地面的联邦部队决定把飞机打下，把狂徒一网打尽，身陷险境的卡麦伦该逃出这个空中监狱？
Con-Air's story is that of great potential. If directed by a well known director from that time that has a nack for violent prison action movies, this could have been an instant classic. Even though that didn't happen, I can take confort in the fact that it's still an enjoyable action movie, no matter what faults it may have-because it DOES have faults. However, I can't help but giving it a high score due to the fact that I actually loved every minute of it.
Simon West's(The General's Daughter, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider), Con-Air tells the story of Cameron Po(Nicholas Cage), a newly-released ex-con who was convicted of man-slaughter after killing a few drunken sc*ms who were harassing his wife, Tricia(Monnica Potter). He soon finds himself between a rock and a hard place when the group of murderous prisoners on his transport plane take over, including Cyrus 'The Virus' Grissom(John Malcovitch), Nathan 'Diamond Dog' Jones(Ving Rhames), and Will 'Bill Bedlam' Bedford(Nick Chinlund). Po decides to stay on the plane when he could have gotten off, posing as a 15-year inmate rather than a newly released one, in order to protect fellow inmate Mike O'Dell(Mykelti Williamson) and Guard Sally Bishop(Rachel Ticotin).
Po manages to secretly keep in contact with U.S. Marshall Vince Larken(John Cusack) on the ground who is trying desperately to track the plane while hot-tempered DEA Agent Duncan Malloy(Colm Meaney) wants to just shoot it down and be done with it. What insues is an exciting journey that leads all the way to Las Vegas in a final action-packed stand-off.
Con-Air's major fault is its lack of seriousness. Sure, there's touching moments of sincerity between Po and his wife and daughter, but those seem too forced, as if West felt like he needed to inlude some form of a love story in this action filled story. However, the film manages to keep you interested and when moments of heart-warmth are introduced, while feeling some what awkward, they are quickly passed off by viewers who are too invested in the movie to care if there is a love story underneath it all. In other words, the movie's so damn entertaining, you don't care if Po and his wife share a passionate scene of tears with the song "How Do I Live" playing in the background.
The mentioned lack of seriousness comes from a clear disrepect for human life and public property, which it won a Razzie Award for. It's non-believable outcomes of destruction and mayhem cement its action movie reputation. SPOILER WARNING: In a spectacle of chaos, the "Con-Air" plane is crash landing and finally comes to a screeching halt only after devastating a Las Vegas strip. It's this blatant disrespect for human lives and city buildings that make the film very far-fetched...but oh so sweet. You can't help but like it, because it's clearly meant for entertainment purposes only. There's also some slo-mo running sequences that make you think "this is cheesy," but it does not matter in the end, for the film is over ten years old and manages to keep a certain feel throughout the whole movie, and that feel is "don't take it too seriously, just enjoy the amazing action sequences."
The over all story of prisoners taking over the plane is a great idea. It could have been presented better, but it's always fun to watch a group of murderous psychos steal the show, especially when played by such talent. |
