I am back!

 The RETURN After a couple of months of no activity because of personal stuff, I am back again. I have been very busy these past months, then I had no energy to watch movies and even less to make a single small review... well you all know that it takes up neurons.  I will be watching more movies and posting daily content on Letterboxd and I will also be sharing some thoughts here. P.S. I'm very excited about Saw X , it will be released in a month, I can't wait for it.

Nicolas Cage amazing role

 Con Air (1997)

Here we are today with this action masterpiece directed by Simon West, it's cheesy, silly, great and savage in its fullness.

It's about a group of convicts on an airplane trying to scape to a better place, Clint Eastwood chose a spoon to scape from Alcatraz, these guys prefered a plane.

This movie is filled by an amazing cast, leaded by a long-haired Nicolas Cage, John Malkovich, John Cusack, Steve Buscemi and Danny Trejo (probably his most unpopular role ever, a rapist who pronunces his deadly line: "Un corazón para cada una de mis 23 marranitas.").

It has very likable characters, an entertaining story, a simple script that the only thing it wants to achieve is to sound bad ass in the voice of this dangerous guys, it's full of remarkable one-liners, it also has a predictable plot and enjoys of a soundtrack which feels accurate to the movie.

As an interesting detail, Simon West said: "Everybody was stripped to the waist all the time because it was so hot. There was competition over who could do the most pull-ups and push-ups." Then if you guys were a bit skeptical about if this is or not a macho movie, the director already removes your doubts: “You can imagine, it got pretty macho out there in the desert”.

I would encourage you to watch this piece, if you like this old action "macho" movies. Just give a check to the trailer if you want, this is the kind of trailers that really rock, not like the ones we see today, if after watching the trailer you still don't want to watch the movie, then, definately, it isn't for you.
