Con Air has the honor of being one of the silliest action movies of all time. From the letter-writing scene between Cage (with full blown Southern accent) and daughter to that godawful song played over the sappy reunion at the end, Con Air is an all-out cheesefest. A silly premise aided by an ensemble cast of good/decent actors (John Malkovich, John Cusack, Steve Buscemi, Ving Rhames) playing silly characters along with a goofy (sometimes clever) script adds up to an enjoyable yet generally substance-less viewing experience. The action scenes are convoluted, but everything about the film is convoluted. Con Air is loads of fun.
8/10
