A Brilliant Action-Thriller!

Rating: 10/10 (28 May 2013)

Simon West's 'Con Air' has aged well. When I saw it for the first time, almost a decade ago, I loved it, and now, whenever I end up watching it, I just get more & more involved. A Brilliant Action-Thriller, that great delivers entertainment!
'Con Air' Synopsis: A newly released ex-con and former US Ranger finds himself trapped in a prisoner transport plane when the passengers seize control.
'Con Air' catches you from the word GO. The narrative completely grasps you & keeps the momentum alive till the very end. Scott Rosenberg's Screenplay is arresting & powerful. Simon West's Direction is technically appropriate. Cinematography, Editing & Art Design, are top-class.
Performance-Wise: Nicolas Cage is fantastic, as always. He steals the show! John Cusack is dependable. John Malkovich is ruthless, while Steve Buscemi never disappoints. Ving Rhames is first-rate. Nick Chinlund is passable. Colm Meaney & M. C. Gainey are adequate.
On the whole, 'Con Air' is One Cinematic Experience!
