Demolition Man is an underrated film that deserves more attention.
The film is actually a satire set in a hilarious environment in the future where people are punished for swearing. Often a misunderstood film work that is much more than just an action movie, which turned out to be incredibly prophetic.
The film is a brilliant satire that ultimately sends us a good message, that we should treat each other better.
When we look at this story from today's perspective, it is interesting because of several things.
In the film, society has degenerated into a kind of strange terror, where people are completely separated from reality, incapable of facing dangers and crime. Beneath the seemingly perfect society, lurks something sinister, and the film is a truly interesting satire that shows all the hypocrisy of such a structure.
Humans have simply turned into soft pathetic creatures who are not allowed to drink, smoke, eat bad food and who are not even allowed to swear so as not to offend anyone.
Quite interesting, because from this perspective the film seems almost prophetic, and indeed as such, it is extremely interesting and popular even today.
The film is excellently directed, and Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes are great in their roles, and the whole film is full of subtle details that blend perfectly into one great story. The direction is great, the action scenes are superbly directed, and the action itself is bloody and brutal. Wesley Snipes is brilliant in the role of Simon Phoenix.
Add to all that a fun cast, explosions, a lot of action and you have an incredibly fun movie that sends a positive message.
