Very good action movie

Rating: 10/10 (23 June 2007)

CON AIR is a very funny, good movie. I don't mean good as in top 250 standard, but good nonetheless.
Cameron Poe (Nicholas Cage) gets involved in a fight to defend his wife Trisha (Monica Potter) and is sentenced to seven years in jail. On his flight home are convicts Cyrus 'The Virus' Grisson (John Malkovich), Johnny 23, a rapist (Danny Trejo), there are also others but they're not so important. Later they pick up Garland 'The Marietta Mangler' Green (Steve Buscemi). US Marshall Vince Larkin (John Cusack) tries to intervene whilst his 'buddies' are trying to gun the plane down. That's all you really need to know.
The plane is then taken over by Cyrus and that's where it starts to go wrong. I'm not telling you the ending because that would ruin the film, but I assure you it's a good ending, and there are a few people who cry, me being one of them.
John Malkovich and Steve Buscemi both prove that they can sing, and Steve Buscemi gives by far the best performance, his facial expression barely changes and his character is the most convincing, and he is sort of a 'nice' psycho in a way. Yes, it is a slighty Lecter-inspired performance, (but who cares, Steve Buscemi is a much better actor than Anthony Hopkins). As for Cage's accent, well I'm not American, I've never been to America, and I thought it was pretty good, however I'm sure there are a lot of Americans who would beg to differ.
You don't have to understand the details. The plot is basic. Just enjoy the action and all the funny parts, and obviously Steve Buscemi. 10/10
