John Spartan isn’t anything special, it’s still a fun character who matches up very well with Snipes’ psychotic personality. For his part, Sylvester Stallone plays up his macho personality that we’ve seen in previous films not named Rocky or Cop Land, and while his Sgt. The third in my 4-part Stallone review, Demolition Man is probably the best of the bunch and the most resilient especially considering it takes place now only 21 years in the future (2042) and unlike most futuristic films, this one is actually a tad more reasonable in terms of the technology (and I guess even the societal changes such as banning anything that is bad for you…).Īnyway, I mentioned in my Assassins review that there are three tiers of Stallone movies and this one firmly belongs at top of the second tier it’s one hell of an entertaining ride with a good balance of action and humor, thanks in fair part to Wesley Snipes who was having the time of his life. John Spartan (SYLVESTER STALLONE), unjustly serving a CryoPrison sentence because of his last encounter with Phoenix. Unable to deal with Phoenix’s brutal 1990s style, officials seek an old-fashioned cop to fight old-fashioned crime. In 2032 arch-criminal Simon Phoenix (WESLEY SNIPES) awakens from a 35-year deep freeze in CryoPrision to find a serene, non-violent Los Angeles ready for the taking.

One can’t discount Wesley Snipes who to that point had been the hero and takes a fun villainous turn with an over-the-top performance that matched up well with Stallone’s macho personality. Demolition Man is a fun ride and one of Stallone’s better entries in the 1990s second maybe to Cop Land and just ahead of Cliffhanger.
