How Did I Ever Live Without This Film?

OH YEA! What a good/bad film. Cage, Cusack, Malkovich, Rhames, Buscemi, that is a murderer's row of the good/bad actor hall of fame, OK Malkovich is just a legitimately good actor.
When a criminal with an all-time criminal name, Cyrus the Virus takes over a plane who do call? Not Sly, not Arnold, that's right, you get Cage.
Cage, as Cameron Poe, also a great name and great hair, he's the average-American Killer in all of us. Trained by the Army, but was just always in the wrong place at the wrong time.
When these two get together, BOOM, fireworks. This is a highly entertaining movie. It passes all parts of the watch test (did you or did you not look at your watch to see how much longer the film must go on). And the action never really stops. There's some great action …

Frankly, this film is just despicable. Terrible, gear-turningly contrived plot with awful, unbelievable dialogue (and no, the fact that it's a stupid Nicolas Cage action film is not an excuse). And then it has the gall to bring up the topics of rape and pedophilia. If this is a "man's film", then men shouldn't be permitted to make films because it's just so crushingly bad. Explosions! Because everybody likes things exploding for no reason!

And child molesters? Turns out they're not so bad after all! I've said in the past that a film that has no brain doesn't belong in a cinema, …

Great Nicolas Cage movie. I personally feel like that could have used Cusak and Potter a little better. Not enough story line for the two of them. Malkovich/Buscemi what can i say, their names state enough. I don't believe i was ever disappointed by either of them. Cage's character had good material to work with. The innocent man being sent home from prison and in the middle of a jail breakout on a plane, still tries to be the hero. The duo between Cage and Cusack works well together, their eye contact getting on the motorcycles was brilliant. Cage: yes i'm an ex-con and i'm helping you Mr. Federal Agent. Cusack: I know you had a raw deal. Just the thoughts that i believe went through these character's minds as they got on the motorcycles to stop Malkovich and his crew. I …
