Washington Post -
Con Air, a summer blast of a movie, teaches us many things: Producer Jerry Bruckheimer never met an explosion, a car crash or 20 tough guys talking trash he didn't like. Nicolas Cage is one of our most enjoyable screen heroes. As long as you're funny, you can literally get away with murder in a movie.

Chicago Sun-Times -
This is a movie that knows it is absurd, and does little to deny it.

Variety -
Apart from not knowing to quit while it's ahead, Con Air provides quite an exciting flight prior to its crash and burn.

The New York Times -
The colorfully written Con Air is a solid chip off "The Rock," pumped up and very well cast, with the prettiness and polish of advertising art.

L.A. Weekly -
Con Air is entertaining in an extravagantly decadent sort of way. It just isn't a movie.
