NOKW - Con Air

Here comes the next chapter in our "I'm Okay With, I'm Not Okay With" series (if you don't know what this is, click here for all of the past posts):

Movie:  Con Air

Basic Plot:  Nicolas Cage and his awesome hair battle vicious criminals aboard an airplane.  Also, Dave Chappelle is in this movie.

I'm Okay With:  The fact that it was so easy for a bunch of restrained criminals to take over an airplane full of guards.  The fact that nobody noticed Dave Chappelle leave the plane when he went to hide the plane's transponder in another plane.  The fact that nobody recognized the country's most notorious criminal, Cyrus the Virus, when he was helping bring the new inmates on the plane even if he was wearing a hood.  The fact that I actually like this movie and will watch it when it comes on.  The fact that Nick Cage stayed on the plane so that he could find Bubba some insulin was the dumbest reason ever when he could have just left the plane and instantly told someone to stop the plane because it had been taken over by criminals.  The fact that the assault force that was going after the downed plane was so easily ambushed.  The fact that no one noticed three inmates escape the crashed plane in Vegas.  The fact that nobody seemed to care that Nick Cage murdered the three escaped inmates in that Vegas chase scene, speaking of which....

I'm Not Okay With:  The fact that Nick Cage should never have gone to jail in the first place when he was sentenced for murder in a crime where he was clearly protecting his wife from some drunken idiots.  The military court claimed that because of his military training, he shouldn't have used such deadly force to fight off his attackers, but have they ever heard of self-defense?  I don't care how deadly his training made him, when a drunken asshole attacks you and your wife with a knife, you do whatever you have to do to protect yourself.  Let's say that he didn't use his training and was stabbed to death, I bet those same people who sent him to jail would have said "Why didn't he use his training to ward off his attackers?".  So, then why did they send him to jail when he was clearly just trying to stop some drunk dudes (who obviously were out to harm him) from assaulting his wife?  I am not okay with that.

"That hair, what can you say?  It's so......glorious."
