Con Airhead.

Rating: 2/10 (24 June 2015)

Con Air (1997): Dir: Simon West / Cast: Nicolas Cage, John Malkovich, John Cusack, Mykelti Williamson, Steve Buscemi: Mindless geek show compiling more disbelief than most fairy tales. Every dangerous criminal alive is being transported by plane with Cameron Poe being the hero. He served time for a drunken brawl that left someone dead, and he anticipates being released by his daughter's birthday. The criminals take over and land in the midst of a shootout. Standard setup used before in films such as The Delta Force and Executive Decision. It is so pointlessly loud that a construction crew couldn't drown it out. Concluding reference to The Silence of the Lambs is lame with its pointless cannibal character. Other stupid scenes feature a gambling machine that comes up all sevens when the plane rampaging through. Directional debut for Simon West with tremendous production and a lot of noise. Nicolas Cage holds his own in a sympathetic role but John Malkovich is basically the standard head honcho villain as Cyrus the Virus. John Cusack is limited as Poe's contact whom attempts to maintain some sort of order. Mykelti Williamson plays an inmate needing medical treatment. Steve Buscemi has the pointless Hannibal Lecter role and it should have been dropped from the script let alone the plane. Pointless and stupid chaotic noise becomes one of the dumbest action films of the year. Score: 2 ½ / 10
