Critic Reviews

Staff (Not Credited)

The progression from mutual suspicion to friendship may not be revelatory, but the performances (Fishburne, Stewart, Beach) are lively and Sheen's direction assured. Read full review

Empire Joanna Berry

Interesting father-and-son dynamic, though not particularly memorable in the long-term. Read full review

Michael Upchurch

The story has its possibilities, but inauthentic detail and uncertain directorial tone undermine it. [18 Jan 1991, p.23]

Lou Cedrone

Cadence is a bare-bones film. It needs more fill-in, but in spite of its gaps is entertaining and even a little provocative. It is a movie that says something positive about humankind, and there aren't that many films that do. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

CADENCE is watchable while it lasts, with a generous leavening of humor, but the film keeps throwing emotional punches that never quite connect. Read full review

Desson Thomson

Emotions in this film operate on a made-for-TV level; they don't engage you. Read full review

Peter Travers

Martin Sheen makes his directing debut with this military drama mixed with laughs. It isn’t awful — just bland, which is worse. Read full review
