Con Air Reviews
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
I kept thinking that if their budget were cut in half, they would have made a better picture. If the special effects department were put on a much stricter budget, the show might have had to develop the characters beyond caricature.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The movie is essentially a series of quick setups, brisk dialogue and elaborate action sequences.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
If you're looking to kill a couple of hours, there are worse fates awaiting you out there.
Newsweek
David Ansen
The saving grace of Con Air is its sense of its own absurdity. Rosenberg and director Simon West seem to know just how preposterous their story is.
CNN.com
Carol Buckland
It's exhausting rather than exhilarating.
Hollywood Reporter
Duane Byrge
Packed high with explosive action and loaded with high-stakes jeopardy, Con Air charts a generally sound narrative course, although it hits some story turbulence before it hits its climactic jackpot.
Variety
Todd McCarthy
Rosenberg's sarcastic, tough-guy dialogue is full of lean-and-mean one-liners, and the superbly cast actors know how to milk them for all they're worth.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
They're 'the worst of the worst.' So's the movie.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Numbing but not boring, it's finally more dispiriting than exhilarating, like a wild night of debauchery that leaves only a fearsome hangover for a souvenir.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
All of the principals normally work in films more interesting and human than this one, which gives Con Air a touch of the subversive and turns it into a big-budget lark.
Salon.com
Charles Taylor
How's the movie? Big, loud, brutal and stupid, that's how it is.
Common Sense Media
Heather Boerner
A schmaltzy action-adventure at 8,000 feet.
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
Mega-budget action extravaganzas don't get much sillier than this.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Rumsey Taylor
Resolutely not boring.
USA Today
Massaging every demographic, this admittedly fast, funny and robustly acted progeny of The Rock exploits actions of killers and rapists -- then cynically sells family values with a lengthy wrap-up ballad.
7M Pictures
Kevin Carr
the quintessential high-octane action flick
