolas Cage's character killed someone in self-defense, there'd be no trial, he wouldn't be charged. Second, JOHN MALKOVICH AS A VIOLENT, MULTIPLE FELON? WHO DID HE BEAT FOR THE PART...STEVE URKEL? Then there's John Cusak trying desperately hard to show us that he can act...that he's still got it...but HE NEVER HAD IT! BELIEVE ME, IF THESE FELONS COULD FIGURE A WAY TO TAKE CONTROL OF A PRISON TRANSPORT PLANE USING A PAPER CLIP AND A MATCH, THEY WOULDN'T BE IN COUNTY LOCK UP, THEY'D BE RUNNING THE WORLD. Most of the directing shots are tilted and herendous, the acting is stupid (with Cage's phoney Southern accent), and the fact that Malkovich conviently lands on a conveyer belt that ends up crushing his head is way too unrealistic...ANOTHER THING, MALKOVICH IS ABOUT AS BRUTAL IN THE FILM AS IS WATCHING HIM ACT!
