I feel like Cameron Poe is on the more exaggerated side of things than a lot of the truly awful action movies Nicholas Cage has made where he's just a dude with slick-backed hair and a gun, but, yeah, it's still dialed down from where you want to see him.

For some random context, Rachel Ticotin, who played the female corrections officer that Poe protects, also appeared that year in Turbulence, a different movie about criminals hijacking an airplane, starring Ray Liotta, who recently passed. It is also available on Prime.

Con Air was director Simon West's first feature film and is easily his best, as compared to such films as Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and The Expendables 2. That said, he did some good work directing music videos when he was starting out.

This movie feels very Jerry Bruckheimer (it's sandwiched between The Rock and Armageddon in his production credits). I looked up the cinematographer, David Tattersall, to see if he was a Bruckheimer regular, but apparently not. Instead he went on to shoot Soldier and the Star Wars prequels. Bruckheimer never worked with Simon West again either.
