Action flick Con Air flies high
visually, but actors crash and bun
By Wesley Brown
The Battalion
J erry Bruckheimer, producer of
The Rock and the surviving
half of the creative team that
produced Top Gun, Crimson Tide
and Bad Boys, is nothing but
dependable. For more than 10
years he’s supplied a steady
stream of generally mindless
action flicks which are nonethe
less a lot of fun to watch. With his
new movie, Con Air, Bruckheimer
doesn’t let audiences down, but
he doesn’t surprise them, either.
The formula behind Con Air is
a no-brainer. A bunch of crimi
nals are trying to escape a con
fined space (an airplane) while
duping the incompetent good
guys (this time, instead of the
Keystone Cops or the Keystone
Swat Team, it’s the Keystone Drug
Enforcement Agency). As coinci
dence would have it, the one man
on the plane who can foil their
plan, Cameron Poe (Nicholas
Cage), is a highly-trained Army
Ranger with a checkered past. Of
course, he is distrusted by every
one in the Keystone D.E.A. except
for one idealistic young agent
(John Cusack). The two gain a
grudging respect for each other as
they whack out the bad guys.
Of course, as action flicks go,
this is a fine film, and a far sight
better than The Rock (at least none
of the villains says “My God, what
Con Air
Starring Nicholas Cage, John
Malkovich
Directed by Simon West
Rated R
Playing at Hollywood 16
have I done?”). Jolin Malkovich is
as entertaining as ever, delivering
another of his cold-blooded, yet
generally likeable villains in the
form of Cyrus the Virus (who hap
pily informs us that he was found
“crazy” in his last psychological
profile). The rest of the supporting
cast is inspired: Garland Greene
(Steve Buscemi) is a serial killer
along for the ride in full Hannibal
Lechter-type restraints; Ving
Rhames is Diamond Dog, a mili
tant mass murderer who plans to
overthrow Cyrus as soon as the
plane touches down; and Danny
Trejo is “Johnny 23,” so named for
his 23 rape convictions (he soon
wishes to change his name to
“Johnny 24”).
The weak link in this movie is
Cage’s performance. He sleep
walks through his surprisingly
unfunny role, drawing on those
Oscar-winning abilities to look
and act exactly like Rambo. Cage
also seems to have lost the flair for
accents he displayed in Raising
Arizona. As the Alabama-born
ids
Poe, Cage delivers his few lines
with an accent that only exists in
the movies — a mixture of bad
John Wayne and Elvis imperson
ations. When he’s not delivering
miserable one-liners, he’s giving
lot of icy stares, and while he’s
very good at staring, we’d rather
get on with the rest of the movie,
Con Airis a good-looking
movie. Simon West, a veteran of
the music video industry, brings
with him a flashy visual style and a
couple of subtle nods to Oliver U
Stone. The action sequences and *
special effects are as spectacular
and thrilling as audiences have r M
come to expect from !
Bruckheimer’s movies. L ]
We are also treated to the usual J l|
slate of action movie cliches (cops
eating doughnuts, bodies landing
on cars, good guys from the
Special Forces showing off their
deadly skills in a bar room brawl), 51 c
but most are executed with origi
nality and comic self-satire.
Bruckheimer knows these cliches
better than anyone because they 1 ^
are his stock-in-trade.
Back in the ’80s, of course, he
was one of the people inventing
the cliches. They have served him
well. After all, a cliche becomes a
cliche because it works. Con Airis
another in a long line of good
action flicks that won’t leave its
viewers thinking, but will give
them what they pay for.

History
Continued From Page 3
“It sounds like something I might have followed,
but it isn’t,” he said. “I didn’t resolve to be a lot of the
things I am. I stumbled into most of them.”
Wakefield said Vandiver has always had an interest
in leaders.
“He has written about leaders, and he has been a
leader,” she said. “I think that is the common thread.”
She said there are some parallels between being
president of a university of this size and being a mili
tary commander.
Joseph Dawson, a history professor at A&M, has
known and respected Vandiver for 20 years.
“Dr. Vandiver is a very cordial person,” Dawson said.
“He is very willing to listen to graduate students and
younger faculty. He is also very willing to give advice.
He is the kind of person who is a pleasure to know.”
Dawson said the most valuable aspect of
Vandiver’s influence is that he is a model historian,
^ ^ He has written about lead-1
ers, and he has been a leader.”
Edith Anderson Wakefield
Research assistant
which includes scholarship and public speaking.
“Having someone like that to talk to at times has
been helpful,” Dawson said.
Wakefield said that she feels happy to have worked
with Vandiver.
“Working for Dr. Vandiver has been a high point in
my working experience,” she said. “I hope to work
with him again. I think that says it all.”
Vandiver said he feels lucky to have accom
plished so much.
“I can’t believe it all happened,” he said. “As the old
saying goes, I’d rather be lucky than smart any day."
