Tango and Cash 1989 * * ½
Police detectives Tango (Sylvester Stallone) and Cash (Kurt Russell) are both framed for murder and thrown in jail. However, they try to find a way to escape so they can find the real killer (Jack Palance). This buddy flick isn't so good, but it's not bad, either. Stallone and Russell are both very funny and obviously enjoying themselves. The two also make a good team. Not quite Riggs and Murtaugh, but good nonetheless. However, the opening scenes and the climax are horrendously stupid. Most of the action scenes are dull and most of the scenes in between them are just as boring. However, every now and then, it revs up; the prison escape sequence is great, and the interregation with the grenade pretty good. Overall, fairly enjoyable if you like 80s action flicks. Otherwise, a complete waste of time.
