“Delivers the ultraviolence with spectacular comic book results and the panache of a pro, managing from a running start to build­up the mind-boggling action into a climactic special effects frenzy so stupendous as to freeze any criticism in its tracks.” –Empire

Los Angeles, 2018. After being wrongly imprisoned for a series of murders, a cop is released from a cryogenic jail in order to join the hunt for the real killer. An outrageous parody of ’90s sensibilties with an infectiously playful spirit, Demolition Man doesn’t quite predict the future, but its comic-strip exaggerations of PC culture, urban decay, and phony politics captures something of the hyperreality of our current moment. Sly knows exactly how to pull off this material and does so with the help of a star-studded supporting cast that includes Nigel Hawthorne, Benjamin Bratt, and another charming performance from Sandra Bullock. But it’s Wesley Snipes as lip-smacking bleach-blonde uber-criminal Simon Phoenix who completely steals the show. Co-scripted by witty Heathers scribe Daniel Waters, Demolition Man imagines a smiley-happy dystopia where Taco Bell rules all and government machines bill citizens for cursing. The film is at once a rip-roaring action shoot-’em-up, a rollicking Verhoeven-esque satire, and a picture-perfect snapshot of mid-’90s culture.

Screening as part of Arkadin’s series Wesley Snipes-tember.
