Con Air
When the government puts all its rotten criminal eggs in one airborne basket, it's asking for trouble. Before you can say, "Pass the barf bag," the crooks control the plane, led by creepy Cyrus "The Virus" Grissom (John Malkovich). Watching his every move is the just-released Nicolas Cage, who'd rather reunite with his family. The action climaxes with an incredible crash sequence in Las Vegas.

This movie was a total surprise. I rented it for my husband and thought oh this looks like a "guy" flick. But, it wasn't at all. It was drama, suspense, action, romance and with Mel Gibson...there has to be a little comedy. This was one of the best movies I've ever seen!

Incredible movie...a bit bloody, but very realistic. Strong emotional swings...one minute you're laughing, the next minute your're crying. Makes a person think about what our ancestors had to go thru to gain their freedom. Truly makes one proud to be an American. 5+ Stars.
