As punishment for drunken, rebellious behavior, a young white soldier is thrown into a stockade populated entirely by black inmates. But instead of falling victim to racial hatred, the soldier joins forces with his fellow prisoners and rises up against the insanely tyrannical and bigoted prison warden. Amazon.com: Martin Sheen's 1991 directorial debut features Sheen as the disturbed head of a military stockade where the prisoners include a troublemaking Army misfit played by his son Charlie. Private Bean (Charlie Sheen) is thrown into the stockade with a group of five blacks calling themselves the Soul Patrol, and gradually learns teamwork from the men, including their leader Stokes (Laurence Fishburne). Eventually the tug of war between Bean and the bigoted commander reaches a boiling point with tragic conclusions, and Bean learns the meaning of compassion and the difference between right and wrong. The film is nothing particularly inspiring or insightful, but the supporting players, including Fishburne, give solid performances, and Cadence affords the audience a chance to see the father and son team work together in an earnest and well-meaning drama. --Robert Lane Average Rating:
 Rating:  - cadenceThis is one of the best movies of all times. It was not very publisised, but i have loved this movie since i saw it for the first time back in 1991. Its a must see.

Bean's grief lead him to getting a tattoo on his hands, against military rule. He landed in a an all black stockade with a racist leader. Bean's most valuabe lessons came when he blended with the other inmates after a rocky start. This movie showed racism from an entirely different perspective - the Vietnam War. The inmates banded together, black and white, showing how circumstances such as war can take away ...

It has it's: slow moments, scenes that really don't add anything to the story, memorable lines, strong points. Basically, I'ld rent it before I bought it. Rating: - cadence purchasethe movie was clear and crisp just as if it just came out for the first time i recieved the movie quickly and packed excellently Rating: - CadenceI didn't get the video for myself. It was a gift for a friend, But I can honestly tell you, that I have seen the movie and it is a very good movie! Sometimes I wish I would have kept the movie for myself, but I had promised a friend I would give them the video as a gift. Browse for similar items by category:
