Just Quality Fun

Rating: 8/10 (17 January 2005)

A really good action flick that is better than average.
Cameron Poe (Cage) an unjustly in-prisoned Army Ranger, spends the first years of his daughters life behind bars, only to find himself catching a flight to freedom aboard Con Air. In typical hero fashion Poe (unable to leave a man down) has to kill all the bad guys and 'save the f***ing day'.
OK so its typical Hollywood gung-ho action, but its great entertainment and really does have some fine characters (Malkovich) undoubtedly steals the show with another excellent performance.
Just unplug you mind, turn up the volume, turn out the lights and watch the good guys triumph against all odds in true Hollywood style.
Brilliant fun, when you're in the mood.
8/10
