| If Cameron Poe, Nick Cage's character in Con Air, had had a better lawyer
at his trial, then it would have saved us all a lot of grief. Somehow, his
attorney (A rare appearance by Lionel Hutz outside of The Simpsons,
perhaps?) convinces him to plea...more |

| Every summer Hollywood rolls out the latest batch of mega-movies, upping
the ante each year with better special effects and bigger explosions.
After months of promotional bombardment, we dutifully trot to the
theaters, becoming more jaded with each...more |

| I have to admit, I'm always wary of big budget, "blockbusters". From
the previews, "Con Air" did look a little too polished. However,
mainly because of the star power, I went, and I'm glad I did. But

| The titles change, but the rest is the same. Summer action
movies have become a staple of modern cinema, and CON-AIR does
little to distinguish itself from the rest. It's got a lot of low-brow
entertainment in the form of violence, explosions and bad...more |

| There's a detail near the end of "Con Air" that epitomizes
everything that's right and wrong with the movie. The bad guys have crash
landed their plane on the Las Vegas Strip, and some of them commandeer a
fire truck to make good their escape. U.S....more |

| Here we have another trashy Jerry Bruckheimer film. And to be honest, it's
very dull, and not too exciting. This is not because there are no explosions
and stunts, it's just the fact that we've seen it all before! more |

| At first I thought 'Con Air' would be just another mindless action picture
filled with explosions, shootings, brawls and just about everything including
the kitchen sink but it has much more under the surface in its technique,
style and execution....more |

| Con Air is the first production of Jerry Bruckheimer's without the late Don
Simpson. Con Air also brings Nicolas Cage back to work with Bruckheimer again.

| When the Bruckheimer/Simpson team brought Crimson Tide to the screen
back in 1995, I was incredibly surprised. I had previously associated
the duo with such popcorn successes as Top Gun and Days of Thunder.

| When talking about summer films, it's a cliche to suggest that the
audience leave their brains at home because the movie is all action and
fun but low on thought. There's a reason why some phrases become
overworked. They're true. more |
