Tango And Cash (DVD) > Reviews

Advantages: A very early version of Dumb & Dumber
Disadvantages: None

Tango and Cash stars Stallone Sylvester and Kurt Russell. The story is your everyday run of the mill action/comedy. Two cops get framed by the crimelords they put away and end up in a maximum security prison full of criminals that they put behind. a few badly choreographed fights and a ridiculous prison break out by the stars sets them on their way to finding out who set them up and eventually to get revenge.

Advantages: Russell and Stallone work well on-screen
Disadvantages: Plot, too short

Advantages: Cheap to buy on video and DVD

Advantages: Funny, a bit of action
Disadvantages: Doesn't really stand out

I've read some other opinions on this film and they seemed to be a little harsh. It is definately not a classic, but is still entertaining and better than 90% of movies out there. Sly Stallone and Kurt Russel play the two best cops in, I think its LA. They both get framed by this bloke(a little vague i know), who wants no police hassle whilst working on his latest crime. The film contains some great wit and nice action scenes. I don't care what ... Read review
