- flavo4316 december 2025Cadence (1990) is an unusual, almost family‑affair drama, with Charlie Sheen starring as a troubled soldier sent to a stockade in 1960s West Germany—directed by his father, Martin Sheen, who also appears in the film. The story works as a restrained coming‑of‑age tale, exploring discipline, identity, and the quiet tensions simmering within military life. It briefly touches on racist undertones through the dynamic between Sheen’s character and the predominantly Black unit he’s assigned to, offering moments of insight even if the film doesn’t fully commit to exploring them. While it’s far from a perfect movie, and its pacing can feel uneven, the supporting cast brings real personality and warmth, giving the story more emotional texture than expected. Cadence may not stand out as a major classic, but it remains an interesting, character‑driven piece with a unique atmosphere and a quietly memorable ensemble.
