Demolition Man seemed like just another burly action flick when it first released way back when, however as time goes on it has become a rather surprisingly smart film. A future where we're more technologically sound and there's a big divide between people who want a safer, but more restrictive community versus those who want a more free, but also more reckless life? That hilariously lines up in a lot of places with what we've been living through now.
Other than that, it's just a really enjoyable action film. Stallone and Snipes' characters especially are several degrees of fun, and it's a joy to see them take the piss out of the new society they've been flung into and how they adapt over the course of the film. Overall, it's great entertainment.
Film Dumb Fun, But Also Aged Amazingly Well
