ShangLuda Admirable film.

Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

henry oswald 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.

jotix100 In a way, having a Porsche in a city like Los Angeles is a clear invitation for car thieves to take them, as demonstrated in "No Man's Land", the 1987 film that has a look of a movie made for television. It's no wonder since its director and writer, Peter Werner and Dick Wolf, are veterans of the medium. Ron Howard is listed as a producer."No Man's Land" is worth a look because in spite of its flaws, because it shows an interesting aspect of the complex relationship between a police undercover cop and the young man who is the master mind in the car stealing robberies plaguing the city. The interaction between these two opposites is well played by the two leading actors, B. D. Sweeney, and Charlie Sheen.Charlie Sheen, gives a restrained performance here. In fact, this actor tends to go for intensity without the proper guidance of a good director. As the slick Ted Varrick, Mr. Sheen shows a subtle side that we don't see too often. B.D. Sweeney is also effective as the undercover man who falls for Ann, who happens to be Ted's sister. Mr. Sweeney has that clean look about him that makes him perfectly suited for the good natured Bill, the mechanic he pretends to be.Others faces in the film includes Lara Harris who plays Ann, the woman in love with the man hunting her own brother. Randy Quaid is seen briefly as Lt. Bracey, who is responsible for getting one of his men infiltrate the car stealing ring."No Man's Land" has the ubiquitous car chases and visual effects of pictures of this genre. The cinematography of Hiro Narita shows us a lot of Los Angeles shopping malls and high priced stores where the car thieves love to steal the Porsches.

George Parker "No Man's Land" tells of a rookie cop (Sweeney) who goes under cover by getting a job in a chop shop run by a slick yuppie-type small time crook (Sheen) with a beautiful sister (Harris). The film becomes somewhat interesting as friendship blossoms between Sweeney and Sheen and love between Sweeney and Harris testing Sweeney's allegiance to law and order. "NML" is a lukewarm production which soft-peddles its ordinary car chases, car crashes, and shootouts in deference to trying to build a more human story about the three principles with questionable success. Not a "sleeper", this is a very ordinary wide-awake flick which is barely worth the time.
