CON-AIR 

Star Star½

          While this movie does have one incredible cast, it’s still just your standard action flick. Granted, it is entertaining at points, but your suspension of disbelief will be thrown out the window in the last half-hour. Yes, it gets that ridiculous! In fact, whoever decided on Nicolas Cage’s look and accent for this movie should be smacked…HARD!!! Cage attempts a Southern accent and unfortunately falls flat on his face. Trust me, you’ll have more respect for Kevin Costner afterwards. Don’t get me wrong though, I like Nicolas Cage, but the producers should have avoided the accent because it really wasn’t necessary. Also, if you can get over the fact that Cage is made to look like Lorenzo Lamas in the TV show RENEGADE, you’ll have to laugh at the fact that he goes completely unscathed through explosion after explosion.

          One final note for you Steve Buscemi fans, don’t expect anything grand from him in this one. He has a few good one-liners, but for the most part, his character is pretty pointless and should have been cut.
