"The Rock"s little brother

Rating: Null/10 (27 July 2001)

CONTAINS SPOILERS!
If you are looking for a movie with no brain just for the entertainment, Con Air is the one. This movie has everything you need when you are looking for some fun: big explosions, criminal "cartoon" maniacs and funny dialogues.
I think the (many) action scenes gets even better with Trevor Rabin`s score. It really helps in this entertaining and explosive movie, of course from Jerry Bruckheimer. I don`t know when he`s going to stop making these action movies.
You have a lot of evil characters in this film. And when I say a lot, I mean a lot. You have John Malkovich as Frank Hummel 2, Steve Buscemi as Hannibal Lecter 2, and Ving Rhames as Rambo 2, and a lots of more.
And of course, in almost every Bruckheimer film, the hero of the day; Nicolas Cage, who`s trying to stop the bad guys. Not alone of course, but with a little help from John Cusack on the ground.
Of course Cusack smashes the boss`car, and the comedy tops with a male prisoner dressing up like a woman, and entertaining the other prisoners with dancing. And a couple of explosions at the end of course... in Las Vegas, of course... with a fire truck, of course... (spoiler!) The good guys win... surprise! And the good guy gets the woman, and Hannibal sets to town for gambling... sorry, I got a little out of hand there...
Overall: Bruckheimer has given us an entertaining, funny and amusing action flick, with no brain, which you can watch when you are hungry for some very funny action. But if you are really going for the serious action, you should travel one year back in time, to San Francisco, on a little island, where Big Brother lives; "The Rock".
Good luck.
