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, 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 worth-while movies and not just misconceived
duds like Judge Dredd! Also, watch out for Sandra Bullock in a
role she took before Speed jettisoned her to world-wide fame and recognition.

Fancy lots of
explosions? You've got that and a screenplay that slyly makes digs at the type of
macho character usually played by Sylvester Stallone . . .
