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 scenes, especially the fight at the deserted Air Base. The crash on the Vegas strip probably went on a bit too long, but isn't that always the point with these types of films, everything is too long or too much?
Just watch this film and you will be entertained for 2 hours.
