"Along with 'Frenzy', and 'Lord of War', the movie 'Con Air' forms a kind of holy trinity of action and crime films from Nicolas Cage. After all, they are intense films, with fun premises, and have become firmly established in popular imagination. In the case of 'Con Air', filmmaker Simon West ('The Expendables 2') hits it out of the park with the story. In it, a prisoner on parole hitches a ride on a flight with the most dangerous criminals in the United States. From there, Cage, John Malkovich ('The Box'), John Cusack ('2012'), Steve Buscemi ('The Death of Stalin') and Danny Trejo ('Machete Kills') create chaos inside this plane and make it one of the most entertaining and exciting action films of all time. Not to mention Nicolas Cage's long hair, which has become a perpetual symbol among fans of the American star."
