As you may have noticed, I’m not a huge fan of action flicks. I mean, I have nothing against those but if they are only going to show some massive set-pieces with some huge explosions, gun fighting, car chasing, I get pretty bored rather quickly. However, some of them tries to go a little further and I can definitely appreciate those. This movie is one fine example. I mean, it is far from being ... read more

I find it hard to dismiss this movie as trash, because it becomes very obvious throughout the duration of Con Air that they knew exactly what they were doing with this flick. At the end of the day it is entertaining and fun, what more could you ask from a Nic Cage action movie?

"15.2. DVD John Malkovich on iso paha nimeltä Cyrus the Virus. Haluasin nähdä dokumenttia, miten tähän päädyttiin. Pöyristyttävän huono huumori, etenkin se oletettavasti tahaton, muuntuu edukseen. Nicolas Cage mongertaa etelää. Lopputekstit muuttavat elokuvan buddy-komediaksi. Sitä ennen Steve Buscemin vekkulisarjamurhaaja pelastaa meidät korniuden yliannostukselta. Vihaan syvästi ala-asteen diskon balladeja. On tällä ysärin hömppätoiminnalla selvästi oma viehätyksensä my�"
