With its synth-pop soundtrack and Eurotrash attitude, No Man's Land is the slick 1987 equivalent of 2002's The Fast and the Furious. 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 Platoon and Wall Street. Fresh-faced D.B. Sweeney plays the undercover cop assigned to infiltrate Varrick's chop shop, and the predictable screenplay (by Dick Wolf of Law & Order 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 Miami Vice. --Jeff Shannon

 Classic Car movie February 24, 2009
Wii*Wolf (Valinda, CA United States)
For those who are a fan of Charlie Sheen and old porsches then this is for you. It has a feel of the Fast and the Furious, but it's very interesting. Cool cars and actors wo were very young.
 A Must See for Porsche Lovers!! July 9, 2007
William Aguillon (Florida)
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.

I enjoyed this movie thru and thru. Unpredictable and in the land of Los Angeles and Porsches.
Great fun! November 17, 2006

This is one of the great action film in 80's.
Unfortunately, it only comes with full screen version
and stereo surround. It does not have any extra such as
interview, deleted scines, nor making of.
I just have to say "What were you thinking MGM?
And yet now HD DVD and Blue Ray is started taking places so kinda wasting time complaing about it.....NOT!
The Movie That Brought Car Theft To Hollywood May 22, 2003
O'Conner (NY United States)
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
'No Man's Land', a high-octane drama from 1987 was another one of those movies that fell past the back burner to the floor behind the stove. Charlie Sheen fans flocked to this movie, and girls fell in love with a young DB Sweeney (The Cutting Edge)..but that kind of promotion takes away from what a good movie it is. Sure there are technical errors that people who sit glued to TV screens all day love to point out, but for us normal people who don't mind if a gun is on a table one second and then disappears the next...its' safe to say this movie laid substantial ground for the types of car chase movies there are today. Basil Poledouris' musical score is creepy, and the drama between Sheen and Sweeney is great as a young rookie detective who gets thrown into the mix of a slick car theif's (Charlie Sheen) world and finds that the worst mistake he makes...is making a friend. No doubt inspired by 'Miami Vice', 'The Boys Next Door' and even '48 HRS.', 'No Man's Land' is an exciting movie to see once and then never see again. I only say that because if you see it once and then forget about it, you'll never find yourself picking apart the plot or comparing it to today's trashy car-theft, car chase, car sex...blah blah blah movies usually thanks to directors of teenaged 'movie stars'. Rated R for a few uses of the F-word, mildly explicit violence and adult themes..'No Man's Land' earns the respect I have for movies like 'Lethal Weapon', 'Beverly Hills Cop' and 'The Karate Kid'. Once its' been done, its' almost impossible to do it just as well twice.
