5.0 out of 5 stars disturbing film, February 25, 2007
Firefighter Lyle Wilder (Charlie Sheen) is a hero to his Los Angeles community, but few know that he's harboring a deadly secret: He's slowly turning into a sociopath. His neighbor Catherine Braverton (Mare Winningham) and her two children have clued in to Lyle's altered personality and soon find themselves targeted as his first victims. The only trouble is, they can't seem to convince anyone that Lyle is dangerous.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sheen plays an excellent psychotic character role here!!!, August 30, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Under Pressure [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I loved the tension that builds up during the movie. Sheen's character is funny, psychotic, and well rounded. The one liners in this movie are a piss. Especially between Sheen and the air conditioner repairman. Unfortunately I saw it on pay-per-view and never taped it. If you like Charlie Sheen as a actor, then you'll like seeing a different side of him in this film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ohhhh! Me so sorry!, July 20, 2006
This movie, while it may try to be very suspenseful (and actually does succeed in doing so) is an absolute riot! Ever wanted to see what would happen to Charlie Sheen if he ever went without sleep? Well, this is the movie for you! I cannot wait to see this movie again! Very underrated and deserves a hell of a lot more credit than it received.

Charlie Sheens best performance. Ever.
