Well the only 2 u realistic things I saw in this was Cages haircut when he was in the Rangers and the depiction of the plane taking forever to land. The C130 air craft can land and take off on a postage stamp. Yup. The only 2 unrealistic things for sure.

2024-02-23 17:54:17 +0000 UTCI finally got around to catching up with your full reactions, so this comment is waaaay late. I saw this movie 4 times in the theatre with my older sister, we loved this movie so much. We did the same thing with The Rock too. It's definitely an experience in a theatre full of people.

2023-12-16 04:01:36 +0000 UTCAround the same time John Cusack made another little action flick called GROSSE POINT BLANK. Not sure how everyone else feels about it, but it's great.
Philip Davetas
2023-09-23 06:48:23 +0000 UTCHere's a vote for The Grifters, not just for Cusack but Annette Bening and Anjelica Huston.
David Martin
2023-09-18 13:38:14 +0000 UTCIt's actually an Unrated Extended Version
Scott Kerr
2023-09-16 20:19:33 +0000 UTCCan't recall John Malkovich as the main villain in many movies other than this one, Clint Eastwood's In the Line of Fire, and Mat Damon's Rounders. He was also great in Burn after Reading with Brad Pitt and Francis McDormand but not exactly a villain. Best John Cusack for me was Grifters which I haven't seen mentioned yet.

2023-09-15 23:06:31 +0000 UTCNot going to get tired of recommending Cage in Martin Scorsese's "Bringing out the Dead"! :-P

2023-09-15 15:50:51 +0000 UTCyou guys need to watch The Family Man with Nic Cage. Its basically a remake if Its a Wonderful Life
James
2023-09-15 14:00:10 +0000 UTCWhat a great reaction to a great movie! John Malkovich was awesome as Cyrus The Virus. Nicholas Cage as Cameron Poe was a great hero. Driven, genuine and always wanting to do the right thing. Quick recommend: "Rounders" with John Malkovich. ( :E

2023-09-15 05:29:24 +0000 UTCMy brother loves watching you guys on YT (but only I am a Patreon, bwahaha) and he's honestly been wondering for like a year when you guys were going to watch Con Air, so when I told him you would this week it made him very happy. It's a bit over the top for me but it's definitely a fun film and you always gotta love Steve. As always, great reaction! β€οΈ So I wanted to leave my movie recommendations of these actors for you guys: for John Malkovich I completely recommend Burn After Reading (2008) by the Coen Brothers and a magnificent cast. As other people have suggested Being John Malkovich (1999) which also has John Cusack in it, and my personal favourite of Malkovich is Empire of the Sun (1987) with Joe Pantoliano and a very baby Christian Bale! For Nicholas Cage I recommend Adaptation (2002) which also has Meryl Streep as always being amazing (and small glimpses of John Malkovich and John Cusack too, directed by Spike Jonze who also directed Being John Malkovich, the movies are connected but you don't have to watch one to understand the other). And for John Cusack I'd recommend 1408 (2007) with Sam Jackson, based on a Stephen King novel. Those are my picks. π

2023-09-15 05:14:08 +0000 UTCAlso, there is Being John Malcovich where a guy discovers a door that opens up into John Malcovich's head and you get to be him. Also written by Charlie Kaufman.
Reed James
2023-09-15 04:24:04 +0000 UTCWant a crazy Nic Cage movie. Try Adaptation where he plays screenwriter Charlie Kaufman (who wrote the film) hired to adapt a novel called the Orchid Thief (a real novel) and his descent into madness that mirrors Charlie Kaufman (the real one) attempt to adapt Orchid Thief into a movie. It's a surreal movie.
Reed James
2023-09-15 04:20:23 +0000 UTCRounders would be great movie to watch John Malkovich act in. And you should definitely watch Being John Malkovich. It also has John Cusack in it as well. "Malkovich, Malkovich...Malkovich. Malkovich, Malkovich. Malkovich" ;)

Tristan Durant
2023-09-15 03:28:05 +0000 UTCJohn Malkovich plays a great villain in Rounders.
Ed R
2023-09-15 03:10:21 +0000 UTCMy favorite Cusack movie, by far, is Grosse Pointe Blank. Definitely recommend adding that to your list. It has like 3 other Cusacks in it.

2023-09-15 01:58:16 +0000 UTCSorry for the confusion, I was talking about Steve Buscemi's character.
Alex
2023-09-15 01:57:13 +0000 UTCIn the last three weeks, I've watched the full reactions of Armageddon, Three Men and a Baby, American Pie and now Con Air. It's awesome to watch along with you guys. Keep it up! Oh I concur about "In the Line of Fire" (1993). Clint Eastwood and John Malkovich.

2023-09-15 00:53:27 +0000 UTCThat would be a wild twist of him just not having a family to come home to! Thanks for clarifying that haha Sounded kind of crazy! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2023-09-15 00:53:15 +0000 UTCLOL the most Michael Bay, not Michael Bay film! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2023-09-15 00:50:54 +0000 UTCExcited to get some John Travolta on the channel! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2023-09-15 00:50:34 +0000 UTCDefinitely on our list! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2023-09-15 00:50:21 +0000 UTCI didn't realize there were multiple versions on this one! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2023-09-15 00:50:05 +0000 UTCLOL Daniel was thinking about that the whole movie, I just know it! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2023-09-15 00:49:52 +0000 UTCAwesome, thank you! Looks like In the Line of Fire is a popular recommendation! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2023-09-15 00:49:17 +0000 UTCAwesome! Thanks for the recommendation! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2023-09-15 00:48:36 +0000 UTCThe name looked familiar but I couldn't place it! At least we've made it through a good number of these already :) -Sam

TBR Schmitt
2023-09-15 00:43:26 +0000 UTCI'll suggest Of Mice and Men as another great John Malkovich performance.
Mark M
2023-09-14 23:49:37 +0000 UTCIn the Line of Fire has John Malkovich as the villain and is an amazing movie and is also with Clint Eastwood as the main star.
Alex
2023-09-14 21:44:06 +0000 UTCThis is one of my favorite movies and I dunno why but I could have sworn the little girl wasn't real. I could have sworn like they showed them once and only he was there. He is crazy after all. but maybe not. IDK. The whole thing about "you are military trained the law doesn't apply to you the same way" I'm pretty sure is not a thing and just made up for the movie. And I know 99% of the time that someone says their hands are considered lethal weapons it's all just showing off/bragging and not really true. I dunno if it's actually a real thing. Lethal force is lethal force no matter how it's applied. But it was self-defense and he shouldn't have been in jail and I don't believe he would have gotten convicted of murder in real life.
Alex
2023-09-14 21:32:51 +0000 UTC-So Simon, first time director eh? How's your vision? Michael Bay. -You got the gig kid.

2023-09-14 20:21:51 +0000 UTCA highly recommended movie with Nic Cage is Face Off (1997) also with John Travolta
Ido Gordin
2023-09-14 20:17:23 +0000 UTCThe poor cousin of the Nic Cage action trilogy. Face/Off is where it's at.
Odd Thomas
2023-09-14 19:11:56 +0000 UTCI like the Director's Cut version of this film. "I like black cherry jello." - quote from that version.
Scott Kerr
2023-09-14 17:49:10 +0000 UTCFYI... Poe's friend was Bubba in Forrest Gump.
Vwlss Nvwls
2023-09-14 16:51:27 +0000 UTCGreat reaction to a great movie! Some John Malkovich picks: The Man In the Iron Mask (1998), Of Mice & Men (1992), In the Line of Fire (1993, Malkovich AND Clint Eastwood).
David Crabtree
2023-09-14 10:07:57 +0000 UTCA lot of plot would be avoided if homie put the bunny back in the box.
Philip Davetas
2023-09-14 09:26:48 +0000 UTCPut the bunny back in the box π
Ian
2023-09-14 09:22:03 +0000 UTCAfter The Rock and Con Air, I'd love to see a "serious" Nic Cage film next. My first choice would be Bringing Out the Dead (1999). In my opinion, a very underrated Martin Scorsese film. Very dark, with strong Taxi Driver vibes. And a great cast: John Goodman, Patricia Arquette, Ving Rhames, Tom Sizemore, Aida Turturro (Janice from Sopranos).

2023-09-14 09:13:17 +0000 UTCI love Beverly Hills Cop :)
Florian Meier
2023-09-14 08:53:50 +0000 UTCYes !!! Rounders is fantastic !!! So "In The Line of Fire", "Rounders", "Being John Malkovich", "RED", "Empire of the Sun", "The Killing Fields", "Jennifer 8" .... He had so many great Performances !!!!
Florian Meier
2023-09-14 08:52:22 +0000 UTCI guess people don't know who Jerry Bruckheimer is these days. In the 80s he produced Top Gun and Beverly Hills Cop and then in the 90s, a summer Jerry Bruckheimer movie was always a big event. 1995 - Bad Boys and Crimson Tide, 1996 - The Rock, 1997 - Con Air, 1998 - Enemy of the State and Armageddon. Then he did the Pirates of the Caribbean movies in the early 2000s. He had a knack for putting unusual actors in these big action movies. Nicolas Cage was more like Joaquin Phoenix back then and people really doubted he could star in this kind of movie. Johnny Depp was mostly Tim Burton's guy and then Bruckheimer put him in Pirates.
Ellie Miller
2023-09-14 07:43:53 +0000 UTCIn the Line of Fire and Malkovich in it is fantastic! Malkovich is also legendary in Rounders with Matt Damon and Edward Norton
Ellie Miller
2023-09-14 07:34:46 +0000 UTCYay!! :) After this i strongly Recommend "In The Line of Fire" with Clint Eastwood and John Malkovich !!! One of the greatest Action Thriller of All Time, and a Oscar Nomination Performance from John Malkovich
