apparently there were "creative" differences and Sheen came aboard. Sheen also had his first heart attack and almost derailed the entire project. After seeing it so many times, I really see Sheen in the role as an unassuming, unlikley officer squeezed into a situation he wasn't sure about. Keitel was just too hard for the role--he would have no doubt about why or what he was going to do. My preference is Sheen all the way.
