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: 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: 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 ...
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: 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: John Cusack and Nicolas Cage Cons: Everything and everyone else.
My favorite part of ConAir was the flying car. Seems that the DEA's Agent in Charge had little else on his mind except getting home to drive his car. That's how he struck me after a dozen different attempts to shoot down the plane in ConAir.
Pros: So ridiculous it entertains Cons: Conned by "Con Air"
Ah, where to begin..."Con Air" starring Nicholas Cage and John Malkovitch is a huge, lumbering crime/suspense movie filled with larger-than-life lowlifes, cascades of crashing metal objects, and some nasty character clashes as the protagonist,...
Pros: Action, Characters, Story line Cons: Predictable at times
Alabaman Cameron Poe, played by Nicolas Cage, gets home from being discharged from the US Army Rangers to have a dance with his pregnant wife. His wife works in a bar in Mobile, AL, and gets hit on by a "regular" and insults him and the...
Pros: Great action and suspense flick... Cons: May be too intense for certain audiences...
This tongue-in-cheek action flick takes a planeload of guys you love to hate, sticks one tarnished angel in for good measure, then places them in a desperate situation where they have to deal with an unscrupulous social institution to escape with their...
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: Cast, stunts, scenery, soundtrack Cons: The ending-- I would have liked to know more about Cameron
Cameron Poe (Nicholas Cage) just got out of the Army (Rangers, to be precise) when he ran into a touch of bad luck. While defending his wife (Monica Potter) in a drunken bar brawl, Cameron accidentally kills one of the three attackers with his bare...
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: Good action, things explode, great cast for an action film. Cons: Not much.
Wow what a Wham Bam action film, in fact the most wham and the most bammed that I have seen for a long time. Although allot of the plot of the film may seem stupid, unbelievable and outrageous it is an entertaining festival of action.
Pros: action, explosions, one-liners, and a nice trip to vegas Cons: nothing
I love this movie. I have a few movies that I enjoy just for the pure fun and rush involved, part of the reason why I love James Bond flicks, this
being one of those movies. If you are looking for perfect one-liners, tons of action, and lots and...
From the hit-making producer of The Rock and Crimson Tide comes the hard-hitting blockbuster Con Air-starring Academy Award&-winner Nicolas Cage (Face...More at Buy.com Marketplaces
