Put the bunny in the box. Is Con Air the best action movie?

[DodgyGeezer]

an interesting article - and a value question. Yes Con Air is a cheesy as a French fromagerie but, for all the lunacy, it just works

No. It isn't. It just isn't.

[robemcdonald]

It’s a no from me.

It’s not even the best Nicholas Cage action movie.

[lyricalgangster]

Hell no.

[Some Gump]

It's st.
It has nicolas cage in it.

I can think of a lot of reasons it's far from the best action movie...

[Sheets Tabuer]

Of course it isn't, the rock is.

[Jenny Tailor]

It could quite simply be that this is Nicolas Cage's best performance yet.

But don't let that put you off watching it once.

[Its Just Adz]

It's simply brilliant.

But it doesn't shine a torch on Hot Shots.

This.

I like the film just fine, but it's not the best of any genre or metric.

[remedy]

Best? No way. But Steve Buscemi is awesome in it.
Like most of his characters.

[Mcphisto]

No

It is fun but it isn’t in the top four. Good cast but it isn’t Armageddon, Aliens, The Rock or Mad Max 2.

it's really not, but a decent article which reminded me that blockbusters used to be fun and not just another identikit superhero yawnfest

The Rock is very nearly the best Nic Cage movie, but not quite.

The correct answer is in fact Raising Arizona.

[Earl of Hazzard]

Loads of decent Nic Cage films imo...Face Off is good fun.
Also, love Lord of War, and Gone in 60 Seconds

[614-HSO]

It is a good film, not sure if it's the "best" action movie though.

[JonChalk]

Action movies?

Con Air has nothing on on either Die Hard 2 or Aliens.

Note: both these sequels aren't quite as good overall as their predecessors, but for action? Both nail it.

[mike80]

I think I prefer Die Hard 2 over the original. Alien or Aliens is more of a tough choice!

I do like Con Air, must watch it again soon. I had planned to watch an 80s or 90s action move this weekend with a few beers, but other stuff got in the way...
