OUR REVIEW
Nicholas Cage gave one of his most exalting performaces in this film. He starred as Cameron Poe, a Navy Ranger who was convicted for a murder, but only of self-defense. After years of "good" behavior, Poe will finally be released to his wife and daughter, whom of which he`s only seen pictures of since she was born. He catches a plane ride with the nation`s most dangerous criminals with only a stuffed animal to give to his little girl and intent to establish a new home with his family. But putting the most psychopathic cases on one plane, means big problems up in the air. Poe has to endure a take over initiated by Cyrus the Virus(Malkovich). Which to me, resembles the anarchy in the short story "Animal Farm". With lots of adventure on and off the ground, this is a movie that both sexes can enjoy. Men get the satisfaction of blood, guts and glory. And women are satisfied by the romance and even off-beat comedy this movie presents.
