 Sylvester Stallone
is surprisingly good in this fast, funny and violent futuristic action film about
two convicts (the one good, the other bad) freed from suspended animation to wreak
all kinds of mayhem in a politically correct Los Angeles of the future. Mind you,
Wesley Snipes (as Sly's bad guy opponent) still steals the show.
While more could have been done on the satire side of things, this film is
still one of the better Stallone films made.  It
actually shows that he can star in worthwhile movies and not just misconceived
duds like Judge Dredd (1995)! Also, watch out for Sandra Bullock
in a role she took before Speed (1994) jettisoned her to worldwide fame and recognition.
Demolition Man offers enough action and laughs for any action
movie junkie...
