Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Drealmer 7.5 stars! While I can't say I've seen everything he's done, this certainly stands out to me as the best acting I've seen Charlie Sheen do. I can't help but be curious how accurate the portrayal of the character and story is (it's based on a true story), but given the nature of it, I don't see why they'd have to exaggerate or take license with anything.It may seem to start slightly expeditious, but it doesn't feel rushed once it gets going and, again, it's a true story and screen time is limited, so it really does a great job of setting everything up and getting the viewer into the bulk to the happenings and through them.Great atmosphere, well-paced. Raw and engaging. A good script and the directing is more than solid in every aspect (he gets TOPS out of all of the actors, the use of music and sound is outstanding, non-intrusive yet evocative camera work, etc.) It's somewhat minimalistic which allows the great acting backed by all of it to shine through. It almost feels like a play in the desert.If you've thought to yourself "eh, Charlie Sheen in some crime movie? looks like B-cheese I'll pass" or similar, you should re-consider. It's not easily-digestible crime-actionflick fare either.This movie is serious, dark, and kind of like a surprise hit in the gut if you aren't ready for it.
Shiva20 I love this movie. I have seen some reviews now that say its a guy movie. Well i'm a girl and i love it. The story is great. Besides the action there is a good and emotional story to it.When you meet the character of Charlie sheen its kinda hard to read him, but as the movie passes you get to know him and see how hard it must be to life like that. It's a complete story where you get drawn in to the hard decisions, hard life and love of it all. Good VS bad is an understatement or this movie, it is much more then that. Because what makes good good and bad bad? Decide for yourself.I know it under the title fixing the shadow. (The title of the DVD i own on this movie). You have to have seen it!
slshusker This is a great movie for the guys. Surf through late night movies on your cable package and boom, here's this movie. I can't change the channel no matter where part of the movie is showing. Sheen plays it to the hilt. His acting chops took a licking for some bad movies; this is one of his best. Sit back, open a brewski or six and enjoy.Linda Fiorentino was an excellent piece of eye candy! Read that again and you'll agree.Based on true events, the movie runs through character development and plot expansion. I can't get enough of this. Add the Dukes of Hazard type side kick and the cast is complete. It's showing now, so I have to get back to it, after one of the numerous shootings and bar fights.
pegman-1 Seeing the words "realistic", "fantastic", etc ad nauseam in conjunction with this movie or Charlie "The Sleepwalker" Sheen's performance makes me wonder why I was the only person who didn't receive free drugs with the movie's rental. Plot has more holes than Swiss cheese & special effects are like most movies nowadays - poor because computer generation cannot recreate the excitement of actual crashes of "REAL" vehicles. Madsen plays Madsen which in itself is not bad and Sheen, well he at least tries in this movie but I'd rather be dragged kicking & screaming to the ballet than sit through this mess again.
