Some things I liked some I did not.

It is a performances centric movie

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Each time I see this movie I enjoy it even more than I did the last time I saw it. The movie's idea is interesting, the conflict between the Sheens believable and well acted, and the supporting cast is excellent and a pleasure to watch. The story line is simple and to the point. Even the basic set works for me. And the music is so good that I continue to look from time to time to see if there is a CD available. (SOMEONE/ANYBODY PLESAE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS A CD and IF SO WHERE CAN I BUY IT). I believe that if you get a chance to watch this movie DO IT! you won't be disappointed. This movie will either make you cry, laugh, or get angry either way it's a good movie.

Why is this film so unknown ? It really deserves to be recognised as a great film along with the Nam films of the late 70s early 80s. To me it has quite a Nam feel to it, (the progression of the relationship between the inmates, and the constant battle with the higher ranks). Deterioration of character screams out "Apocalypse Now", but the team aspect shows a strong influence from films such as "Platoon". The film itself is set during the time of Nam, but can't be bracketed as one. Charlie Sheen has once again took part as the lead role in a great film. I can't see the film working with any other actor ! His cold manner, but warm heart is seen also in the classic "Platoon". All in all this film is a good modern story. Which I recommend to not only Vietnam film fans, but to a general audience.

This movie has it all; adventure, drama, humor and sorrow! They couldn't have gotten a better cast to fill the rolls. I have a question to those of you who are reading this. Does anyone know where I can find the (piano/lyrics) for the song "End of my journey" that the character "Sweetbread" sings in this movie? I love the song. Sweetbread is my favorite character! Thanks!!! Charlie Sheen gives one of his greatest performances in this movie. I love when he and his father work together. You never know how things are going to go. And with another family member in the movie as well, it was definitely interesting. My question is, "Where's the other siblings?" I thought that they might be going for the whole family thing there for a moment the first time that I saw it. LOL This movie will most definitely keep you interested. If you like the Military type movies than you will certainly enjoy this movie.

My Mom wanted me to see this. She said I'd love it. She was right.We got it from Netflix last year sometime. And let me tell you, I was nuts about that movie from the start. I'm a musical person in the first place, so the entire idea of prisoners in a stockade singing "Chain Gang" while they marched from point a to point b, tickled me. I love Charlie Sheen and Martin Sheen and while watching this movie discovered someone else that I love, James Marshall. He did such a great job in this movie. Everyone did. (Here's a tidbit, Charlie Sheen, Ramon Estevez (Charlie's brother, who played one of the guards) and James Marshall, Rob and Chad Lowe, Dean Cain, and a few other Hollywood Hotties all went to Santa Monica High together and graduated the same year!)I loved the way it was directed. I didn't see a single scene that looked like it didn't belong. Correct me if I'm wrong but, didn't Martin Sheen direct this? Anyway, if you haven't seen Cadence, do not hesitate to pick it up ANYWHERE you see it. Pick up 2 and send one to me! I haven't seen it in any video stores, but I'm looking for a good deal on the net.Enjoy Cadence and let me know what you think. You won't be disappointed!Missy............:)
