Both Martin Sheen and his son Charlie had starred in movies about the horrors of the Vietnam War. They later co-starred in a movie about the tough regimens faced by US troops on the verge of the war. Directed by the elder Sheen, "Cadence" stars the younger Sheen as a disobedient cadet on a US military base in 1965 Germany. Put in the stockade with a group of African-American troops, he's at the mercy of a brutal sergeant (played by dad).
Admittedly, this movie doesn't have the heart-stopping intensity of, say, "Full Metal Jacket". What it is has is some great performances. Personally, I thought that Laurence Fishburne's performance carried the movie. It's not a great movie, but worth seeing.
