The movie follows the story of police officers Ray Tango and Gabi Cash who are drug experts. Both seem to be very successful, but they can't tolerate each other. They must cooperate to topple drug lord Yves Perret before it is too late.
'Tango & Cash' turns 25 years old next month, which means if it were a person, it'd be right around the right age to start realizing what a stupid movie 'Tango & Cash' is.
The film looks like the sort of queasy fever dream that might be produced by sitting through an entire Orson Welles film festival while eating pepperoni pizzas.
This form of self-conscious action filmmaking is smeared over both Stallone and Russell. They mug mercilessly (none too well) and, of course, they rely on plenty of bang and firepower to disguise a sour and often nasty script.
Tango and Cash is a waste of talent and energy on all levels: unworthy of Konchalovsky, unworthy also of Stallone, Russell and every superior technical credit on the film.
