Saw Con Air....I liked this until about two-thirds into it when I started thinking, "who made this flying turd?" Why do movie-makers insist on treating us like we're fucking retarded?! "We've run out of plot--Let's blow up shit," they seem to be saying. Did someone see Broken Arrow and think it's smart to avoid common sense as long as stuff goes boom!? (Broken Arrow sucked by the way. Trust me; it did.) Other than Nicholas Cage growing into a pretty solid action hero (sad to think how a picture with fat Travolta and written-out Woo may change this opinion-----let's see what I think later), this was even a poor excuse for the usual mindless Summer fare. I'm all for mindlessness, just treat me with some respect. Nice scene with Buscemi and the girl, though, just, again, how far did he walk to get to that trailer park????? Really, I enjoyed the film until they put the soldiers into the ambush in the bone yard: then I realized that my expected 2-3 star (out of four) Summer action flick was willing to settle for just two stars.
