Good action but Nicolas Cage is disappointing

Rating: 7/10 (2 June 2010)

Having just watched Con Air I think the film was everything that I expected there were several good performances, John Malkovich and John Cusack stand out, but Steve Buscemi is also good.
There is also a lot of action which is beautifully directed and gets the adrenaline rushing, the only disappoint was in my view the performance by Nicolas Cage, however this did not particularly surprise me as I am yet to be impressed by his acting. Tell me a person who speaks with a stupid accent thats hard to understand and shows next to no emotion is a good actor? Well loads of people seem to think so, I believe while Nic Cage isn't a bad actor he just seems to be very average and overrated by the mass population.
However having such a poor lead did not ruin my enjoyment of the film, it just made the emotional speeches drag on a bit as I didn't feel anything for what he was saying.
So in conclusion if you like a fast-pace action film with more twists and turns than the spaghetti junction and good supporting actors then watch this, if you want to see a fantastic lead performance don't.
