Con Air takes flight this week's Four Play, featuring a cast brimming with top stars and character actors from 1997. The film serves up some amazing action sequences, stunt work, and excellent over-the-top performances, which should leave viewers satisfied if they "buy in" to the absurd premise. Even the movie's obvious flaws, such as the overly fast pacing, terrible writing, and massive plot holes are also hilarious to discuss given the over-the-top tone. While certainly not a subtle or artistic piece of cinema, Con Air serves its role well as one of the ultimate popcorn action flicks and stands as a symbol of the genre's excesses in the late 1990's.
