Энэ киноны тухай

America's most hardened and dangerous criminals are transported via Con Air, customized armored aircraft equipped with armed guards, hand and leg shackles, and top secret destinations that even the prisoners aren't privy to. No one has ever escaped from one of these flying fortresses---until now. In this action-packed thriller, a group of violent and deadly cons seizes control of one of the planes, taking the guards hostage and setting a course out of the country. Poe, an inmate who has done his time and is being shipped home to be reunited with his family, proves to be a fly in the ointment who battles for control of the aircraft, averting disaster and, in a thrilling climax brings the plane down safely in Las Vegas and brings the cons to justice.

I am unsure how this movie didn't sweep the 1997 academy awards, the golden globes, or the Tony's (for an absolutely outstanding rendition of 'he's got the whole world in his hands' duet performed by garland green and Debbie). This movie is one of my faves and is just a fun watch.

It's like Gone in 60 seconds, Face off, The Rock, and National Treasure One and Two all rolled and strapped into one big film that will keep you guessing until the end just like the film SALT!! How does Nicolas Cage get creative as a U.S. ranger accused of a crime that he apparently didn't commit, how did Touchstone Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer Films create an action film like that and who would want to be in the middle of that? THAT'S THE QUESTION!

Great movie and will probably always be one of my favorite action movies. Is it over the top and silly at times? Yes but it's got some of the best lines ever. I enjoy this movie every time I watch it. Don't know why I like it so much but I do I tell ya. I just doooooo! Watched it for the first time with my son on 1/19/14 which is awesome that he now gets to share in this greatness of a movie.
