Con Air

Pros: Great cast; very funny moments; innocent action
Cons: Goes over the top sometimes; a few cliche and excessively violent moments.

I think there's only one way to make an action film successful, and that is to not present the story as something to take seriously and to incorporate a sense of satire. In its most basic form, "Con Air" is just as mindless and over-the-top as every ...

Pros: great effects, big-name cast, lots of explosions
Cons: surprisingly, Nicolas Cage in some parts

This is the story of Cameron Poe (Nicolas Cage), a caring family man with a beautiful wife and daughter…who has just been paroled after ten year in prison for murder. Cameron has never seen his daughter since his wife was pregnant at the time he was ...

Pros: Does as promised
Cons: Fellini it is not

If you're one of those guys who take a movie like Con Air so seriously, then you need to pull the stick out of your butt and just stare blankly at the screen for the next two hours. Con Air is precisely the kind of cornball fare that rolls into movie ...

Pros: All of the actors, the story, and the action
Cons: Cons? This movie is full of them ;)

The year was 1997, and Nicolas Cage had just come off the success of his first action movie The Rock . It appeared that he could make the move from comedy movies over to action movies, and Simon West casted him to do just that in Con Air. With ...

Pros: A fun comic book movie that doesn't pretend to be anything else.
Cons: Fairly paint-by-numbers plot.

If one thinks of a movie that was not based directly on a comic book, yet knew that it was comic book in nature, the first one to come to mind is Con Air. This 1997 action gem is pulpy all the way through and does not apologize for it.

Pros: Action packed roller coaster ride with a crash landing, Pretentious thriller
Cons: Stereotypical characters, Sketchy plot, Too long

Probably the most appealing feature of the 1997 film Con Air is it's purposeful pretentiousness. It's clear from the very beginning that this film is not to be taken seriously. As a consequence many of it's most glaring flaws, including the...

Pros: Nicholas Cage; lots of action; good special effects.
Cons: John Malkovich; ridiculous one-liners by Cage at times.

Con Air is an action packed movie that is well worth seeing. Even though the plot is weak the action will take you through. I'm not a John Malkovich fan and there is a lot of violence in the movie. There are also a lot of one-liners that are thrown...

Pros: A great cast, great effects
Cons: stupid stupid stupid plot

For a movie with a superb cast, this movie didn't accomplish all that it could.

First off, they got Steve Buscemi, which makes the movie great, let alone the fact that he is playing a psychological killer named Garland "The Marietta Mangler"...

Pros: Perfect Action/Summer flick.
Cons: Sometimes it gets hard to believe.(Its a summer movie)

Con Air (starring Nicholas Cage, John Malkovich and John Cusack)is like a lot of summer films, such as The Rock. What makes Con Air shine is the cast of criminals led by John Malkovich.
Cyrus "The Virus Grissom" (Malkovich) leads a convict takeover...

Pros: Nicholas Cage buffed up...oh boy!
Cons: I don't like the southern accent Nicholas Cage uses, sounds false.

I loved this movie! This movie is so good at portraying the ruthlessness of some of the world's most dangerous criminals. The actors in this movie were very believable. I would not be a bit surprised to see them in an institution.

Pros: action, comedy, psychopaths-on-a-plane.
Cons: none.

This film starts off in a small town in alabama, where Cameron Poe (Nicholas cage) has just come back from the army to meet his pregnant wife (Monica potter), but he was in the wrong place at the wrong time and when a group of drunks fight him, one of...

Pros: good action, decent acting for an action flick
Cons: somewhat predictable

Con Air is an action movie that doesn't treat it's audience as mindless captors for two hours. Instead, it rises above the standard action movie "fare" with an excellent mix of comic relief, action, and some delicious acting jobs.

...

Pros: No need to concentrate!
Cons: Why does EVERYTHING go right?

Nicolas Cage. Sometimes he plays the geek (The Rock) and sometimes he pays the rippling-muscle superhero who just won't go down (Con Air). I usually am extremely critical about films just because I end up dissecting them, but after having watched Con Air...

Pros: great acting by cage,malkovich and co.
Cons: who the hell is the camera man?

Con Air,seen as follow up to the rock.
Well must be a damn good movie if its supposed to be better then the rock.Nicolas Cage returned for a second time working with bruckheimer.Connery didn't.
So who else is in the cast?
Ving Rhames,and...

Pros: Fast Paced Action
Cons: Nicholas Cage Accent

Volatile gas “hiss” posing a threat as a ticking time bomb. Gunfire suddenly erupts in all direction. It’s a fight between cops and robbers. Explosions set off another explosion like dominoes. “This is your captain speaking…thank you for choosing Con...
