Con Air wasn't exactly critically hailed. If your cup of tea is to watch action for the sake of action, and explosions are best viewed from a variety of angles, this is the movie for you.

Cusack plays U.S. Marshal Vince Larkin, and isn't really given much opportunity to breathe any life into the character as he spends the majority of his time dodging bullets and running and ducking from flying debris.

Aiming for a summer blockbuster, the casting dept. pulled no punches in rounding out the all-star extravaganza with Nic Cage, John Malkovich and Steve Buscemi. At least there is pleasure to be had in watching the actors interact with each other, although Malkovich sleepwalks through.
