Verdict: ACTION AND FUN...YOU WILL ENJOY IT..

     Tango[Sylvester Stallone],is an efficient and smart cop with Baverly Hills LAPD.He is aggressive and intelligent and his heroics are celebrated by the media often.He has a sister Katherine who is a dancer in a club and she is all he got in life.He is keen in stock markets and earn enough to keep his daring life going.

   Cash[Kurt Russel],is a funny and tricky cop and he too work for Beverly hills LAPD.He is single and so a dare devil and he too like Tango remains in the media spotlight for his undaunted work against the bad guys.He likes to chill out and enjoy his life after his work.

    BUT..Both Tango and Cash doesn't share too much love between them as both fight each other for the prestigious top spot for the best cop in life.They don't like to work together and so they are on different assignments always but whatever it is both create too much menace for the crime lord Yves Perret and his two associates.So they decide to trap the two highly decorated cops in a murder plot.They succeed in framing both, in the murder case of a federal agent and  Tango and Cash are sentenced to imprisonment for  18 months.The prison seems to be filled with criminals, Tango and Cash captured and tortured and hence so, both of them get to have a real tough time there.Now the only way to survive in the hostile prison for Tango and Cash is to keep the differences aside and to work together to break out of the prison and find the people who framed them in this.

         Shedding their ego's and working together never seems easy for them but that's the only way forward to clear their name from this conspiracy and to tear apart the dangerous kingdom of drugs and crime controlled by Perret.The movie has some very funny scenes which I am sure you will enjoy.Action scenes are well taken and  both Stallone and Russel excels in their respective roles.
       The two superstars of 90's,Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russel coming together was big news and they didn't disappoint  this time.The movie succeeded at the box office in spite of some harsh reviews by the critics.But it was not surprising in 90's that critics try to slam a Stallone movie and eventually his star power overcoming it at the box office.

I am Deepak Unnikrishnan and I will be back with another good movie from my collection, soon.

TIP OF THE DAY: FRIENDSHIP IS ALWAYS A SWEET RESPONSIBILITY.
