Your Opinions and Comments
Having said that, Con Air is still a great fun, and for some reason I enjoyed it much more on it's second viewing (could be that I knew to switch my brain off before the film started this time!). What are utterly disappointing however are the extras, which are really quite pitiful. 2 poor (and short) featurettes and 2 trailers are not really what I'd called fully loaded on the extras front. Although it's better than the original disc that didn't even have a trailer!
Still, picture & audio quality are very good. And John Malkovich is pretty good in it. Good fun.
