philthegreatone-786-63058 This is a fun film with Charlie Sheen playing a guy who likes to steal cars. He gets involved with a guy he doesn't know is an undercover cop. There are some cool scenes in this film and the music is great.I had some fun with this film and it reminds you of how great some shoot out scenes can beI recommend this film for fans of CharlieGreat fun and direction. I watched this on MGM last night and enjoyed itCharlie was great in these roles at this age for example Platoon and Wall StHe is a better dramatic actor than people give him credit for

tpaladino Once again I've got to say thank you to my Netflix 'recommended' queue, because thus far it's let me to several great movies that I never knew existed, including this one. This was a truly good movie, with a fantastic storyline, great acting and a lot of style. Charlie Sheen turns in a terrific, understated performance, which makes you sadly recall that at one time he was a gifted young actor with a promising future ahead of him, and not an out of control bipolar freak of nature. This movie actually fell right in the middle of his golden period; shortly after 'Platoon' and just before 'Wall Street' and 'Young Guns'. He was pretty clearly at the top of his game. The rest of the cast did wonderfully as well, especially D.B. Sweeney who handled the lead role admirably, and the incredibly beautiful and talented Lara Harris, who deserves far more work in Hollywood than she's gotten. The only character who seemed out of place was Randy Quaid as the no-nonsense lieutenant, but that's only because I've become so used to seeing him in goofball roles that it's now a bit jarring when he's serious.I definitely enjoyed this film, and any fan of the police/thriller genre will surely enjoy it as well, as will fans of the time period in general. I'm glad I didn't pass this one over.

radicus I agree with most of the positive comments on this film. I also waited ages to see this. My wife was an extra in one of the mall parking lot scenes and I was with her on the shoot (She was also in Less than Zero, ah those were the days). I never bought the video as I was waiting for a widescreen version which never came out. Then I happened to catch in on MGM HD on directTV recently. It surely has stood the test of time. It's like a well stored vintage wine, more tasty for having been locked away. Sheen as a Dean-like forerunner of his over the top real life and TV sitcom persona, is excellent. Sweeney is like Duchovny, brilliant in his understatedness. Even the listless sister adds to the increasing and uneasy chemistry that develops between the 3. I bought it.Needless to say, the action is tight and gripping. I've cruised Mulholland in a Porsche, and take out of town relatives there to sightsee so I may be biased, heheh... The HD transfer was luminous and film-like perfection. A plus was the 80's soundtrack featuring a live appearance by The Untouchables, an early Ska local band! What more can I say? Yes the movie does has Law and Order written all over it,but ah, what a episode! If you enjoy the slower paced movies of the golden era, this one won't disappoint.

raidermike72 I will preface this by saying I am an '88 Porsche 930 Turbo owner here. That's the silver car in the chase scene with the Camaro. Biased opinion I'll admit. I think this movie pretty much holds it's own as far as the story line goes. I love it, being a Porsche fanatic.D.B. Sweeney is perfect in this role. Outside of Platoon, I think this is the best Charlie Sheen. But, let's face it. The star of this movie is the drop dead sexy Porsche 911! "The Fast And The Furious" completely stole from this movie. They substituted hopped up Hondas and Mazdas for the Porsches.If you are looking for my opinion, watch this movie. If you want a good story line, great driving scenes, this is your movie.If you are a Porsche fan, you probably have already watched this 100 times like me!
