I understand that The Chase has its own relative standard of being good, but I need to be clear, The Chase, this movie, is very good. It is a good, good movie. It is not bad. It's not a bad movie. It may appear to be bad, but it isn't bad. It's good. It is a highly enjoyable parody of cop chase movies done in fully focused entertainment. It's not stupid. It may appear stupid, stupid isn't the right word, but it isn't stupid, it is, in fact, very smart. It's not a high end artful film, clearly, more of a common man's classic chase flick with superbabe Kristy Swanson and sexy boy Charlie Sheen. It has mostly fine direction and editing, almost excelling in these areas, relatively speaking of course. It's very good. It's a major movie for teenagers for one. Henry Rollins and the best of the Red Hot Chili Peppers make unforgettable appearances. While The Chase is constantly throughout playing to its genre derived stereotypes with bad boy Sheen and distressed damsel Swanson, it does it in a way that is highly relatable to the audience. You can casually watch The Chase and there is nothing to dislike. Charlie Sheen and Kristy Swanson make this movie so watchable, and more than just one or two times. I've watched this movie many times. It's good. I cannot exactly speak to just how hot Charlie Sheen is in this movie (he's looking pretty good from where I'm sitting), but I can, however, speak in great length to the incredible hotness of Kristy Swanson. She is soooooo hoooooooot. Kristy Swanson is soooo, sooo, so sweet, in this movie and every movie she's in, but God, she looks unbelievably fine in this film! Way to go, Kristy, for being so damn super sexy! I love Kristy Swanson, and Charlie Sheen as well! The Chase tries to be real, and true to life, and it is. Everyone who loves movies should eventually watch The Chase. It's a good movie. It's not bad.

Jackson "Jack" Hammond is sentenced to 25 years in prison for armed robbery, although he claims to be innocent, but manages to escape on the way to Mexico. To get away from the police while at a convenience store, he takes a girl as hostage California heiress Natalie, and drives off in her car. She happens to be the daughter of billionaire Dalton Voss, one of the richest men in the state. In a while the car chase is quickly being broadcast live on every TV-channel, covering the event from helicopters, the backseat of a police car, the pavement of the highway etc.....Back in the early nineties, before he went off the rails, and changed his name to Charles, Sheen made some very strange, but inspired movies.This was one of the last of those movies, and it's fun, but when you watch it, you understand why this is one of those movies that rarely pops up on TV, and never really mentioned in movie talk.It's almost like the nice little sister to Natural Born Killers, the media coverage is ride here, and thus turning the whole proceedings way over the top. And I guarantee when you see this movie you will think of the O.J Simpson facade that was all over TV.With great support from Swanson, Rollins, and a couple of the Chillis, The Chase is basically a parody that works, but was cruelly overlooked when released back in 1994.Well worth seeking out though.

Cliché filled film where a real loser taking a wealthy girl hostage and the two of them in a memorable chase with the police in hot pursuit.Martin Sheen is in top form as the innocent convicted felon on the lamb.The story follows the usual tradition of the girl becoming hysterical and gradually finding love with her captor during her apparent ordeal. Naturally, her father is a Donald Trump type with political aspirations. He will attempt to use the kidnapping to his political advantage.The film does succeed in that it shows class distinctions and how our criminal justice system can go awry at times.While it is fun-packed, it is so predictable.

"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
