One of the Best Comedies of 1997!!!

Rating: Null/10 (30 May 2001)

This has got to be Nicolas Cage's funniest film! A laugh riot from beginning to end, "Con Air" has everything a funny movie should have: a ridiculous plot, cartoonish characters, silly dialogue, and unbelievable situations!
Cage's "Southern accent" is a hoot and his performance as a slow-talking sleepy-eyed soldier wrongfully imprisoned is hysterical! John Malkovich and Steve Buscemi try to outdo each other imitating Anthony Hopkins and Christopher Walken. Watch this one on DVD if you want non-stop laughs (yes, there's a few dramatic parts, but those are easy to spot because of the slow motion)!
Jerry Bruckheimer knows how to make a funny film - this one easily tops his other comedies "The Rock" and "Gone in 60 Seconds" !!
