The Chase (1994)

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The acting in this movie is really good.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Charlie Sheen at the peak of his career with Kristy Swanson (who should be hot but is not)... in a car... promoting Butterfinger candy bars... being chased by Henry Rollins in a cop car and the Red Hot Chili Peppers in a monster truck. Throw in some cadavers, Cary Elwes and Ron Jeremy... you have "The Chase".Stylistically, the film is not great. It probably never won any awards and should not have. But it is enjoyable, and for a film that takes place almost entirely in a little BMW, it has a plot that goes quickly and is fun to watch. What could make this film better? Maybe fewer police sirens. But that is all I can think of. Just plain classic from beginning to end.

I saw this movie a while ago on television. It was late and there wasn't anything else on and I saw the name of Charlie Sheen so I thought that it could be fun. But the movie itself proved me wrong. I just laugh AT it, because it was one of the most stupid, wannabe funny, movies I have ever seen in my entire life! Charlie Sheen's acting wasn't too bad, but he was the opposite of funny in this film and that's not something I'm used to with him. Okay, sometimes you can laugh if there's a joke well placed but that's VERY rare in 'The Chase'. I mean, a whole movie about ONE chase... How can that be entertaining? And at one point there having sex DURING the high speed chase. Of course they don't want people to take this film seriously and it's supposed to be funny, but it just isn't. I can't help it.

I am a rather large movie buff. I have seen many. many movies. I'm obsessed with them, and my favorite movie is The Chase. Now the chase isn't really that amazing of a movie, it doesn't really excel in fields of plot and character development. But there is something about it that makes me and my friends, and many others go back and watch it a second or a third time.I love this movie and I encourage all movie-goers to go and rent this movie.NOTE: I have come to the understanding this movie is very hard to find, and that not many or no versions came out on DVD. It is played on TNT or TBS though.

This is a fun popcorn Action/Comedy, that's a great breezy way to pass the time, with lots of laughs,and plenty of action!. All the characters are great, and the story is basic but a lot of fun, plus Charlie Sheen is simply amazing in this!. It's just a fun movie to enjoy, no need to think, just sit back and watch, and Charlie Sheen and Kristy Swanson were cool together, and had pretty good chemistry together, plus one of the funniest scenes in the movie for me is when Swanson gets car sick and pukes out the window and all over the Police Car's windshield. The ending while silly is quite good, as it was amusing, and Charlie really is brilliant at this stuff, as he was the main reason this film was so enjoyable for me, plus It's the perfect time waster!, and maybe even more, hell I would probably watch it again. This should be higher then 5.3 in my opinion, and if you can find it cheap on DVD it may be even worth buying, plus it's well made and decently written as well. I can't believe Sheen got away with holding Swanson as a hostage by using a butter finger bar!, and all the characters are quite likable, plus while it may be typical, it's still fun!. This is a fun popcorn Action/Comedy, that's a great breezy way to pass the time, with lots of laughs, and plenty of action, I highly recommend this one!. The Direction is great!. Adam Rifkin does a great! job here with good camera work, good angles and keeping the film at an enjoyable pace. The Acting is a lot of fun!. Charlie Sheen is amazing as always and is amazing here, he is extremely hilarious, can do this type of thing in his sleep, had good chemistry with Swanson, had impeccable comic timing as always, and just brought of laughs (Charlie Rules!!!!!!!). Kristy Swanson is gorgeous and does fine here, she had good chemistry with Sheen, and managed to be likable instead of what could have been a very annoying character. Henry Rollins and Josh Mostel are funny as the two dimwitted cops that are chasing Sheen, I liked them. Ray Wise is good as the asshole. Marshall Bell is good in his screen time as Sheen's Laywer. Rest of the cast are fine. Overall I highly recommend this one!. ***1/2 out of 5
