Time Out Feb 9, 2006
There's no real feel for period (the mid-'60s), and that dull Sheen psychodrama doesn't go away. Go to Full Review

1.5/4
There is no indication that Mr. Sheen ever yelled "Cut!" when he had a chance to send one of his actors over the top. Go to Full Review
Desson Thomson Washington Post Jan 1, 2000
Emotions in this film operate on a made-for-TV level; they don't engage you. Go to Full Review

Albus W Mar 8, 2019 This movie is soooooooo amazing. So few people know about it. Charlie Sheen's best film. The really sad thing is that Harry "Sweet" Stewart never got noticed. His singing was a big part of the movie with End Of My Journey. A actor who was superb as well. Sadly ended up homeless. I saw this when I was very young and have watched it many times since wearing out a recorded vhs tape and owning the subpar dvd import as you can't find a copy in the states. See more
