The two leads are very good and in particular Snipes revels in his nasty role. The comedy factor is high in this film and the film certainly has tongue fastened firmly in cheek. The films pacing is good and in particular there are three big action sequences that shine, these are the opening and the end as well as a very good action scene set in a museum. Snipes plays the baddest of bad guys Simon Phoenix and does so excellently. The opening action scene is set in the present day and is a rip roaring sequence with Stallone polishing off bad guys with stylish flair, before he has a face off with the show stealer Wesley Snipes.
Anything remotely bad for you, including spicy foods, is illegal and the whole new system is run by Raymond Cochtoe played by the late Nigal Hawthorne. What you get with Demolition man is an entertaining and satirical look at the future of Los Angeles where people walk about in robes and are a peace loving society. Around the same time he did the excellent Cliffhanger he also did this nifty action flick. This movie features Sly Stallone at his muscle bound, destructive best.
