No Man's Land (1987)
7/10
He only steals Porsches
25 March 2024
Ted is a representative of the conventional bohemian, long fed up with life, who finds his only periodic outlet in stealing a car and only of a certain brand. Every now and then Ferraris and muscle cars of various types flashing in the frame do not make any impression on his lost soul. Benji is a guy who is in some ways no less tired of the life of an ordinary ordinary police officer and as a hobby he repairs high-speed cars, which he understands quite well. Similar interests, as well as the absence of true friends on both "sides of the barricades," will, by chance, bring these two personalities into one ultimate team... but for how long?

The plot and general surroundings here are not particularly original - there is a typical, somewhat romanticized, representative of the era of the second half of the eighties, designed for one viewing, but there are two moments, the combination of which is much less common, they are also the main features this film. On the one hand there is an abundance of sedans and convertibles of the flagship Porsche 911, the beauty and power of which will be shown from all sorts of angles, on the other hand there is not the worst atmosphere, somewhat reminiscent of the classic series in the form of "Miami Vice: Vice" (1984-1989). These two aspects raised the score by two points.

In a matter of a similar spirit can note "Less than Zero" (1987), as well as the game adaptation of the entire history of the brand in the form of "Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed" (2000).
