DEMOLITION MAN

REVIEW

This action hit movie was made in 1993 directored by Marco Brambilla, it stars Sylvester Stallone in one of his best movies of the 90's second to Cliffhanger in which his best of the 90's, even though i like Assasins in which he gave a good performance it dosent match his performance in Cliffhanger and Demolition, his worst ever was The Specialist, due to a terrible plot and bad acting i feel sorry for him to be in such a bad film, probley the best thing about The Specialist was the sex scene with Sharon Stone.

Its starts of in 1996, Sylvester Stallone plays John Spartan, the Demolition Man, in which he was tracking down a murderst criminal called Simon Phoenix played by Wesley Snipes for 2 years to arrest him, when he finally tracks him down and arrest Simon Phoenix, for kid napping 20 children, every thing goes wrong when the building blows up and the cops finds bodys all over place, John Spartan mention to the cops that the place was empty, off course Simon Phoenix tells them that he didnt care, and both Simon Phoenix and John Spartan are sentence to the Cryo Prison in which John Spartan want be release until the Year 2045.

John Spartan is about to make Budgie jump from a helicopter

Now its the year 2032 Simon Phoenix is awaken from the Cryo Prison deep freeze, and he kills all the guards in the room and escaps from the Cryo Prison, and starts to cause violence in the streets, in which the cops cant control.

Hey Simon Dont you know the injections go in you arm not your head

They cops descided to release John Spartan from the Cryo Prison deep freeze to deal with Simon Phoenix, as he is only one trained to stop him, as 2032 is a crime free place, there has be any murders for quite some time, and guns are no longer us, so the cops in the 2032 arnt train in armed combat, so they release John Spartan to deal with the problem.

John Spartan teams up with a cop Lt. Lenina Huxley, who is played by Sandra Bullock to help him track down Simon Phoenix, to stop him once and for all.

John Spartan finds Simon Phoenix in the Cryo Prison trying revive the crimals from the path, in which its the finally time they met. As John Spartan finish him once and for all

Extras /*****

This a bare bone dvd with no extras at all in which found disapointing, not even a trailer of the film.

 

Picture ****/*****

Its a 2.35:1 wide screen transfere and quality good, with very little grain, but not surperb.

Sound ****/*****

English dobly digital 5.1 isnt the best i heard as its not as loud as most dvd i got, but uses a great deal of bass threw subwoffer, and the surround isnt that bad, with very little use of the back speakers.

Its good to see that this version didnt recive the UK version, but all references to Taco Bell have been (badly) overdubbed with references to Pizza Hut, but it didnt hurt the film.

over all ****/*****
