Steve Buscemi Steals The Show In Classic 1990's Action Flick

Rating: 9/10 (22 January 2015)

People say a lot of negative things about Jerry Bruckheimer, however the man does know how to produce a solid action flick. Movies like "Armageddon", "Bad Boys", The Rock" and "Con Air" are all superb action movies of the highest calibre.
Plot in A Paragraph: Cameron Poe, a United States Army Ranger, came home to Alabama, only to get in to a drunken brawl defending his pregnant wife from some drunks. Cameron kills one of the drunks and is sent to a federal penitentiary for involuntary manslaughter for seven years. Years later Cameron is released on parole and can now go home to his wife and daughter. Unfortunately, Cameron has is on a prison airplane with some of the country's most dangerous criminals, including Cyrus "The Virus" Grissom, who take control of the plane and are now planning to escape the country. Cameron has to find a way to stop them, Meanwhile, United States Marshal Vincent Larkin is trying to help Cameron and stop a DEA agent shooting the plane down.
Nicolas Cage (who was delivered some ropey performances to say the least over the years) is at his best here, John Cusack is excellent as Vince Larkin and John Malkovich is as usual excellent self as the main villain Cyrus The Virus.
Ving Rhames (who never disappoints) offers solid support as Diamond Dog, likewise Danny Trejo. Colm Rainey is effectively annoying, while Mykleti Williamson, Dave Chapelle and Rachel Ticotin are all good in supporting roles. Renoly Santiago is a lot of fun,
However it is Steve Buescemi who completely steals the show as Garland Greene.
I also need to mention the song "How Do I Live" which I didn't stop singing when this movie was released, and usually is stuck in my head for a while every time I watch it.
