_Demolition Man_ may not exactly be the perfect movie, but the core idea behind the plot is something I've never ever seen done before or since. It's pretty mindless and fairly hammy, but it's fun and enough of an experience to get me across the finish line, no worse for the experience.

_Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._

Wesley Snipes ("Simon Phoenix") is deep frozen in 1996 for heinous crimes - as is the police officer who apprehended him (Sly Stallone) who also managed to kill 30 innocent folks in the process. When Snipes is thawed out for his parole hearing 35 years later, he discovers that his former playground is now a crime-free utopia, designed by Sir Nigel Hawthorne ("Dr. Cocteau") and the new citizens have no way to combat the crime spree his can easily inflict upon them all... What to do? Well, they defrost Sly ("John Spartan"), of course, and together with Sandra Bullock ("Lenina") they set about tracking down and stopping the destruction. It's got a few twists and turns - all is not as it seems in this peaceful, law-abiding city - and Snipes is actually quite good, with his tongue firmly in his cheek and his 90's style dyed blonde coiffure as the baddie, but the dialogue is pretty ropey and the film frequently suffers from a lack of imagination as it rumbles along for almost two hours.

You've reached the end.
