Summary: Good True Story
Review: This is a good movie based on a true story. Charlie sheen is thrown into an undercover situation with very little training - two people could blow his cover at any time. Some might find the bike-building scene as a distraction, but I liked it. I think the portrait of some of the nuances of biker groups was rich in detail. Only complaint is that the biker "babes" in the movie were not accurate. Come on we all know biker babes are hot (my Mom is a biker babe) but the ones in the movie were - let's say, "lacking". Another non-intended comic point was the redneck bar scene. Charlie storms into a bar filled with "the meanest rednecks you ever seen" and they are all wearing pressed oxfords and loafers. But maybe that's the way rednecks dress in AZ? Charlie plays this multi-dimensional character very well. Overall, a good story well told.

Summary: Best of the Best
Review: This is one of my favorite movies of all times. I refuse to loan the movie to other in fear of it not being returned. Charlie Sheen performance is one of his best ever. He portrays an undercover agent with the D/A's office who targets an outlaw motorcycle gang. Although it states the movie is fact based, I have been unsuccessful in locating any information on the actual event. If anyone has further info please contact me.

It is said that in the movie the real Daniel Saxon appears as an extra. I was informed that he is the deputy at the beginning of the movie who is the Sheriff's right hand man when Saxon (Sheen) is fired. He appears only a brief moment.

This movie is a must see !!! Those is law enforcement ie: narcotics and vice will be able to relate.

Summary: decent movie based on a true story
Review: This is probably the best biker gang-action movie. That's not saying a whole lot because most biker movies are kind of stupid. This one is a true story so it kind of makes this one more interesting. Michael Madsen is one of my favorite actors and he makes this movie worth watching as the leader of the biker gang. Dennis Berkley fits in perfect as one of the gang members. I wasn't too impressed with Charlie Sheen, though. His acting ability ranges somewhere between Erik Estrada and a turkey baster. He's just not my idea of an action hero. They should have got someone like William Forsythe to play the part of the undercover guy. He played a good biker gang member in Stone Cold. Beyond the Law is worth two hours of your time if you can overlook Charlie's bad acting and cheesey dialog.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: An Familiar film, which is Based on a True Story.
Review: When a young Police Officer (Charlie Sheen) has been ask by the FBI to be in a Undercover Duty to Pose in a Corrupted Motorcyvle Gang (Lead by Micheal Madsen), he`s the Stuff of Nightmares of Made of, and the Undercover Officer is Losing the Sight of Reality.

Directed by Larry Ferguson (Gunfighter`s Moon) made a Clever Action Drama, which this Based on a True Fact. Although, it`s a film been there done that. But the Performances from Sheen and Madsen is Worth Watching for. Grade:B.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE Best Biker Film to Date
Review: Where to begin?? Whilst this film didn't get the press coverage of 'in' Charlie Sheen films it certainly makes up for with plot! Charlie plays a troubled cop who's sent into the biker underworld to bring organised crime. Based on a true story, Sheen gives a fantastic performance as a gangland style biker with everything Harley Davidson fans could ever need (including how to build one, my favourite bit of the film). Just show to show how easy it is to get anything you want in America!
