crazy, fun & wild!

Rating: 10/10 (21 August 2005)

Initially i decided to give this movie a go as it starred both Nicholas Cage and John Cusack, now there's 2 kick ass actors already. Seeing as there were a lot of characters involved i expected some to lack quality, as a lot of films do this, but i was pleasantly surprised when i watched it to find out that ALL the characters (not just the prisoners) were well characterised, original and entertaining. Although this movie doesn't have a very obvious 'deep' meaning or moral, its one of the best films i've seen. If you are into car/plane chases, lots of explosions, shooting etc then this is a must see movie.
This film also contained a lot of humorous moments, i think i probably found Vince Larkin (John Cusack) and Agent Malloy the funniest together, but its a hard one to call! After the plane had finally 'landed' in Las Vegas i was preparing for a slower ending, although this would have been good still, i was so happy that they had included a very entertaining car chase, then you've got your 3 minute reunion with Cameron Poe (Nicholas Cage) and his family. Followed by the prisoners names which i thought was a cool idea! This film is packed with action, fun ideas, a great soundtrack, nifty lines, humour and a nice plot that isn't over enthusised for its type. All in all this film was fantastic throughout and so deserves a 10/10.
