Nicolas Cage, John Cusak, John Malkovich and Dave Chappelle. What more could we ask for?

Rating: 9/10 (26 July 2006)

I just finished watching this film for the first time on Sky Movies. Okay this film does sound a little cheesy when you first hear about it but this film is one of the most heart pounding action film ever made. A whole gang of extremely dangerous convicts hijack an aeroplane being used to transport them to another prison. Nicolas Cage plays Cameron Poe, a now ex-convict ready to meet his daughter for the first time in his life but finds himself caught up in this nightmare with wings. I've always thought Cage is a fantastic actor but he hasn't had that many good films to show that. He is fantastic in this film although the redneck accent he puts on is annoying at first. John Malkovich; well there you're only getting better. I am a big fan of him especially in his role as Lennie in Of Mice & Men. He maintains the psychopathic mentality he has in most of his other films as Cyrus 'The Virus' Grissom, the deadliest convict on the flight.
I won't tell you anymore because you have to see this film for yourself. So go on... see it, see it, SEE IT!
