Demolition Man
The 21st century's most dangerous cop; The 21st century's most dangerous criminal
In 2032 archcriminal Simon Phoenix (Snipes) awakens from a 35-year deep freeze in CryoPrison to find a serene, nonviolent Los Angeles ready for the taking. Unable to deal with Phoenix's brutal 1990's style, officials seek an old-fashioned cop to fight old-fashioned crime. They revive Sgt. John Spartan (Stallone), unjustly serving a CryoPrison sentence because of his last encounter with Pheonix.

A movie with a bit of everything - beatlejuice95
This movie has been one of my all-time favourite action/comedy movies since it came out. Where should I begin. I love Denis Leary, and this movie was a space for him to shine as himself, in a role pretty much made for him. I loved the comedy in this movie, plus the roles for Sandra Bullock and even Rob Schneider, as well as the quirkiness of an alternate future such as the one depicted in this film.
I realize it was somewhat unbelievable that life would change that much in such a short time, but sometimes you just have to move reality aside and enjoy a popcorn movie. This movie fits that bill to a T.
I've said it once, I'll say it again, you can never make enough Action/Comedy movies, and this movie is one of the great ones I've seen.Easily a must see - PowerPipes
Where to begin when writing a review of this movie? Demolition Man is by far one of the best action sci-fi movies I have seen in a long time. It was arguably well ahead of its time in 93 and still hasn’t lost its watch appeal more than ten years later!
If you’re in the mood for some classic action the way only sly can provide you need to watch this flick.Too Soon - kav2001c
Its a great movie except for one huge flaw... it is unbelievable the world would change so much in one generation. If this was set further into the future it would work better
Stallone is a hard as nails cop who doesnt follow any rules, he just goes all out to catch Snipes a total psychopath
One night Stallone apparently kills some civilians while chasing Snipes so both cop and crook are sentenced to a cryogenic prison for rehabilitation
Someone messes with the programming and Snipes awakes an even more ruthless killer than when he went it
Bullock and the other cops awake Stallone to help them reign Snipes in
Denis Leary has a small role as the leader of a group of terrorists (he is hilarious but his rants are too short)
