Con Air

After serving eight years for manslaughter, former Army Ranger Cameron Poe is on his way home to his wife and the daughter he's never met when his prison transfer plane is hijacked by the criminals onboard. It's just that simple. Con Air, if you didn't already know, is a sensational action movie from the late 90s. Nicolas Cage and his ridiculous accent are backed up by a murderer's row of talented character actors, including: John Cusack, John Malkovich, Steve Buscemi, Ving Rhames, Colm Meaney, Dave Chappelle and Danny Trejo. The movie is expertly constructed and moves at a brisk pace. The action scenes are well done and there's enough humor in the movie to keep it from being too serious. The funniest part might be that, by the end, the movie has you rooting for Steve Buscemi's character, a notoriously brutal serial killer.
