Demolition Man

★ 6.7 / 10
IMDb
Directed by Marco Brambilla
Synopsis

Marco Brambilla\'s satirical action film looks more accurate every year — touchless intercourse, language policing, brand consolidation, ironic nostalgia for the violent 20th century. Stallone and Snipes play the joke straight, which is what makes the predictions land so hard now.

Editorial

Why Eltorama recommends this film

A goofy Stallone action film accidentally predicted virtual sex, mandatory inclusive language, and a society that politicizes salt — almost everything except the three seashells.
