Cusack hates this movie


So, according to the Trivia section of Con Air, John Cusack doesn't like this movie and won't do interviews about it.

I wonder how he feels about 2012, which is perhaps the most unwatchable movie of the millennium. He should be so embarrassed about being in that, he should start off every interview apologizing for it.

I don't get that. He's made plenty of worse movies.

I'm pretty sure his stance has mellowed over the years and he even said at one that he'd be open to returning in a sequel.

I don't blame him. Cusack's character in Con Air was one of the most annoying characters in cinema history. Not only that, but how am I to believe that he would prefer that the feds avoid shooting down the plane full of convicts and instead preferring to endanger the lives of all the innocent people on the Las Vegas strip?

reply

Is that any less believable than a federal agent smuggling a gun on board the plane. Not to mention none of the guards notice it being given to him in the first place?

This is the kind of project you look back on and laugh about it - not "dislike" or "hate" it. The whole thing's silly - but fun! It's on TV as I type this, and my wife can't stand it but I said to her that I'll bet the guys in the ensemble had a blast making it. It just has that kind of purposely-over-the-top vibe.

reply

I think Cusack is prone to taking himself way more seriously than anyone else does.

reply


That right there is his whole problem, but it's not unique to actors in any case.

reply

He should hate his entire career. Really, a terrible actor.

reply

Never was a fan of his. This is one of the few movies I like that he is in .

reply

Maybe it's because he was upstaged by Every single member of the cast, including Colm Meany.

reply


LOL, good point.

Even little Landry Allbright upstaged him. It was a strong cast, but still.

reply

I don't blame him.
