Stallone is John Spartan, a risk-taking police officer who has a reputation for causing destruction while carrying out his work. It stars Sylvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes, Sandra Bullock, and Nigel Hawthorne. The Expendables 3 may be aptly titled, but it's unlikely to be the franchise's swan song.Demolition Man is a 1993 American science fiction action film directed by Marco Brambilla in his directorial debut. So we'll explode 2 stars out of 4 for this one-dimensional but watchable geri-action thriller. That said, for unapologetic action junkies, this amped-up, muscular, largely incoherent dose of testos-Stallone has shoot-em-up energy galore, but little if anything in the way of heft or grace. On the bright side, though, script-wise, at least there are a decent number of in jokes and attempts at self-mockery.įollowing two R-rated entries, this third offering is rated PG-13, the violence having been rendered slightly less graphic and bloody, presumably for commercial reasons. The underdeveloped, plot-hole-filled screenplay that Stallone, who wrote the story, co-authored with Creighton Rothenberger and Katrin Benedict has about as much interest in narrative and character development as the target audience is likely to bring with them, which is to say little or none.īut the screenwriting committee has also taken the curious approach (are they perhaps fishing for a younger target audience?) of sidelining the older crew of marquee names while Ross rounds up a younger, more nondescript group in a sequence that feels like an unnecessary and unwelcome side-trip interruption of the franchise's signature "of-age-ness."
