SOUND & FURY, SIGNIFYING NOTHING - Demolition Man review by Frank Talker™
Silly and dishonest satire of the emotionally-repressed basis for the rampant political-correctness (PC) of White culture in which two forms of PC battle it out for supremacy in an inexplicable Zardoz-like (1974) vision of a Western future without the presence of genuine human emotions or actual political freedom.
The resistents' definition of freedom here is the usual American one lacking a distinction between true liberty and child-like self-indulgence. This leaves the viewer with no-one to root-for since each side of the conflict here merely represents two forms of the same PC totalitarianism.
Wesley SNIPES overacts delightfully and Sandra BULLOCK shows just how good she is at comedy. Everybody else in this picture is of little value in an unfocused script which tries hard to be another RoboCop (1987), but without resonant characterisation or a believable future-world; becoming instantly forgettable as soon as it ends, in the process.
