DVD Reviews of Tango and Cash (Snap Case)
DVD Review: Exceeds its own standards
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is not Shakespeare. It's your basic buddy cop plot, but what elevates this one is the incredible cast and how they all interact with each other. It's funny, cheesy, and it has some good action occasionally. It's one of those films you inevitably love, but don't really know why. It's highly enjoyable above all and that's what counts. DVD Review: Stallone and Russell fans can't go wrong buying this on Blu Ray!
Summary: 4 Stars
Before I picked this up on Blu Ray, I searched for reviews but couldn't find any. I decided to blind buy it from Amazon, because of the great deal offered. Well, sure enough, it doesn't disappoint: the picture quality is very, very good - in direct comparison to the DVD, it blows it out of the park! Contours are sharp and precise, colors are rich and vivid; it is as big an improvement over the DVD as the DVD was over VHS! I couldn't believe how bad the DVD looks (I guess it's been a while since I watched it...), with colors all washed out and the screen flattened. I'm no pro at this, but trust me: it does look great on Blu Ray! The only downside is there are no extras except the trailer. Since we didn't even get a Special Edition on DVD, chances for one on Blu ray are slim at best. I didn't see this movie in the theater, but thanks to the Blu Ray it looks like it's unfolding right before me.DVD Review: On Blu-Ray.......why not?
Summary: 5 Stars
Why not release movies that aren't necessarly classics on Blu-Ray? Is Blu-Ray only for great movies? I don't think so, studios decide what will be released and there's certainly a reason why they decided to release Tango & Cash. OK it's not great but I believe it's a pretty good movie, lots of action, funny jokes along the way, very good story and good pacing all along. It's entertaining which is the goal of every movie.
Besides, the DVD version was in widescreen but wasn't anamorphic (means that even if you have a 16:9 TV it didn't adjust to the size of it. So the Blu-Ray version will correct that big flaw.
So Tango & Cash on Blu-Ray, I'm a buyer!
DVD Review: A wonderfully hammy parody of macho buddy flicks
Summary: 4 Stars
TANGO & CASH is more a parody of macho buddy pictures than an adventure story, with everything played for laughs. There are several tons of beefcake, muscle cars, a demolition derby, monster trucks, stupid jokes, an extraordinarily hammy performance by Jack Palance as a master crook, and Terri Hatcher as a stripper. What more could you want? My only real complaint is that there is not an original scene in it and Hatcher doesn't get enough screen time. I hope that the studio does justice to it on Blu-ray because it is just the sort of action film that would benefit most from such a presentation.DVD Review: Why transfer garbage to Blu-Ray?
Summary: 1 Stars
With all the great films produced throughout the history of cinema, why do the studios insist on churning out garbage like this film onto blu-ray?
I mean, let's be serious, would any fan of Tango and Cash really be concerned with the improved visual aesthetics provided by blu-ray?
Description of Tango and Cash (Snap Case)
There are buddy cops. And then there are Ray Tango and Gabe Cash (Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell) They're rival L.A. policemen who have one thing in common: each thinks he is the best. And each has the commendations, battle scars and ready supply of hilarious one-liners to prove it. Team them and they're like oil and water. But frame them for a crime and they're like a match and kerosene. Year: 1989 Director: Andrei Konchalovsky Starring: Sylvester Stallone, Kurt Russell, Jack PalanceAnother action flick from an unlikely source (wildly inconsistent Russian director Andrei Konchalovsky), buddy movie Tango & Cash teams Sly Stallone and Kurt Russell as bullet-dodging cops who get on each others' nerves while uniting against a slimy French drug kingpin (Jack Palance). Violent, profane, and packed with implausibilities, this is one of those big-budget, stunt-laden affairs that gets by on the charisma of its stars, and they almost pull it off. Tango & Cash was Stallone's first attempt to share the spotlight with another hero, and he's casually laid-back in his change-of-pace role (well, OK, it's not that change-of-pace), while Russell is equally enjoyable as Sly's well-coifed sidekick. Ridiculous all the way, this one is entertaining if only as a virtual catalog of action-movie clich?s.--Jeff Shannon
