Hollywood Slaps itself...

Rating: 2/10 (2 June 2000)

This film is another example of Hollywood slapping a disgraceful blemish on the careers of an all-star cast. Con Air takes off with a puff of poor acting, a sputter of poorer writing, and drifts into a world designed to entertain either those consuming large amounts of alcohol, or the irretrievably stupid. Although it does contain some competent special effects and a few shining moments at the hands of John Malcovich, John Cusak, and Steve Buscemi, these brief temptations of satisfaction only make the viewer wonder why these outstanding actors chose to participate in such a foul heap of Hollywood dung. Watch it with a six pack of malt liquor, or don't watch it all.
