Despite the harshness and brutality of the picture, I always imagined this movie as a kind of comic book: a lot of jokes of infinitely violent guys (especially Snipes), some vague aspiring to the ideal society of the future without violence and crime, funny costumes and even funnier shells in the toilets. How to use them? I never figured it out. Stallone's scumbag (in every possible sense) finds himself in such an environment, feeling the impossibility of living with the new American society of the future.
The movie is powerful, in some places dynamic, and in other places just comical. I don't see Jackie Chan as a negative hero (and it was him Stallone called for this role), because the ideal is filigree recreated by the talent of Wesley Snipes! He's inimitable, and some of the scenes featuring him, like putting the guard's ripped out eye to the retinal scanner, have been lensed many times in other movies. I can't say that this movie is a sci-fi action masterpiece, although as a kid, when I watched it for the first time it seemed exactly like that to me. The movie is not bad and interesting. To demand more from it is simply indecent. And most importantly, good always triumphs over evil! Don't freeze...
