I haven't watched much of Nicolas Cage, but I know enough about his career to know that this is one of his best action movies and movies in general.
Even though action classics from the 80's and 90's are loved, I personally like more recent action movies more. Considering Con Air came out in 1997, it far surpassed my expectations.
I felt bad for Cameron Poe and was anxious just waiting for him to get back to his family. Cyrus "The Virus" was a solid villain with a strong crew that makes you dying to know "how does Cameron Poe walk out of this alive?" Con Air is a good action movie, and unless you're super nit-picky, you are most likely to enjoy it very much.
