The Cinema of Sheen

This occasional series devoted to the celluloid treasures of Charlie Sheen (born Carlos Irwin Estevez) begins with the acting legend’s starring role in the 1987 feature No Man’s Land. The young rapscallion, then a mere 22, portrays the leader of a car-thief ring in Los Angeles, with a rookie cop (D.B. Sweeney) attempting to bring him down. Law and Order creator Dick Wolf devised the scenario and Brad Pitt can be glimpsed in a bit part as a waiter, but everyone takes a back seat to the sheer intensity that has become a hallmark of Master Sheen’s work. No Man’s Land is available on MGM Home Entertainment.
