Jelisije J Charlie Sheen goes undercover in a biker gang and slowly becomes one of them. A movie that is corny and cheesy but to me is a poor mans version of Fast and Furious and Point Break. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/28/23 Full Review delysid d this movie is like a forgotten jewel found in the dust, so precious Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/17/21 Full Review Audience Member A very entertaining drama highlighted by the powerful performance of Sheen. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Based on a true story, this biker movie checks all the boxes a biker movie should. Very cliche but a decent biker movie. While the somewhat clunky style of 80's action movies shows at times, it also adds a level of realism that you don't see in the ‘all too smooth' action movies of today and that gives this movie something the movies of today don't have - charm. 3 of 5 Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was really good... Sheen & Madsen were truly great... showed how much range Charlie truly had. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Based on a true story, "Beyond The Law" or "Fixing The Shadow" centers on Daniel "Dan" Saxon (Charlie Sheen), a cop with a troubled childhood. He is enlisted by Conroy Price, an agent in Arizona's State Attorney General's office, to go undercover to bust the illegal drugs and arms trafficking. Saxon is unsuccessful until he meets and befriends Virgil, a mechanic who introduces him to the seedy world of outlaw bikers. Virgil tutors Saxon on bikes and customs of the outlaw motorcycle brotherhood. After many lessons and a major change in appearance Saxon develops an alter ego named Sid and ends up infiltrating the outlaw motorcycle brotherhood The Jackals and earning the trust of Blood (Michael Madsen), the president. At the same time, he begins a relationship with a photojournalist, Renee Jason (Linda Fiorentino), who is aware of his dual life. As Saxon falls deeper into this world of crime, he becomes more unbalanced and the question is just how far 'beyond the law' will Saxon go? "Beyond the Law" or "Fixing The Shadow" is a 1992 TV film, and well it does look like a tv film from several angles. I saw it when it came out and you have kind of forgotten that back then Charlie Sheen was an actor you would see anything with of some reason. The fact when looking back at his career makes you really realise that he has done some really shitty movies. And this is one of them. The acting is hardly up to scratch, the dramatisation is hardly up to scratch and with a Charlie Sheen in a beard/mullet looking high and out of it doesn´t exactly help the movie to some sort of believable level. Madsen does Madsen, no surprise there. But, the actual gem of the movie is the always stunning and great Linda Fiorentino. Had a crush on her for years, and I still do. To conclude "Beyond the Law" is hardly a must see, rather a don´t see. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
