charlie, 51, took to his instagram on thursday to share a throwback image from no man' s land featuring a surprise appearance from brad pitt .
as for no man’s land; i idolised that movie during the 1980’s, studying all the 911’s in the film. i always loved the early 911 that overtakes sweeney’s character on his way to his first day on the job as an under cover mechanic. take a look at it !
while sheen comes from hollywood pedigree, with his dad being martin sheen, he was still relatively new to the industry. he had appeared in red dawn and lucas, with a small cameo in ferris bueller’s day off, but he was still pretty obtainable for a film with a modest budget. the studio was able to lock him into no man’s land, but released the film in 1987 after another film charlie appeared in had already come out. that film was oliver stone’s platoon which launched sheen into superstardom, followed by stone’s wall street. had no man’s land not already been worked out prior to platoon, werner doubts they would have been able to get him for the role .

'' no man' s land'' was shown as part of the 1985 new york film festival. following are excerpts from vincent canby' s review, which appeared in the new york times oct. 5, 1985. the film opens today at the public theater, 425 lafayette street .
not for nothing is the film titled'' no man' s land,'' which, of course, refers not only to the strip of land between the french and the swiss customs stations, through which the characters are constantly passing, but also to their states of mind .
a box office dud back in 1987, no man' s land is actually a very good crime drama / action movie that somehow never got the attention it deserved. it' s an entertaining flick, with a strong cast and some good ol' 80' s action that fans of that period of filmmaking should enjoy. recommended .
no man' s land was apparently a major influence on at least the first the fast and the furious film and as such my reasoning for not having watched any of them yet seems even stronger. this is an absolute drag of a film that wrings almost no entertainment out of a plot that has been the centrepoint of many enjoyable films down the decades .
other features include audio commentary by steve mitchell, the producer / director of king cohen, and also with film historian nathanial thompson. there is also a series of trailers from kino lorber film releases. no man’s land is presented in color, 1. 85: 1, and 1920x1080p. run time is 106 minutes .
it’s called freedom (1982). another worthy australian film was “running on empty” .
director peter werner has largely been regulated in his career to being a director of television and the occasional television movie. before this, however, he headed up a feature film named no man’s land. this film was the story of an undercover cop who comes to like the criminal underworld he is supposed to be bringing down. in the wake of the gritty television series, miami vice, no man’s land tried to find a place in that vein. with a script from dick wolf, writer of television’s law & order and some episodes of miami vice even, they definitely had the foundation to accomplish this. with a strong cast, and some good timing, no man’s land was a modest success and today is a great time capsule into the look and feel of the excess of the 1980’s .
no man' s land (1987). charlie sheen, d. b. sweeney and randy quaid star in this full - throttle thriller about an undercover cop who' s tempted to go bad when he enters the seductive, fast - and - furious world of the underworld kingpin he was sent to bust. also stars: lara harris, bill duke & m. emmet walsh. directed by peter werner. release date: october 23, 1987
no man' s land is no cinematic masterpiece, but it is surprising it didn' t get at least a moderate reception at the box office in 1987. it' s also a bit shocking that it hasn' t even really become much of a cult favorite over the years. but now might be the chance to change that. if you' re a fan of 80' s action fare, give this one a look - it' s worth your time .

modern audiences will of course look on the film’s aesthetic as “dated”, but no man’s land is a great time capsule of what the 1980’s looked and felt like. the fashions, cars, music, and vibe are all there. while it won’t be as iconic as miami vice, it is in that neighborhood in terms of how it captures the time it portrays .
no man' s land was shot on 35mm film and is presented here in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1. 85: 1. transfers are often hit or miss on kino lorber titles, since a huge percentage of the time (read: almost always) kino has to use the transfer provided by said studio, and has no say in its quality .
the film' s plot is so merciless and meticulous that it has pertinent things to say about any institution; it could be remade as a thriller about the corporate world. it' s perhaps kubrick' s definitive statement about how systems tend towards psychopathy; where later, more

films hid behind irony or elaborate art direction, this is a young man' s film, incandescent with rage at the world it depicts. even the trademark bravura camerawork – the extraordinary tracking shots along the trenches or across no man' s land – has a fierce purpose .

no man' s land is the 80' s version of fast and furious, sure it looks a bit dated but it filled with action all the way. it' s easy to see why charlie sheen was such a big star. the party scene with all the 80' s fashion dates but so what it' s still a cool movie, lots of fun .

no man’s land features a charlie sheen when he was still young, and considered a serious dramatic actor. two years later, he would appear in major league and then do a series of comedies like hot shots, men at work, and his series spin city and two and a half men. while most know him, in more recent times, simply for his excessive life filled with strippers, playmates, tiger’s blood and # winning, and now tragically aids, sheen’s turn in no man’s land as a man fictionally living the type of life he would later be known for in real life, is an important part of seeing this film’s relevance 30 years later. also, look for a couple of brief glimpses of a very young brad pitt working as an extra in the scene .
tell me if this sounds familiar to you. a rookie cop gets his first break: to infiltrate and expose an underground criminal empire, then gets in too deep and forgets which side he' s really on. no, i' m not talking about the fast and the furious or point break. i' m talking 1987' s no man' s land of course. never heard of it? well, don’t be ashamed. even yours truly had nearly forgotten about it until the opportunity to review it popped up .
no man' s land is a forgotten film from 1987 that stars d. b. sweeney, charlie sheen, and one of the best (and most blatant) product placements for pepsi that you' ll find in a movie. yes, it' s that kind of film, serious and fun at the same time - a mix of hard - edged crime - drama and good ol' practical action pieces and stunts. it' s also the kind of movie that really doesn' t get made anymore, which makes re - discovering (or, for many of you i' m guessing, discovering for the first time) this film on blu - ray such a blast .

kino lorber has given no man’s land the blu - ray treatment and features a blu - ray disc with several extras that make this a noteworthy purchase for fans of the film. featured in the kino lorber release are interviews with d. b. sweeney, and a separate interview with director peter werner. what you learn, especially from werner, is how timing played an important role in locking up charlie sheen into the role .
while not miami vice, this 1980’s film captures the times perfectly with a crime drama starring charlie sheen and d. b. sweeney .

a predictable but not - bad thriller that didn' t do much business in the fall of 1987 but has some points of interest for something that' s pretty much fallen through the cracks over the years .
if you like porsche cars and hate italian trash, then this is the film for you .
audio commentary by steven mitchell, producer – director king cohen & film historian nathaniel thompson - this was an interesting interview style commentary. obviously, thompson loves this film and loves the 80' s la setting. this film doesn' t scream la to me, but it is interesting how he draws the setting out of the movie .
after various skirmishes, two wounded soldiers, one bosnian and one serb, confront each other in a trench in the no man' s land between their lines. they wait for dark, trading insults and even finding some common ground; sometimes one has the gun, sometimes the other, sometimes both. things get complicated when another wounded bosnian comes to, but can' t move because a bouncing mine is beneath him. the two men cooperate to wave white flags, their lines call the un (whose high command tries not to help), an english reporter shows up, a french sergeant shows courage, and the three men in no man' s land may or may not find a way to all get along .
the only real giveaway is peter sellers' s tour - de - force triple performance as british buffoon, american president and the titular germanic genius, which tips events into the farce promised by the film' s ace subtitle. look closely – the character names; those suggestive shots of mid - air refuelling – and it' s obvious this is a film about sex. after all, what else are men to do but use their big weapons to overcompensate for sexual dysfunction? no wonder the film culminates in the ultimate climax .

like many movies of its day, no man' s land is elevated from typical movie fare by a strong supporting cast. not only do we get randy quaid as a police lieutenant, but there' s also bill duke as the owner of the porsche shop, r. d. call as the leader of a rival car theft operation, an uncredited george dzundza as benjy' s father, and the great m. emmet walsh (of whom roger ebert once said ,
no movie with m. emmet walsh in a supporting role can be altogether bad
) in a cameo as a police captain. these actors come and go from the film, but make it immensely watchable .
watching the special features for no man' s land, everyone involved talked about how they were so proud of this being a genre film, and how rare they are today. i agree, they are rare today. but there is a difference between a good or not so good genre film, and this is most definitely the latter. it' s an archetype that other, better films used to greater success. d. b. sweeney seems like a down to earth guy who knows a great deal about the industry, but here he is so much younger, inexperienced, and it hurts the film because he is our guide into this world. honestly, i would have loved to see this world through ted' s eyes. how interesting would it have been to see things through the criminal' s point of view and seeing benjy' s reveal as a cop to be a surprise. think of how different that would feel. unfortunately, that is not what we were given, and the quality of the disc isn' t any great shakes either. if you are the one person who is pining for no man' s land to finally hit blu - ray, then go for it. for everyone else, skip this limp installment of a genre that only gets better from here .
it' s the most difficult film to place in the kubrick canon, given its initially hostile reception and its status as the great director' s posthumous swansong. impossibly hyped at the time as an art - porn film starring hollywood' s golden couple, tom cruise and nicole kidman, there was an inevitable groan of anticlimax at its frosty, remote lack of titillation .
the climax of the movie is fascinating, in the way it uses a really corrupt cop to create a situation in which the two friends are faced with the consequences of their actions. by the end of the film, sweeney and sheen both possess all of the facts, and in a way they both understand all of the facts. they think there must be a way they can work this thing out. but maybe there isn' t. like the film noir thrillers of the 1940s ,
no man' s land
is about ordinary people with flawed characters, who fall to temptation and pay for it .
no man' s land
is better than the average thriller because it is interested in those moral questions - in the way money and beautiful women and fast cars look more exciting than good police work. the screenplay, by dick wolf, is subtle in the way it develops its temptations for sweeney. he is seduced by sheen' s style and flash. and sheen creates his character as a very complicated young man. true, he' s rich, and doesn' t need to steal and kill. but like the members of that billionaire boy' s club out in los angeles, he is attracted to risk. and eventually he gets way in over his head .
you' re not going native, are you ?
he asks. he' s right; the kid hasn' t been on the force long enough to develop good police instincts, and he falls under the influence of the charismatic sheen. that leads him into a no man' s land, halfway between the criminals and the law, and as he tries to do the right thing and juggle his conflicting loyalties, a tragic situation begins to develop .

no man' s land hits the gas and blows a gasket on blu - ray with a 1080p mpeg - 4 avc encode that simply feels inconsistent and a bit lackluster. take clarity, for instance. on one hand, we have daytime close ups, which are reasonably well done with a decent amount of clarity and detail, while wider, more establishing shots appear to be murky with very little of that same clarity and detail .

thus, what we have here is an all - too - explicit metaphor that traps mr. tanner' s drama as effectively as his characters are trapped by their lives. once you' ve understood the title, there' s no place for the film to go that you can' t anticipate long before the gloomy, none - too - bright young characters .

as such, the film is very calculated in its shock value and sermonising; you might say its neatly circular narrative runs like clockwork. it speaks volumes that the film' s definitive image (mcdowell, eyes agape at the terrors he' s forced to watch but unable to look away) came to pass. while mcdowell was nearly blinded for art, the rest of us had the option to close our eyes until kubrick made the switch from anarchist to authoritarian by withdrawing the film and removing our free will .
built in the early 1950s in the middle east by the united nations, aqabat - jaber, located on the dead sea in the valley of jericho, is one of the many refugee camps destined to shelter the palestinians driven away from their native villages by the israeli army. the majority of the 65, 000 people living in the camp were inhabitants of the villages of central palestine destroyed in 1948. the 1967 war forced the biggest part of the refugees (some estimate a rate of 95 %) across the banks of the river jordan. nurtured on the hope of going back one day to the land of their ancestors, the people in aqabat - jaber live in a no man’s land that looks like a ghost town. filmed in 1987, a mere few months before the first intifada – the palestinian uprising in the west bank and the gaza strip – broke out ,

love cars, love porsche' s then you will love this film, db sweeney and charlie sheen are great, the car chases are great, one of the stunts with a car going through a lorry was at the time of filming so good it gained an award and there is no blue screen filming at all everything is real and it shows. if you love cars, and a little romance as well, then this is for you, no its not a block buster, but then it wasnt meant to be, its just a great film about the best cars in the world - porsche' s - what more is there to say .
it' s apt that a film best known for its cry of solidarity –
i' m spartacus !
– should be attached to kubrick' s least typical film, made within the hollywood system at the behest of star / producer kirk douglas. inevitably, kubrick would later disown spartacus as hackwork, but it remains proof that he could handle a big budget and deliver a hit movie without dumbing down .

nowadays, though, the film' s slow - burning tantric qualities are beginning to assert themselves. hypnotically slow, strange and sometimes (deliberately) silly, it is unmistakably kubrickian, but this old master offers as satirical a vision as the same year' s youthful fight club .
how many talented actors does it take to steal a porsche? and how many times do you want to watch them do it in the space of an hour and a half? in'' no man' s land,'' it takes two - charlie sheen and d. b. sweeney, who pilfer porsches faster and more often than you can say'' miami vice clone.'' though set in los angeles, the film has a familiar, television look and feel - two handsome partners, cops, criminals, fast cars and a marginal romance. the twist in the buddy - car - chase formula is that here the good guys tend to blur into the bad .

it would work brilliantly as a serious film; indeed, sidney lumet' s fail - safe, released shortly afterwards, achieved exactly that. yet strangelove remains mesmerisingly wrong, achieving a crackle of lunacy via ken adam' s lavish, hyperreal sets, reportage - style shooting and editing that rivals any conventional thriller .
kino lorber trots no man' s land onto blu - ray with a dts - hd ma 2. 0 track that requires very little effort. this is a stereotypical 80' s flick, with fast cars and cheesy music, and i wanted to immerse myself in that cheesy deliciousness. unfortunately, that is not what we are given, and it leaves quite a bit to be desired. sure, dialogue is clear and audible, and speaker separation is fine, but i have come to expect more in 2017. i have reviewed a whole slew of audio mixes like this with a lazy 2. 0 track, but i think this is the most recent film to get the treatment. it wouldn’t have been difficult to give us at least a 5. 1 track here, and for that, i can' t help being more than a little underwhelmed .
the pair become fast friends and over time taylor starts idolizing both varrick and his new life as a car thief, not to mention the extras that accompany it including spending time with varrick’s sister. the line between upholding the law and crossing it into the underworld subculture soon become very blurred, when taylor finds himself in his own no man’s land considering just what side he should be on. that being said, the whole plot is a pretty classic, but well worn one since the beginning of storytelling time, that of the outsider seduced by a subculture. fast cars, fine women, over - priviledged kids, and cops crossing over the thin blue line are at their cliched best. and probably not treated as well again until the fast and the furious, which almost seems to be a clone of this film, only substituting japanese hondas and toyotas for german porsches .

no man' s land benjy taylor (d. b. sweeney) is a rookie cop who goes undercover to nab a gang of car thieves in this routine crime drama. taylor salivates over the lifestyle and money enjoyed by ted varrick (charlie sheen), the smooth operator who leads the porsche pilferers, and he reports back to lieutenant vincent bracey (randy quaid), who is convinced ted is a cop killer but needs more proof. taylor joins the gang and begins to justify car theft and the money it brings as gathering evidence. soon his reasoning is clouded and the rookie cop gets in deeper when he actually begins to like ted and the suspect' s sultry sister ann (lara harris). ~ dan pavlides, rovi

in other words, 49 years since its release and 18 since its maker passed away, this is one puzzle that still invites solving – playful, preposterous and pioneering. whatever you think of the film' s wtf ending, this was never about the destination but the journey, as indeed was kubrick' s whole career: an attempt to reshape cinema at every turn .

the good news is that this is a pretty solid transfer. there' s still a lot of dirt and debris on the print (particularly during the opening credits), but color reproduction is great, details are impressive throughout, and there' s still a healthy amount of grain on the print, an indication that any dnr use on the image was mild, at best. black levels are far from inky - deep, but they' re good enough that shadow delineation and noise aren' t issues in the dark and / or nighttime sequences of the film. this is by no means a fantastic transfer, but as kino lorber releases go, this is one of the better ones i' ve seen and viewers should have no major complaints .
though randy quaid, as benjy' s boss, gives a perfunctory lecture about the difference between right and wrong, the film' s heart is clearly with the enticing ted. as he drives off in a porsche owned by someone with hopeless, easy - listening taste in music, he tosses a jack jones cassette out the window and says,'' they deserve it.''
it is impossible to separate a clockwork orange from the furore that erupted upon its release and kubrick' s subsequent decision to withdraw the film from circulation, at least in britain. the notoriety has made this a transgressive classic, but it has to be said the unavailability certainly helped its reputation .

and who is his more charismatic but criminal counterpart? who is the patrick swayze to sweeney’s keanu? charlie sheen is ted varrick, the leader of our carjacking gang, and i have to say he does a pretty damn good job selling this here. in this role, you see why he was so highly regarded when he was younger, because at the time he actually brought a lot to his roles. he is the only actor in no man' s land who has any onscreen presence. if stealing dvd players was a ridiculous criminal act for vin diesel, then a garage owner by day, carjacker by night is equally ridiculous for sheen. but like diesel, sheen handles the material with heft and charisma. sheen carries the relationship of ted and benjy on his back, and it seems a little more believable when they are sharing the screen together .

the car chase scene between the silver porsche and the blue camaro contains many inconsistencies. the porsche' s left rear passenger window disappears and reappears between shots before the scene where the camaro passenger destroys it with a shotgun. before the climax of the chase, the camaro' s front end is damaged, but there are no scenes showing how it got damaged during the scene. see more »

d. b. sweeney plays our lead protagonist as the incredibly bland benjy tayler. he' s a cop that happens to know everything about cars, so he is a perfect choice to take down a gang of mechanics who boost cars in their spare time. if that seems like a silly version of a popular plot device, don’t worry, that is the least of the problems here. sweeney doesn’t have the presence of a keanu or even paul walker, and that is saying something. though he is still working in the industry today, he has the screen presence of a block of wood here. absolutely nothing that happens in no man' s land causes sweeney to let go of the soulless look on his face. at this point in his career, sweeney should be playing a couch potato smoking a dooby, not in this role, to the detriment of the movie .

the only audio track (other than the commentary track) on this release is an english 2. 0 dts - hd master audio track, and it' s surprisingly decent given the stereo limitations. there' s a good amount of separation and distinctness between the two speakers, with a lot of back and forth playfulness with both the movie' s synthesized soundtrack (by composer basil poledouris) and with some gunplay that takes place in the movie. dialogue is clear (if not always crisp), and viewers / listeners should have no issues discerning the spoken word. all in all, a solid aural presentation .

in his third film, kubrick established himself as a vital new voice in cinema – and given how epic his running times would become, the killing' s leanness remains startling. this tale of a daring racetrack robbery is noir stripped to the bone: a terse, tense heist picture defined by the fatalism of its looping chronology, forever repeating the action until the characters become trapped in the grooves .

if you like films like gone in sixty seconds and the fast and the furious you will love this classic 80s film. the plot in a nutshell is charlie sheen is a guy who runs a porsche garage and steals them to add to his collection and wealthy and extravagant lifestyle. he unknowlingly befriends an under cover cop who takes up a role fixing porsches in sheen' s garage to get closer to sheen. the friendship grows but the cop must take sheen down. full of drama and a great chase scene this film is very watchable. although the porsches are very dated by today' s standards that doesn' t matter if you are a sports car fan as they still look good and if you are a porsche fan too. good picture and sound quality from this dvd recording. well worth buying in my opinion .

37 this mechanism was characterised by christopher caes, analysing speed: when women appear in the film or when somebody talks about them, they perform a specific function, namely their presence or just a mention about them arouses male desire but then they disappear quickly or their absence is strongly underlined, depriving the desire, already aroused, of its traditional object (widowiska katastroficzne: trauma historyczna i męska podmiotowość we wczesnych filmach andrzeja wajdy, trans. ch. caes, z. batko, in: filmowy świat andrzeja wajdy, ed. e. nurczyńska - fidelska, p. sitarski, universitas, kraków 2003, p. 149). in wajda’s work this mechanism may be seen not only in speed, but also in other films, including the promised land .
