A Masterpiece!

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

'Law and Order' creator Dick Wolf is the writer and co-producer of this reasonably entertaining movie that gets by thanks to good performances and well done action scenes. At its core is the relationship between a cop and his target, as the former goes undercover in the latter's garage to try to obtain any sort of proof that his new buddy is responsible for the murder of a detective. The trouble, Benjy Taylor (D.B. Sweeney), the cop, realizes that he *enjoys* stealing cars and likes his target, Ted Varrick (Charlie Sheen) just a little too much. What's more, he finds himself falling for the friends' sister (Lara Harris).The age of the protagonist (22) does add an interesting wrinkle into the plot: not really that mature, Benjy is young enough that he allows his focus to be blurred, and has to be reminded by an angry supervisor, Vincent Bracey (Randy Quaid) what his mission is supposed to be. Also, what worked best for this viewer was the fact that Benjy and Ted become good enough friends, that, even faced with knowledge about the other, they don't want to believe the worst.Wolf and director Peter Werner take their time telling this story, but viewers should still take delight in the pulse pounding action scenes and the cars on display (Ted and his crew are especially fond of Porsches.) The two stars do fine work. Sweeney has the right amount of likability and naivety in his role, and Sheen does nice understated work as a guy whom the audience themselves may like enough to have doubts as to Ted being a killer. Quaid delivers an intense performance as the hard driving Bracey. An excellent supporting cast helps matters a lot, although the movie makes an awful waste of M. Emmet Walsh, who only turns up towards the end. (Jenny Gago, too, barely appears despite her prominent billing.) But Bill Duke is good, as is Arlen Dean Snyder as a crooked detective and R.D. Call as a thuggish competitor. Other familiar faces that appear include Linda Shayne, Claude Earl Jones, Florence Schauffler, Guy Boyd, Henry G. Sanders, and Gary Riley. Appearing uncredited are George Dzundza as Uncle Mike and a young Brad Pitt, in one of his earliest films, as a waiter.Overall, a slick, pleasant diversion.Seven out of 10.

This is one of Ron Howard's first movies as a director, if not the first. There is little wonder why he has become so popular.I have watched No Man's Land in excess of 20 times. It is still one of my favorites. It has a solid cast, an excellent script, and great car chase scenes (with Porsches) that make this movie a winner.Do yourself a favor and watch it. The cars and music are dated but, like watching Bullitt with Steve McQueen, the movie is well put together so you just get absorbed in along with the characters.Charlie Sheen is charismatic and exiting. Brad Pitt apparently is in the movie as a waiter, but I have yet to notice him. Maybe I'll throw it in again and see if i can spot him.

I will preface this by saying I am an '88 Porsche 930 Turbo owner here. That's the silver car in the chase scene with the Camaro. Biased opinion I'll admit. I think this movie pretty much holds it's own as far as the story line goes. I love it, being a Porsche fanatic.D.B. Sweeney is perfect in this role. Outside of Platoon, I think this is the best Charlie Sheen. But, let's face it. The star of this movie is the drop dead sexy Porsche 911! "The Fast And The Furious" completely stole from this movie. They substituted hopped up Hondas and Mazdas for the Porsches.If you are looking for my opinion, watch this movie. If you want a good story line, great driving scenes, this is your movie.If you are a Porsche fan, you probably have already watched this 100 times like me!
