A brilliant film with action throughout

Rating: 10/10 (19 February 2003)

'Con Air' is one of those movies where, no matter how many times you've seen it before, you still find it very entertaining. It's not like a murder film where once you've seen it, you know who did the murder and it wrecks it, because you already know that the good guys are going to win at the end.
I've looked long and hard to find a film where there is action all the way through with a really good storyline, and although a bit unrealistic, 'Con Air' certainly does have them. Obviously it's not the only one, but I find that with films like 'Lethal Weapon', although it's another good film, it takes a while for the action to start.
The film is about a man, Cameron Poe (Nicolas Cage) who was imprisoned for manslaughter, When he is released, he flies home on a plane with a group of criminals and terrorists who take control of the plane. It's up to Poe to regain control, and make sure the bad guys don't escape... and he does just that... except for one man!! It does have some funny bits in it which all add to making it a good film.
I've never found another film as enjoyable as 'Con Air' and I doubt I ever will. If you haven't seen it, SEE IT!!
