Excellent but underrated film

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

For some reason, it took a grand total of FIVE screenwriters to make the script for this movie. But despite all these people working on the story, apparently none of them were able to make it interesting. It's a real slow-moving exercise; it feels like a script for a weekly television show stretched out to twice the length. And the various plot turns also come straight out of a clichéd and predictable television police show. But the script is just one of the problems with the movie. The two Sheens and Mark Dacascos are not used well - the Sheens can't seem to generate any chemistry in their scenes despite their real life relationship, and Dacascos doesn't get to use his real life martial art skills. Instead, the action is confined to shoot-out and car chases, which might have been okay had they been directed and edited in a professional manner, but they're not. In fact, they are surprisingly incompetently constructed. (Well, except for the exploding building at the climax - I admit that looked pretty cool.) And the whole package is directed by Bret Michaels in a way that not only makes everything look real cheap, also strangely hides anything that would show without doubt that the movie was actually shot in Arizona. In the end, the movie is a real disappointment from Millennium Films, who usually does a lot better than this.

Teaming the Sheen family together was not a bad idea and if you liked the great acting skills of this family, you will definitely enjoy seeing them act as a father and son on the police force. Charlie Sheen,(Jake Peterson) was a senior detective getting ready to retire and his son Martin Sheen,(Bill Peterson), was completely devoted to his job and neglected his beautiful sexy wife and daughter, Meredith Salenger,(Rebecca Peterson). There was a big scheme among the higher ups and a underworld gang which involved a group of characters who would just look at you and blow your head off. The boss of these real bad dudes was a very hot number, Tina Nguyen,(Shi) who had these guys doing anything she wanted and they just about licked her boots. In one scene, Shi got the hots for Rebecca Peterson and I was beginning to wonder just where this picture was going. Plenty of balls of fire and a classic mustang being feather dusted. As years past by, this film will become a classic, only because the Sheen Family both appeared together.

No Code of Conduct was a last ditch effort rented on a rainy night for my sick boyfriend who loves shoot em ups! We both really enjoyed this one and thought the Sheen's did an great job. The action scenes were great and the end scene with all the pyro was awesome. Glad we rented it.

This should have been a good film. Fine actors, a fair story line, violence and guns a plenty.I hope no-one in Law Enforcement sees this one.How did the Sheens get their police jobs? Incompetent doesn't describe their performances. I'm a big fan of shootouts, especially the John Woo style with vast expenditure of ammunition, but these were insultingly bad. Charlie does justify his appalling aim in a scene with his wife where he tells her that he is coming home to his family rather than spending time at the firing range. (He should have spent half the film there if you ask me)There is a scene where it occurs to me that someone had reduced the powder loads in their ammunition to the point that they bounce off car body panels at 5 metres. (This also explains why the guns jam, there isn't enough power to work the action)I could have done better. Even I could hit a van at 5 metres!Watching this will have you squirming with embarrassment for the Sheens, and wanting to help them shorten the film by an hour by actually aiming at things.
