It sees Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes face off.
Congratulations, you’ve made it to the weekend.
And if you’re staying in tonight, there’s a lot of films on TV.
Here are your options this evening.
Demolition Man – ITV4 – 9pm
Our pick for tonight sees Sylvester Stallone play Sergeant John Spartan, a cop who is cryogenically frozen in the ’90s as punishment for a crime he did not commit.
However, he is later awoken in a future peaceful utopian society as he may be the only person able to stop the rampage of psychopathic criminal Simon Phoenix (Wesley Snipes) after the latter escaped his cyro-prison.
Co-starring Sandra Bullock, Demolition Man is both a solid action film and a fun fish out of water comedy as Stallone’s Spartan struggles to adapt to the radically different world of 2032.
