    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Action packed, full of stunts guy film, but also one for the ladies i'd imagine due to the two leading guys. Very entertaining, funny & fast paced, but you dont need to put much thought in to it. Grab yourself a pizza & six pack & enjoy. oh yeah - watch out for the baddie with the razor

    THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS Show review anywayHide

    Look, I'm not going to lie to you. This is not a good movie by any stretch of the imagination. It has a warehouse with a self-destruct button. It avoids having characters exposit major plot points by having them delivered in the form of intrusive newspaper headlines. It has a pantomime villain, a gloriously hammy Jack Palance, who not only micromanages his criminal organisation to a ridiculous degree, but also avoids killing Tango & Cash again and again despite being advised to just kill them again and again. It has one of the worst English accents ever committed to celluloid. Why then do I enjoy this film? Because of all those reasons listed above. Because it was the last time a so-called serious action film could ever be this unironically moronic again. Because it has one of the most ridiculously homoerotic subtexts this side of 'Top Gun'. Because most of the aesthetic and technical decisions for this movie seem to have been made by a panel of fourteen year-old boys declaring it to be 'cool'. Because it cast Sylvester Stallone, a man who on his best day looks and sounds like a troglodyte recovering from a stroke, as the 'sophisticated, smooth-talking' Ray Tango. Just don't overthink it (which, let's face it, is impossible). In fact it's probably best to watch this movie with some slight mental impairment. I'd recommend a few shots of whiskey, although you could also trying banging your head repeatedly against a wall. FUN FACT: Patrick Swayze was offered the role of Cash, but turned it down to make 'Road House'. Great choices all round.

  • Worst accent ever...

    It really is one of the silliest nonsensical films I have ever seen. Completely unbelievable from start to finish & some of the worst acting ever committed to film.

  • Predicable, boring, and a waste of time

    Rated - 2.0 stars  
    By JafarIqbal (54 reviews) from London , 25 Oct 2012
    Nostalgia can be a great thing. I watch movies like ‘The Goonies’, or ‘Star Wars’, or ‘Hook’, and I get nostalgic and it feels great. Nostalgia can also turn out to be very misleading and delusive. This is pretty much exactly how I felt as I endured an hour and forty-five minutes of ‘Tango & Cash’.

    For those of you lucky enough to not have seen it, it’s about Tango (Stallone) and Cash (Russell), two of the best cops on the force, who also happen to be extremely competitive and hateful of each other. When they’re framed for a murder, they are forced to pair up and find the real culprit.

    There’s nothing original about the story. Its standard odd couple material, the sort of plot you’d expect from an action comedy (I use that term loosely) in the eighties. But, basically, there’s nothing original about anything in the movie. It’s all cookie-cutter stuff, with not an ounce of originality. The acting, the characters, the storyline, the action scenes – it’s all so predictable and boring.

    Probably the one decent thing about the movie is Sylvester Stallone. We all know Kurt Russell has the comic timing but, at that point in his career, Stallone hadn’t really gone all-out with comedy. Here, he gets to quip those one-liners usually reserved for the Schwartzneggers of the world. He does a valiant job, and it’s fun to see. Teri Hatcher’s there, nobody cares. The legendary Jack Palance is there, and nobody cares.

    My vivid memory of ‘Tango & Cash’ is a scene where Stallone stops an oncoming lorry simply by standing in front of it and refusing to move. I always get really nostalgic about that sequence. What I’d forgotten was that it’s literally the first scene of the movie and, more importantly, I’d forgotten how bad the movie actually is. I really wish I hadn’t forgotten.
