Customer Reviews of Con Air [Region 2]
Con Air Nicolas Cage can play a southern boy real good... He can be kind and tough at the same time....
"Welcome to Con Air"
...John Malkovich's character (Cyrus the Virus) announces after taking over a state of the art prisoner transport plane. This and many other lines help make Cyrus one of the most charismatic and lovable convicts I've seen in a long time (he is the bad guy in the movie though, but I can't help but like him). There is tons of other great characters in this movie as well, many of them covicts. Nicholas Cage, John Cusack, Steve Buscemi, David Chapelle, and Ving Rhames are all solid as usual.

>Yes this is standard Jerry Bruckheimer action fare, but that's not a bad thing. It's a movie made to entertain and that's it. There is loads of comic relief and pleasantly cheesy dialogue that helps to make sure you don't take the film too seriously. As mentioned by others the Unrated Extended Edition DVD has absolutely no special features, which is a little disappointing, but the movie by itself is worth the price regardless.
I expected more
Maybe my expectations were a little high. I never saw this movie in the theaters so I recently watched this extended edition on DVD. Nicholas Cage has a terrible southern accent throughout the movie - why - I'm not sure as his character doesn't need to be from the south. And I thought the law enforcement was a bit over the top with the macho, kill everyone, innocents be damn attitude and in fighting. There was a lot a action but most of the time I thought it was just stupid. For example, an under cover cop posing as a con had a concealed gun and the second he was released he pulled it out instead of waiting until he could get the ring leader who had the only other gun. Overall I was disappointed in this movie.
