Con air is a lot of fun with a wild concept and a great cast. Definitely a 90s staple of action. My one hot take on it though is that I think Nic Cage is held back too much in this role. He plays a cool, calm hero, but Cage is at his best when you feel like he’s going to lose it. Luckily everyone else is bringing the crazy.

There’s a version of this film I could see where Cage plays Cusacks character, but dialed up even more. But then that’s really just his role in the Rock which came out before it.

Is this one of the only two that Cage and Rhames share? (Bringing out the dead as the other)

Didn’t he make a deal? But the judge just hated military people or something and gave him max penalty.

Not long after he joined an oil rig before succumbing to space dementia on an asteroid. Should have never put him on that plane.

Just watched Wild at Heart and I realized that both feature Nic Cage going to jail, his blond gf raising their kid whiles he’s in jail, and then meeting this at end of the film where he gives them a stuffed animal. Both versions of Cage also have a southern accent of sorts.
