Put the bunny back in the box--NOW.

Rating: 8/10 (20 July 1999)

I must say, after flopping down in a rather comfy couch and inhaling two bags of Pizza Rolls, I have never enjoyed two hours of my life more than the day a bunch of relatives sat in my uncle's home theater and watched Con Air. Sure, no plot, but who cares? It's an action movie! Action movies don't have plot! They have character development but NO STORY! So alla you prudes quit whining about how action movies insult one's intelligence! They're not meant to be any slant of "intelligent!" They're mindless, simple fun where you watch stuff blow up. Anyways... Con Air is a good, but not GREAT action flick that has Nicholas Cage (one of my favorite actors) as Forrest Gump on steroids. Perfect insane guy John Malkovich plays perfect insane guy Cyrus "the Virus" Grissom, the film's beautifully deranged villain. If you want action and you're willing to shut your brain off for a while, go see Con Air. If you're unwilling, go and watch an "intelligent" action movie--if you can find one.
