Awkward, awful and yet strangely enjoyable. Stallone and Russell are a pair of muscular, wise-cracking, tough cops who are framed by the local megalomaniac. In the first half they get landed in a comically unpleasant jail while the second half gets them into a confrontation involving earth-moving trucks and an entire arsenal of weaponry. Mindless escapism of the kind that a couple of five-year-olds might indulge in, though with less imagination and more props.
