The Chase Audience Reviews

CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
kluseba "The Chase" is a highly entertaining action-comedy b-movie that offers a fast-paced story inspired by the Stockholm Syndrome. It also exposes a cynical satire of yellow journalism, the vice of the rich and famous and disorganized, overtly sensational police work in the United States of America. This flick surprises with a vivid rock soundtrack, solid actors and actresses like Charlie Sheen and Ray Wise and a few stunning cameo appearances by pop culture icons from Anthony Kiedis and Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers to adult movie actor and director Ron Jeremy. In addition to this, the numerous action sequences and a purposely over-the-top love scene spice this movie up until the explosive and satisfying ending.All these diverting elements pardon for a few low budget special effects, somewhat superficial dialogues, a couple of laughable plot holes and a predictable story line with ridiculously flat characters apart of the surprisingly convincing leading roles. Even two decades after its original release, this movie is still absolutely entertaining and fully enjoyable despite its obvious flaws if you switch your brains off for ninety minutes of power. In addition to this, the movie perfectly represents the cinematic stereotypes of the nineties such as explosive action sequences hiding vapid plots, charismatic anti-heroes who fight their desperate fates and lots of colourful clothes and haircuts, enthusiastic, juvenile and at times silly rock and pop songs and numerous flashy cars, merchandise articles and television shows that almost evoke nostalgic feelings nowadays.In the end, you will adore this film if you are looking for a memorable diversified action-comedy flick that represents all the shameful yet entertaining pop culture elements of the nineties. If you are looking for an innovating and profound film, forget it but you will have to admit that the movie is good for what it is.
mpurvismattp This movie just seems to have a special place in my heart, it reminds me of freshman year in high school, VHS tapes and summer vacation (damn I miss that sh!t). Where else can u get Henry Rollins as a douchebag cop who thinks he's Dirty Harry, his partner the revolting blob, Anthony Kiedis and Flea in their hillbilly white trash Monster truck, Cary Elwes as Steve Horsegroovy the super cheesy anchorman, Tigers blood in a clown suit, Angela from "Who's the Boss", Ron f-ing Jeremy, and the mega babe known as Kristy Swanson...no where else that's where! The Chase is not an action movie, sure there's action in it but its a comedy and its meant to be satirical (especially involving the media and the way they like to blow EVERYTHING out of proportion) and it's not high brow comedy, but its effective. If u haven't seen this flick check it out, I mean i enjoy artsy movies and indies as much as the next guy but sometimes a good dumb comedy is just what the doctor ordered. So just sit back, kick your feet up and enjoy the ride.
Sandcooler If you're a fan of completely brainless action, Adam Rifkin is your kind of guy. He could be the most brainless director on the face of the planet, and I for one applaud him for that reason. Don't bother him with details like plot or coherence, he's really more of a "let's randomly have corpses crash into a windshield" type of guy. This movie is pretty much "Speed" with a sense of humour, it's a lot of fun and the lack of any real creative story lines is very well-concealed. Furthermore, Charlie Sheen is actually pretty good in it. He genuinely comes of as a very sympathetic and misunderstood protagonist, which is pretty impressive when you're actually Charlie freakin' Sheen. The ending is also very satisfying, it's predictable but in an excellent way. One last thing: Anthony Kiedis and Flea are in this too, which is just fascinatingly bizarre. Very enjoyable flick.
disdressed12 "The Chase" is sort of an action adventure romance with some light comedy.it is a case of mistaken identity (sortof).Charlie Sheen and Kristi Swanson play the two leads in the movie.Charlie Sheen is Jackson Davis Hammond,a falsely convicted armed bank robber who escapes from custody.As Jackson makes a quick stop at a gas station to fill up(in a stolen car) the report of the stolen car is heard by two police officers in the store.the officers attempt arrest Jackson,and rather than go back to jail,he kidnaps the woman standing next to him in line.This woman just happens to be Natalie Voss,(Kristi Swanson)daughter of wealthy industrialist DaltonVoss.(Ray Wise)Jackson escapes with Natalie and leads the police on a much publicized car chase,which takes up most of the movie.the ending is predictable but satisfying.Obviously,there is a lot of action,some of it quite intense.there is also humour,courtesy of Sheen and Swanson.much of what occurs in the movie is somewhat improbable but the movie is entertaining and fun. 8/10
