Synopsis: Con Air (1997)

Synopis: Nothing makes good-guy non-recidivist offender Cameron Poe happier than the thought of returning to society, where his angelic wife and the equally angelic little girl he's never known are waiting. And nothing makes him angrier than the passel of psychopathic murderers and rapists aboard his prison transport plane--especially when, under the direction of ringleader Cyrus "The Virus" Grissom, they revolt and hijack their own plane. Fortunately, our hero's been trained by the Army as an elite one-man-fighting-machine, and a dogged Justice Department agent waits on the ground to help him bring the fanatical fly-boys in for a bloody crash landing--in Vegas! A hyperactive Molotov cocktail blended from the frenetic efforts of high-octane action producer Jerry Bruckheimer ("The Rock"), hipster-schtick screenwriting specialist Scott Rosenberg, and music video director West. Academy Award Nominations: 2, including Best Original Song ("How Do I Live"), and Best Sound.

   Con air follows the story of Cameron Poe, a paroled criminal who is taking a ride back to his wife and daughter on a plane full of madmen and murderers. And yes, you guessed it, it all goes pear-shaped. Without delving too far into the storyline, I have to stress that Con Air is not in the slightest bit realistic. You see, it is a film that should not be taken seriously, but as an action-packed thrill-ride of violence, explosions and lots & lots of criminals! This is a must-see movie for any self-respecting action fan.
   
   Everytime I watch this film it never fails to thrill me more than any film ever has done, thanks to the explosive action, the witty & clever dialogue and the fantastic storyline twists.
   
   Unfortunately, Con Air is sadly lacking in the extras department, but with a movie as great as this, who cares? ...

   Oh man...I loved this movie! I thought Nicholas' character sounded sort of cheesy and hard to take seriously with that thick accent, but, John Malkovich was divine in this movie! I was entranced by him and his character. I was actually hoping that he would live. I didn't like the gruesome and crude way they killed him off...it should've been something more clever, so it would fit his character. Also..Peter Buscemi is so great. I love him in every movie he does. Wonderful wonderful movie. Had me on the edge of my seat the WHOLE time. And, for me, the best part was when they named each convict and said what he'd done...made them look so bad ass! ...
