Leslie Felperin Guardian Altogether this is the sort of film you could quietly sleep through on a long-haul flight and not miss anything. Rated: 2/5 Jun 5, 2023 Full Review Joel Copling Spectrum Culture This is a needless parade of junky action beats, barely held together by a plot as creaky as an old bedspring. Mar 20, 2022 Full Review Leo Brady AMovieGuy.com Its about as bad as it gets with Pursuit. Rated: 0/4 Mar 4, 2022 Full Review Tom Meek Cambridge Day None of it works, but it’s nice to watch Cusack’s Jack often trimming and grilling up lean, 30-day-aged steaks... Rated: 1.5/4 Feb 24, 2022 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media This messy, convoluted action movie is so incomprehensible that it's difficult to say what it's actually about, other than a whole bunch of characters shooting each other and blowing stuff up. Rated: 2/5 Feb 19, 2022 Full Review James Verniere Boston Herald Dreck: Hirsch and Cusack must have been in dire need of a paycheck. Rated: C- Feb 18, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Elizabeth H Hmmm, where to begin...just don't. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/14/23 Full Review Preston N This is a future cult classic just like King of New York. It doesn't need to have a deep plot or make much sense. What matters is that it has a base amount of coherence and is a thrillride from beginning to end. You don't need to call him Snake, but he certainly needs to find his wife! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Horrible movie. The so-called cop that stars in the movie, (Rick Calloway), is a total punk, a tiny boy that people just walk over and brush aside, he is too afraid to stand up for himself. Kind of destroys the whole concept of the movie. The story line is tough to follow as it is all over the place. There is no hero in this movie just tough to watch scenarios as they are written like Monday morning soap operas. The only character with any personality is the villain. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Mr J Mr. Skiba. Please stop directing. You make terrible films on every level. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/22 Full Review Audience Member Good story potential. Bad acting and camera work. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Pursuit for messy and tasteless perhaps; nothing rings here. Maybe Cusack needs a retirement allowance. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
