Great parody of action movies, in which there are still enough tough guys and blistering action scenes to enjoy it as a regular action flick.
The good: blistering, cool tough guys Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes. There is more good: terrific jokes with lots of tongue in cheek references to all sorts of nineties icons and "traditions". Sandra Bullock's performance is another lovely and comical positive contribution. And to top it all of, this is one heck of a terrific action rampage, best suited for those who like simple, diehard, straightforward action flicks.
Any bad? It's kinda silly. If one doesnt like that silliness at the beginning, then this is not the right action movie for you. I loved the silliness though, because I truly believe that any real good action movie (Die Hard, The Terminator) thrives with excellent jokes!
The story? One good cop (Stallone) fighting a bad guy (Snipes), somewhere in the future.
