  Con Air is great

  Great cheesy action movie. Can't go wrong if you want a good action movie that is not trying to be clever or complex

  "Put the bunny back in the box.."
  
  From the minute Nicholas Cage exploded onto the screen I was hooked. Snappy dialogue teamed with Mr Cage's triumphant hair make this a must see.
