Con Air is proof that the slick, absurdly overblown action formula of Hollywood mega-producers Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer (Top Gun, Days of Thunder, The Rock, Crimson Tide) lives on, even after Simpson's druggy death. (Read Charles Fleming's exposé, High Concept: Don Simpson and the Hollywood Culture of Excess, for more about that.) Nicolas Cage, sporting a disconcerting mane of hair, is a wrongly convicted prisoner on a transport plane with a bunch of infamously psychopathic criminals, including head creep Cyrus the Virus (John Malkovich), black militant Diamond Dog (Ving Rhames), and serial killer Garland Greene (Steve Buscemi, making the most of his pallid, rodent-like qualities). Naturally, the convicts take over the plane; meanwhile, on the ground, a U.S. marshal (John Cusack) and a DEA agent (Colm Meaney) try to figure out what to do. As is the postmodern way, the movie displays a self-consciously ironic awareness that its story and characters are really just excuses for a high-tech cinematic thrill ride. Best idea: the filmmakers persuaded the owners of the legendary Sands Hotel in Las Vegas to let them help out with the structure's demolition by crashing their plane into it. --Jim Emerson

My husband added this to his video collection. It's an enjoyable movie, but more of a guy movie. A little too intense for me at times.

I was suprised by how subtle some of the extended footage was and some of it being not so subtle. The footage certainly adds depth to the storyline, the relationship between Poe and Baby-O and why poe made the choices he did other than "just" being a Ranger. While the extended and unrated footage isn't to the extent of say Aliens or Terminator 2 it amazes me how 7 additional minutes can add so much to an already great film.
The bottom line is you've probably seen the movie many times and are wondering if an unrated and extended edition is worth buying the movie again or maybe you don't own it and are asking why not just buy the theatrical version? It seemed to me being unrated it was a bit more graphic, a bit more blood, a bit more violent,and there are many, many more f-boms thrown in including a new great one liner between Cameron Poe and Johnny 23. This is the definitive version of the film.
This is the throw everyting including the kitchen sink edition. The widescreen looks good and clear, the sound is crisp it's an enjoyable film with a great cast, a movie you'd expect to hit theaters with all the other Summer Blockbusters. So some of the extended and unrated footage works, some works really well and some falls flat, some could have stayed out of the movie but for the most part it adds to the enjoyment of the movie. For instance some thing that may not have been on screen you just assumed or figured out for yourself and now it's right there for you to see and hear.

This movie is a great movie, I have seen the edited version, and thought that maybe I was missing some of the movie by not having the unedited version. Both movies are complete, the only difference is the amount of swearing using the "F" word. I feel the edited version is a better choice.

I it totally not plausable, and totally fun! Every corner Nicholas Cage turns in this movie, despite his crummy Southern accent, he hads to get to his baby daughters birthday, He will do anything to get there and there and this band of pure consciousless devils will stop the process at every turn, even once it ic grounded. I never cried at Titanic but a few tears slipped out at the ending scene. I don't want to spoil the end, but it was so much action and the end was so sweet. Buy the movie you won't be sorry you did !
