The only way to fly!

Rating: Null/10 (17 August 1999)

Sorry, no complimentary bag of peanuts on this flight, folks!! Nicholas Cage does a great Rambo impression on this adrenaline-pumped film with cool stunts, frightening pyrotechniques, and awesome performances, especially those of Cage, John Malkovich (playing his trademark character, a demented psycho!), Monica Potter, and John Cusack, who jumps to the level of action hero in this film, which is basically new for the guy. "Con-Air" is an awesome movie to watch when you're in the mood for an edge-of-your-seat action flick, that is, if you're tired of watching Schwarzeneggar or Stallone do their usual thing!!! I've got one question about this movie that still fries my brain whenever I try to figure it out: just why the hell does Cusack wear sandals to work? He plays a U.S. Marshal, for God's sake! I don't think sandals are appropriate footwear whenever you're chasing down bloodthirsty criminals!!
