Oh dear.

Hopefully, one day soon, there will be a trial against Hollywood for crimes against cinema and its audience. If this happens, Con Air would most definitely be the ace up the sleeve of the prosecution. Its egregiousness is astounding, almost hypnotic.
It is the celluloid equivalent of the scene in The Simpsons where Bart writes: 'INSERT BRAIN HERE' on the back of Homer's head, Homer runs in circles, frantically trying to see the back of his own head. Marge, Bart and Lisa begin to laugh, but their laughs quickly turn to horror, discomfort and eventually pity.
How the respected actors (and Ving Rhames) managed to continue their careers after this pish is a mystery. So awful, you would have wished Michael Bay direct it.
