Sweeney, however, gives a better account of himself than Sheen in his role. [23 Oct 1987, p.A]
Rather than explore the promisingly dark relationship between Sweeney and
Sheen-or take advantage of a superior supporting cast that includes Quaid,
Bill Duke, Arlen Dean Snyder and M. Emmet Walsh-Werner and Wolf prefer to lose
themselves in short-term suspense sequences and elaborate car chases. It's
the kind of pointless action that helps kill time on television-where the
continuing format prohibits any deep resolution to character drama-but which,
in a movie, quickly turns dull and superfluous. [23 Oct 1987, p.G]
No Man's Land takes the showroom approach. It doesn't get its hands dirty. It embellishes what you'd see if you stood in the waiting room of a Porsche dealership and peered into the service bay. A little more grease is in order. [23 Oct 1987, p.3D]
It is surprisingly dull...Sheen and Sweeney appear dazed, or merely bored, throughout, as if they had ODd on the film's determined sleekness. The director, Peter Werner, is best known for his work on installments of Moonlighting. Alas, his TV roots are showing, and No Man's Land seems like nothing so much as a "special, two-hour episode" from the little screen. [29 Oct 1987, p.7]
