A Sheen family 'Tour De Force'
Review date: 2004-09-19 Rating: 8 out of 10
Mostly for Sheen fans, with three of the family embroiled in this effort, if you do not rate the sheen family for acting you had better stick to what you know. Here we have Charlie his dad Martin and his (full blood) brother Ramone (Martin's third son).
A story which incorporates Human struggle, taking sides, despair and anguish and triumph with simple values of human kinship. Almost a prequel to 'Platoon' with Charlie experiencing the difficulties of army life in the stockade before being shipped out to Viet Nam. If you liked the comradship feel of that film then this is a bit of a sad tale of morale values with a particularly sad scene at the end that is on the same wavelength. A NON action film full of sob story comradarie!
High-lites include an alternative 'soul Patrol' march and a drunkard Charlie trying to dance whilst shouting.;
"I've got tatoos on my hands Pa, where they show, I'm taking it back Dad I'm taking it all back!
Top notch stuff.
