Con Air
Watched this last night on bluray and it was a joy to watch. The PQ on the bluray was very good and the film still holds up even after so many years.
Having seen The Rock not so long ago, I prefer this movie as it has a better cast and also I thought that it has more action in it.
Good roles from Malkovich, Buscemi, Cusack and Cage.
One of the better action movies of the 90s.
Anyone else like this film?

Yeah, I personally think Con Air is one of Cage's better films from around that time, including The Rock and Face/off.

I'm with you on the order of those films. All great films mind you.
I'd also like to give the PCM soundtrack on Con Air a big up.

Re: Con Air
I'd say Con Air is the only Cage film I could watch more than once, his wooden monotone style fits Cameron Poe quite well but in anything else just bores me to tears.

Re: Con Air
Have this sitting in my Cart over at Amazon.com at the moment.
Personally I think it's a great blast and one of my fave (of the few that I like since i'm no great fan of his) Nic Cage films.

Re: Con Air
It is without a doubt Cage's best movie to date.
In fact it's the only other movie i liked him in apart from Knowing & Face Off.
