Review of No Man's Land

No Man's Land (1987)
5/10
Ordinary Hollywood action/drama
27 October 2001
"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.
