This is a good movie with a good story. The movie really shows the dark side of criminal outlaw biker gangs, while also helping understand the brotherhood of the lifestyle.

Based on a true story.......2007-01-18

Charlie Sheen plays a law enforcement officer that goes undercover in order to infiltrate a notorious motorcycle gang. His character has a harder time keeping his real life and undercover life separate because of some legitimate psychological baggage her carries around from childhood. You can see where his character seems to forget he is a cop and goes too far at times. This takes him to close to the edge where he realizes he has to come out or he may never re-gain his normal life.

Michael Madsen does a fantastic job as being the leader of the motorcycle club. Even though you know he is the leader of this dangerous gang of felons and the worse of them all. He and the director give his character an edge that almost makes him likable. Showing that evil does have a seductive side.

This film is based on a true story of Police Officer Dan Saxon who went undercover for two and half years in order to make his case. It resulted in 498 arrest and 497 convictions. Though the screenwriters have taken liberties with some embellishment, it is a pretty accurate peak inside a Motorcycle clubs life in the mid seventies.

Good Sheen.......2006-07-03

Since the quality of Hollywood is so poor lately, I have taken to watching the older B movies, and this was a good one. The storyline wavered between "iffy" and good, as so many of the movies of this period did, but I'm okay with that if the acting is good. Early Sheen is not as good as some of the other Brat Packers, but; as I said, given the quality of Hollywood movies nowadays, I'm having fun watching some of the 1980 B movies.

Another 4-Star Movie for Guys Who Like Movies..........2006-01-01

Okay, this role isn't WALL STREET or PLATOON, but Charlie Sheen kicks butt in this film about a screwed up cop who goes undercover with a bike gang. Sound familiar? It should, as this genre has been made a hundred times. This movie, however, is one of the best. And since it was based (very) loosely on a true story then that much the better.

My favorite actor in the film, though, is a thoroughly bad-assed Michael Madsen as the antagonist. He spews perfect timing as the leader of the biker gang.

Additionally, Leon Rippy does a great job as sidekick "Virgil", who is probably the most believable character in the film. Also, Dennis Burkley (a wonderful bit actor that will surely be recognized) is perfectly cast as "Oatmeal". Lastly, it is always good to have Rip Torn in any movie, lending heavyweight acting to any role.

Simply, this is a keeper and a must see. Hey, I'm a just a guy...

this DVD is for a certain type of person.......2007-06-30

If you need to feel safe and secure about your government and believe that 'they' would never lie to you, then this DVD is a 'must have' for you. It will help put to rest any doubts you may have had about the Warren Commission Report.
But as for the rest of us delusional, paranoid, pot-smoking, lunatic conspiracy theorists ; we still wanna know a) why the Zapruder film looks so fake and tampered with (don't believe me? look into it), b) why would a pristine bullet turn up on Governor Connally's stretcher at Parkland Hospital and seriously be considered as evidence of a bullet that passed through both JFK & Connally while so much other evidence was discarded because it didn't fit the official theory, c) why all the bizarre coincidences, associations and mysterious deaths surrounding the assassination of JFK, not to mention bizarre deaths surrounding LBJ, d) why is the most important autopsy of the 20th century is so hard to figure out and seemingly so amateurish and finally (although there's lots more to discuss) e) why all the confusion about the whereabouts of President John F. Kennedy's brain?
Oh yeah, I could go on and on, but instead I'll just say that for someone like me; this DVD is good for the 3D animation and showing the position of the people in the limousine. That's all. It doesn't dispel any questions I still have about the topic. So I really give it one star.

Jennings is My Hero.......2007-06-29

Anyone with intelligence and an open mind will be convinced by this DVD. Oswald acted alone. There was no conspiracy. Peter Jennings is honest and brave, just like Posner and Bugliosi. These three men have the courage to face down the deluded dimwits who still cling to their unsubstantiated paranoid fantasies. After 44 years of conspiracy nonsense, the conspiracy nutballs will never give up. They cling to their distortions, their lies, and their half-truths because they are too afraid to change their minds and admit they have been wrong all along. This DVD should have been the last word on the assassination, but unfortunately we live in a world filled with blind paranoid fools.

Don't believe this garbage.......2007-05-27

I have seen this on cable several times. Each time it amazes me what blatant propoganda this is. If you are writing a thesis and are trying to write a persuasive thesis then you present facts that support your view. You argue the facts to support your theory. This presentation is as lacking as the Warren Commission. The Warren Commission was not formed to prove who killed the President. This show presents facts??? related to, without uncertainty, pointing the finger directly at Oswald. They show only one side of the equation frequently. (Including interview footage of Oswald's brother saying that "he did it and I know Lee." (paraphrasing) As the warren commission did - this mocumentary leaves out important facts and leaves questions unanswered. Preposterous rubbage that is being subjected to our younger generation who don't know any better. Tell everyone who will listen not to believe this trash. You know what really happened and I'm not so sure that Oswald was even part of it. When you have an important plan do you leave anything to chance. Of course not, and they didn't either. It is truly amazing that they got away with it. My opinion of Peter Jennings goes down when he participates in false propoganda. He loses his credibility when he accepts projects such as this.

NO stars, the usual propaganda and trial of dead man.......2007-04-06

This is ABC at its worst. No matter how much the Warren Commission defenders try they keep failing to convince the vast majority of Americans that Oswald acted alone. That is remarkable given the fact that the media has always supported the "official" story of JFK's murder. Ths simple fact is you cannot put a dead man on trial. Oswald has never had a chance to defend himself in a court of law, and that is fundamental to our entire system of government. That is the true travesty of the Warren Commission and this "mockumentary". All we have in this case are theories...

Great DVD.......2007-03-26

One outta two isn't bad...........2007-05-12

The Grand Duel(aka Il Grande Duello) is a must have for Van Cleef fans. great solid spaghetti western with much of the LVC style. Luis Bacalov has also really provided one of the most memorable non-Morricone spaghetti scores to date. Great production values and an engaging story make it more than worthwhile.

Beyond the Law is a lesser effort and comes off looking more like a TV quality production with TV quality acting overall and has none of the style and great lines that makes a Van Cleef outing so much fun.

The widescreen transfer on both films is very acceptable for a spaghetti western and will not disappoint. You will definately want to pick up this double feature for The Grand Duel alone and I very highly recommend getting your hands on the CD soundtrack which has seen a couple of printings over the years.

For those looking for more great Van Cleef spaghetti, I recommend Death Rides a Horse, The Big Gundown, Grand Duel and El Condor - all much better than the waaay overrated Day of Anger...

A Fair Western with a Comic Touch.......2003-11-02

Don't run out and pay top dollar for this movie, but if you can get it on sale somewhere it might entertain you. Van Cleef does a good acting job as the reluctant lawman. There are some decent comic touches. The movie drags a bit in the middle and some of the acting is lousy and the production values (even by 1968 standards) are low. Not too terrible a way to spend a couple of hours on a dull weekend. One big howler of a mistake was a major character, Novak, describes himself as a Czechoslovakian. Czechoslovakia was not founded as a state until 1919, long after the Wild West era ended. He should have described himself as a Bohemian or Moravian. Gee, its usually the Americans that don't know anything about European history, but here the Italians mess up!

Van Cleef's Impossible Choice.......2002-11-04

An entertaining admixture of American idealism and Italian commedia dell'arte, "Al di la della legge" (or "Beyond the Law") is a (sometimes) ambitious attempt to fuse two storylines into one: the conventional (American) tale of the reluctant hero and the conventional (spaghetti) tale of the band of ruthless killers up against a nearly unstoppable (anti-) hero. Lee Van Cleef seems to be particularly amused by the role: as Billy Joe Cudlip, an aging rapscallion and saddle-tramp suddenly become local hero, Cleef relaxes into a role that actually avoids violence whenever possible, who makes comments like, "And no gun play!" Lionel Stander nearly steals the film with his portrayal of "Preacher," an old friend and partner-in-crime of Cleef's: his tongue in cheek performance simultaneously masquerades the "preacher" roles of the classic Westerns and illustrates the tightrope that these minor villains constantly walk--the line between loyalty to each other (and the general desire to do good to most others) and self-interest. Gordon Mitchell is also quite good as the third member of the gang (a sort of low-key "good, bad, and ugly")--an African American whose race is clearly a non-issue to his friends (he avoids playing into the stereotypical roles that Jim Brown in fact is forced to indulge in his own westerns).

The central theme of the film is one of community vs. outcast and the pain (as well as freedom) that goes with the latter category. Van Cleef is constantly reminded of his marginal status; what separates him from his two companions is the fact that they don't want to become part of community, that the idea of group values are anathema to their sense of a passing time of freedom. But Van Cleef slowly invests in community through the film (most notably through his growing friendship with Antonio Sabato, who plays a rather naïve émigré from Czechoslovakia). Thus, the film's external violence (represented by a "Wild Bunch" of ruthless bandits, led by Gunther Stoll, who want to steal all of the silver in Silver Town-Van Cleef and his friends were content with only a few thousand dollars' worth, which, to their chagrin, they never even get to enjoy) is a reflection of Van Cleef's internal struggle: stick with your old friends (and the values they represent) or join a "lawful" community?

Giorgio Stegani's direction is sometimes erratic (the movie is awkwardly paced; but Stegani's "A" budget cast and crew makes this his best spaghetti), but Enzo Serafin's photography is excellent and Riz Ortoliani's score achieves a perfect balance between heroism and melodrama. In the end, however, the real reason to watch "Beyond the Law" is Lee Van Cleef. The film is not as good as "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly" or "Day of Anger" or, most importantly, "The Big Gundown" (all of which came out just before this one), but Van Cleef's acting is never better, never more nuanced, and his characterization never more multi-dimensional. It's a tribute to Van Cleef that we too feel the pain of his impossible choice at film's end--even if the overall experience is nowhere near as good as it might have been.

AN OK ITALIAN WESTERN........2000-06-14

I bought this movie becuase I thought Bud Spencer was a main character! He is only in it for 10 minutes! Besides that I was entertained! It was a good story about a Checkezlovakian (did i spell it right?) who is payed to come to the united states to deliver some money to James Cooper (Bud Spencer) but a clever thief (Lee Van Cleef) and his buddy (Lionel Stander) steal the money and they are happy but Bud isnt. Strangley the Checkezlovakian becomes good friends with the men who stole his money and he asks thier help to find it! Its and ok movie Not worth paying more than 5 dollars.
