With its synth-pop soundtrack and Eurotrash attitude, <I>No Man's Land</I> is the slick 1987 equivalent of 2002's <I>The Fast and the Furious</I>. Instead of Asian-import "rice rockets" and hip-hop street gear, it's got Armani suits and Porsches--the latter being the specialty of ace car thief Ted Varrick, played by Charlie Sheen in a trashy break between the successes of <I>Platoon</I> and <I>Wall Street</I>. Fresh-faced D.B. Sweeney plays the undercover cop assigned to infiltrate Varrick's chop shop, and the predictable screenplay (by Dick Wolf of <I>Law & Order</I> fame) asks all the expected questions: Will Sweeney's loyalties turn? Will Varrick's sister (vacuous newcomer Lara Harris) learn his true identity? Will Charlie's hair remain perfectly groomed? The Faustian formula provides a few moments of standard suspense, and Sheen's bemused remark about "lifestyles of the rich and aimless" carries a sharp note of retrospective irony. Otherwise, you're better off with an episode of <I>Miami Vice</I>. <I>--Jeff Shannon</I>
Viewer Reviews
Good acting, goo damount of action, ok, but preditable plot. Charlie Sheen and D.B. Sweeny must share the screen with the real stars. The various Porsches. My favorite is the black 930 Turbo slant nose, gorgeous!! As an owner of an 1987 911 Carrera, I am a bit biased towards this movie, but even for non Porsche lovers, it is a pretty good flick.
