Tango & Cash Reviews

Average direction, average script, average everything.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 9, 2023

Tango and Cash is at least active and acrobatic… not too bad. [Full review in Spanish]

| Jul 1, 2022

Stallone and Russell are entirely watchable as two larger-than-life juggernauts portraying the same cheeky tough-guy characters they always play in their actioners.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Sep 8, 2020

That 'Tango & Cash' was an undeserved testament to the action cinema of the eighties is evidence that the implacable judge called time has revealed it in a more than painful way. [Full Review in Spanish]

It is impossible not to see a film that, voluntarily or involuntarily, is placed under the advocation of the comical and James Bond. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Mar 26, 2019

Despite imaginative sets and bursts of action -- the prison scenes are particularly vividly staged -- this is a fitfully boring film with perished elastic in its would-be whiplash dialogue.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 21, 2019

...an ineffective misfire that surely looked a whole lot better on paper.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 15, 2018

'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.

| Jun 7, 2016

The jokes seem lame and the rivalry fraudulent, as the two boys play with their big guns.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 11, 2014

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.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 11, 2014

Tango and Cash is a loud, violent, badly written, rather boring cookie-cutter cop picture.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 11, 2014

Both men think that the best way to deliver the right to remain silent to the usual suspects is via a right hook.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 11, 2014

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.

| Jun 11, 2014

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.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 11, 2014

The result is great, brainless fun.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 11, 2014

The ostensible humor here is of the macho one-liner variety, and much of it falls flat.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 11, 2014

A bizarrely appealing movie, Tango & Cash is the essence of camp: it's bad and knows it's bad, so therefore, it's...good? [Blu-ray]

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 24, 2009

A very smart 'dumb' movie.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 6, 2008

Stallone and Russell play well off each other, and with Palance lurking in the background, this buddy-breakout never loses its way.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 6, 2008

A mindless buddy cop pic, loaded with nonstop action that's played mostly for laughs and delivers too few of them.
