This movie has it all; adventure, drama, humor and sorrow! They couldn't have gotten a better cast to fill the rolls. I have a question to those of you who are reading this. Does anyone know where I can find the (piano/lyrics) for the song "End of my journey" that the character "Sweetbread" sings in this movie? I love the song. Sweetbread is my favorite character! Thanks!!! Charlie Sheen gives one of his greatest performances in this movie. I love when he and his father work together. You never know how things are going to go. And with another family member in the movie as well, it was definitely interesting. My question is, "Where's the other siblings?" I thought that they might be going for the whole family thing there for a moment the first time that I saw it. LOL This movie will most definitely keep you interested. If you like the Military type movies than you will certainly enjoy this movie.

I seldom comment on a movie, but I so strongly disagreed with a prior comment on this movie, I felt I had to add two cents. I found this entrant far from boring. I have watched it four or five times, each time finding a new focus. The movie's idea is interesting, the conflict between the Sheens believable and well played, and the supporting cast excellent. Laurence Fishburne and James Marshall in particular are pleasures to watch. As the second of Sheen's two stints as a director I was impressed. Even the basic set works for me. And the music is so good that I continue to look from time to time to see if an actual CD is available. I believe that if you get your hands on this movie you won't be disappointed.

My Mom wanted me to see this. She said I'd love it. She was right.We got it from Netflix last year sometime. And let me tell you, I was nuts about that movie from the start. I'm a musical person in the first place, so the entire idea of prisoners in a stockade singing "Chain Gang" while they marched from point a to point b, tickled me. I love Charlie Sheen and Martin Sheen and while watching this movie discovered someone else that I love, James Marshall. He did such a great job in this movie. Everyone did. (Here's a tidbit, Charlie Sheen, Ramon Estevez (Charlie's brother, who played one of the guards) and James Marshall, Rob and Chad Lowe, Dean Cain, and a few other Hollywood Hotties all went to Santa Monica High together and graduated the same year!)I loved the way it was directed. I didn't see a single scene that looked like it didn't belong. Correct me if I'm wrong but, didn't Martin Sheen direct this? Anyway, if you haven't seen Cadence, do not hesitate to pick it up ANYWHERE you see it. Pick up 2 and send one to me! I haven't seen it in any video stores, but I'm looking for a good deal on the net.Enjoy Cadence and let me know what you think. You won't be disappointed!Missy............:)

I just don't understand this movie having such a high overall rating. Unless having been in the military adds to the experience, it seems inexplicable. This movie is certainly not about action, it is character driven. Unfortunately the characters were largely cliches, I didn't find myself caring about any of them despite usually liking Charlie Sheen's movies of the era.I watched this with friends, and the pace was so slow that there were several times that we literally sat throwing glances at each other wondering when something interesting would happen or be said. We waited the whole 90+ minutes, and nothing ever did. After seeing Cadence, it is clear why it won no awards and got no theatre play.I visited IMDB hoping someone else's comments might give me a hint if there was something there my friends and I missed. After reading other comments, unless these actors made two different movies titled Cadence, I'm baffled.
