Tango & Cash

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Brutally violent and punishingly dull, this cookie-cutter buddy cop thriller isn't even fun enough to reach "so bad it's good" status.

Tango & Cash | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Jason Bailey Flavorwire '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 Full Review Tango & Cash | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune The jokes seem lame and the rivalry fraudulent, as the two boys play with their big guns. Rated: 1.5/4 Jun 11, 2014 Full Review Tango & Cash | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Dave Kehr Chicago Tribune 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. Rated: 2/4 Jun 11, 2014 Full Review Tango & Cash | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Candace Wiggins Southern Voice (Atlanta) Average direction, average script, average everything. Rated: 2/4 May 9, 2023 Full Review Tango & Cash | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) Tango and Cash is at least active and acrobatic… not too bad. [Full review in Spanish] Jul 1, 2022 Full Review Tango & Cash | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Mike Massie Gone With The Twins 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.

Petar P Great movie, good story for the 80s and great perfoarmance! Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/07/23 Full Review Milos I You can find many flaws to this movie if you want, but for some reason I love it, probably because it gets me back to my childhood, some lines from the movie ("we're almost out of gas:)) stuck in my head for 20 years:) Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/16/23 Full Review Petros T An enjoyable buddy cop movie but not much more. The main attraction is surely the interplay between Sylvester Stallone, who unexpectedly puts his comedic chops to work with slightly mixed but certainly pleasant results, and Kurt Russell, who looks like a million bucks and steals the show with his swagger. It's no surprise that the bad guys are as formulaic as it gets and that the script is a hackneyed excuse for action set pieces, but at least the results are engaging and quite funny at times. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/03/23 Full Review Carlos T Minha opinião: Um filme que amamos e com certeza recorde de locação nas locadoras. Uma química que rolou muito bem entre Stallone e Russell. Onde temos um policial certinho Tango e outro todo louco Cash. Cada um era um departamento ao estilo de "Um Tira da Pesada" E essa química da certo neste filme. Os mafiosos para se livrar dos 2 policiais que atrapalham seus negócios tem uma idéia de embosca-los e que fossem presos. E isso acontece, eles são condenados. E para provar a inocência eles se unem e fogem da prisão. Nisso entra em cena a irmã de Tango Teri por quem Cash se apaixona. Kkkk E assim se torna um verdadeiro pega para capar. Um filme bem feito com ação, tiros e humor. Tudo na medida certa. Um filme gostoso de assistir mesmo nos dias de hoje. Roteiro e enredo bons.Vale apena assistir? Com certeza.Nota: 8,25 Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/03/23 Full Review The P I love this fun ass movie Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/19/23 Full Review Adam C If you can't understand how this movie is a classic for the genre, you don't deserve to be reviewing movies. Complete cheese, was meant to be, and hits it perfectly. No, it isn't a high brow art house movie, so if you're expecting anything but 80's cheese, you're a tosser. 5 cheeses out of five. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/29/22 Full Review Read all reviews
