Con Air — Hive

Self defense?

I always find it a little curious that the writers have some one that has been highly trained in self defense accidentally killing an attacker in self defense. Whatever happened to disarmament? Guess we wouldn't have a movie then would we?

The cast includes John Malkovich, and Ving Rhames which give Nicolas Cage decent bad guys to respond against. Combine this with a decent pace, some interesting scenes, and some big explosions you do end with a reasonable action film. I never saw this at the cinema and I do not believe I missed out on anything.

As mentioned earlier we have Cameron Poe a highly trained and decorated Army Ranger. He has arrived back home and encounters a few locals that like the drink too much. They wait for him outside the pub, whereby a brawl ensues, one of them pulls a knife, is accidentally killed. Which results in Cameron being sent to prison for seven years.

Seven years later, Cameron is released and his transport is a prison plane that is also transporting a number of highly dangerous and resourceful prisoners. The prisoners manage to take over the plane and plan to leave the country. Can Cameron stop them, and get back to his wife?

It is a Hollywood movie so no rewards for guessing that the good guy wins.
