Con Air - I despair

Rating: 2/10 (24 January 1999)

Dear reader, please don't believe any of the rubbish you'll read above this message. No don't get me wrong, I didn't sit down to this movie expecting Shakespeare - I wanted an entertaining action movie. And while this movie is big on action, the script is one of the most horrendous I have ever had to sit through, and that's saying a lot. Apart from the logical inconsistencies which we all expect, the worst part of it is the shocking dialog. The jokes aren't funny (and I was watching this with some pretty dumb people and no-one laughed), and in a lot of places, the dialog is just weird.
Nicolas Cage is awful in this one, as are most of the other 'good guy' characters. The one highlight was Steve Buscemi who is wasted on this movie.
