This certificate 18 typical cop/buddy film from 1989, raises quite a few laughs.

Sylvester Stallone stars as LA cop Ray Tango while Kurt Russell is Gabe Cash, his hated partner. The two get framed for a crime they didn't do, by a criminal who wants them out of the way. They end up in prison together and then break out to get the man who put them there. It's an unlikely but fun scenario. There are some violent scenes but that's typical of an action film like this.

Terri Hatcher co-stars as Tango's sister and of course, there's a touch of romance with Cash much to Tango's dismay. Jack Palance hams it up as an international criminal.

The acting isn't the greatest in the world and the plot and general background are predictable but it's still a fun movie. There are some great one-liners as well, especially from a cantankerous Sylvester Stallone. The two main characters are likeable and the film doesn't take itself too seriously. Stallone and Russell had generally only done straight action films at this point so it was a little bit different at the time.

The main downside are the criminals - one "Cockney" in particular is especially annoying but if can ignore this, this is a reasonable film.

The video and DVD cost around £6.
