I love this movie. I have seen some reviews now that say its a guy movie. Well i'm a girl and i love it. The story is great. Besides the action there is a good and emotional story to it.When you meet the character of Charlie sheen its kinda hard to read him, but as the movie passes you get to know him and see how hard it must be to life like that. It's a complete story where you get drawn in to the hard decisions, hard life and love of it all. Good VS bad is an understatement or this movie, it is much more then that. Because what makes good good and bad bad? Decide for yourself.I know it under the title fixing the shadow. (The title of the DVD i own on this movie). You have to have seen it!

I would just like to say that Beyond the Law is in my opinion Charlie Sheens best movie. I have watched this numerous times, and coming from that type of Lifestyle, all I can say is take a long hard look, this movie is as real as it gets. I would also like to say that believe me, there are short bikers out there and they can kick butt right along with the rest of them. Its a shame that Sheen didn't get the recognition that he should of for this movie. It shows that he can be a dramatic actor right along with the best of them. He played the role of Dan Saxon better than anyone could, and I take my hat off to him. This is a movie that I own and truly appreciate.

This movie was better than I anticipated.I actually thought it was classic.If you are a sucker for the Biker Gang stuff: Girls, Money, Drugs, Guns, Killing type of atmosphere, this is for you.I didn't think it was that cheesy, it kept it's seriousness in it as it continued it got deeper and deeper.When it started and I saw that Charlie Sheen was the main actor I was somewhat suspect with him in this type of roll, but he did one hell of a job.He is a cop who goes undercover into a Biker Gang to try and get them to sell him narcotics.But as he continues to try to get closer he gets deeper and deeper into it, so deep that he has turned into more of a biker than a cop, and while this is all happened his deep secrets as a child haunt him to come back and play into the movie.I would recommend watching this is you already haven't.

Charlie Sheen plays Dan Saxon, a small town deputy who is fired and recruited by the Arizona Attorney General's office, Special Investigation Division (SID) to go undercover to gather evidence of illegal activities of outlaw motorcycle gangs. At first he is a complete failure until he meets Virgil, a Harley mechanic who helps him transform himself into a biker. Dan Saxon takes on the aka of SID and infiltrates the Jackals, the local OMG. No film would be complete without a love interest and Sid finds it in Renee Jason, a photo journalist who is writing a book on OMGs. She's hot and they hook up. Throughout the film, Saxon struggles to maintain his identity as he becomes more immersed in his undercover operation. I rented this movie then immediately went out and bought it. It has great scenes and a great plot (as it is based on a true story). I wasn't a Charlie Sheen fan before this movie, but I am now. Some corny lines and a little over-acting, but the rumble of Harleys and a sound track by Asphalt Ballet make up for any imperfections.Oh yeah. SID doesn't urinate on his jacket, Virgil does after he says SID is "too clean to be a biker." A must see.
