Plot Summary:With its synth-pop soundtrack and Eurotrash attitude, No Mans Land is the slick 1987 equivalent of 2002s The Fast and the Furious. Instead of Asian-import rice rockets and hip-hop street gear, its 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 Varricks chop shop, and the predictable screenplay (by Dick Wolf of Law Order fame) asks all the expected questions Will Sweeneys loyalties turn? Will Varricks sister (vacuous newcomer Lara Harris) learn his true identity? Will Charlies hair remain perfectly groomed? The Faustian formula provides a few moments of standard suspense, and Sheens bemused remark about lifestyles of the rich and aimless carries a sharp note of retrospective irony. Otherwise, youre better off with an episode of Miami Vice.
