Re: 'Shells' - I can't remember any shells!

Demolition Man (1993)

http://uk.imdb.com/Title?0106697

Directed by Marco Brambilla.

Writing credits Peter M. Lenkov and Robert Reneau.

Frozen in 1996, Phoenix, a convicted killer is "thawed" out for parole well into the 21st century. Revived into a crime free society, Phoenix resumes his murderous rampage, and no one can stop him. Spartan, the cop who captured Phoenix in 1996 has also been cryogenically frozen, this time for a crime he didn't commit. In desperation they turn to Spartan to help recapture Phoenix.
Cue the chases, shoot-outs and general mayhem. If that's what you like, then there's plenty. I want a bit more than that. Now I can understand why Peachy and Annette would like to see Jean-Claude Van Damme do this kind of film, but Silvester Stallone isn't up to it.
If it's a cold wet day, you've broken both your legs, and there's only cricket and cookey programmes on TV, then watch this on video. Otherwise, it might make a good doorstop.
