My housemate thinks that Con Air is a good film.

[UTK]

Well, I think we've all reached an agreement here.

[PorkChop]

Fuck this thread.

Fuck this thread.

[JDD]

I havnt seen this movie but bow i really want to I like fun mindless action movies so maybe ill like this.

[Locke]

^If you like action movies from the 90's, this won't disappoint. Though someone mentioned this would be in the same category as the likes of "The Rock" or "Face/Off," I would align it more with "Last Action Hero" or more of an "Arny" style action movie, just use Nic Cage in place of Arnold Swartzapecker.

Con-Air is a bad movie.

5/10 and that's being generous.

[iMike]

I need to see this movie, seems like a good one if PorkChop would make a post about it. Is it on Netflix by any chance?

[axis]

Porkchop - your response to the people that like the movie should be "I dont give a flying fuck. Get it? Flying... Fuck..."

That being said, Im a fan of the movie :D

[CubsIn5]

It's my 2nd favourite movie after the Wrestler. I watch it so much.

YES VADER

Those of you that haven't seen it, imagine a crossover between The Room and Snakes on a Plane, but replace the snakes with criminals, then have Nicolas Cage in the leading role with long flowing hair and the worst fake accent you can possibly imagine. Then add every action movie cliche you can possibly imagine. That is Con Air.

That's why it's so fucking awesome, spot on description! I told you, people like campy 90's action movies. They're not meant to be Road to Perdition or No Country For Old Men or any other boring rubbish. It's explosions, cheesy one-liners (what made Die Hard famous), iffy acting at best, and underdog over-coming the over the top impossible odds. In 1997 this was -awesome-.

You're just used to "now" movies, which all summed up ends up the action hero's family get brutally raped murdered burned to ash then resurrected with paranormal activity only for them to come out of the closet, hold hands, and adopt a poodle, then at the end of the movie the poodle gets hit by a car.

Oh come on. You can't tell me you've never seen a movie that's so bad, it's good. That's what Con Air is.

Gasp. The Coens have never been boring!

[Everlong]

Yeah wait a second, surely you don't think No Country for Old Men was boring, Locke?

[Ali]

Oh, there are a few Coen Clunkers out there. Much as I love Fargo, No Country for Old Men, O Brother Where Art Thou?, and True Grit. every once in a while they'll give you something like The Ladykillers or A Serious Man... or Burn After Reading, which was just confusing.

But Con Air is still just a fun movie. Does it make sense? Hell no! Is it awesome to see John Malkovich as a criminal named "Cyrus the Virus"? Hell yes! And you gotta love Steve Buscemi throughout the whole thing, he's awesome.

That is all.

Oh and "O Brother Where Art Thou" may be the worst movie ever made - it's definitely on the list.

[Locke]

I liked O Brother a lot more than No Country.
