To me, this movie is perfection.
Good movie but grossly overrated
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Max Chase (Blayne Weaver) is a Shreveport, Louisiana man who has made "bad life choices" and is on parole in the custody of his sister Isobel, assistant DA. Max owes John aka "The Man" (Lance Henriksen) a paltry $3,000 which seems like a fortune, certainly Max could get that for his truck. When his sister goes missing Max goes to look for her and her killer in a very twisty plot, blaming everyone in town.The film was okay, nothing to crow about. They use a terrible pun title, and then use a pun name like "Max Chase" and never have a chase scene. They do show Chase bank in the background...why? It doesn't play a part other than to show us the writer was a dimwit who created words and images that didn't tie together. The last film twist was simply idiotic. Even though Isobel goes missing early in the film, she is present in a number of flashbacks. The acting was better than the script writing. Blayne Weaver should have bought a script instead of attempting to write his own...one that didn't rely on a bad pun to try to look clever.Guide: F-word, sex, nudity? Winner of 6 various indie awards...which means it is good when compared to bad films.PLOT SPOILER: The one line film description used by Amazon and IMDb is a bit of a spoiler. We know Isobel goes missing. She is presumed killed and not kidnapped for most of the film. C'mon Blayne, get your act together.
People who marked 8-10 are the actors family or similar. They try to show it as the best of the all times movie. It is an extreme exaggerationWho marked 2 was an enemy. He think there not could be something worst, that it is not an objective appreciation It is a intrigue movie, not such deep, not vulgar, an average plus. To watch as an relatively easy movie
This is a movie that will make you want to go for a nice jog the next day due to all the popcorn you will be stuffing in your face while watching. All the cast Was great and the Crime/Drama movie remind me of how actions movies used to be in the 90s which make this awesome. Props to Blayne Weaver for this one! I don't know how he chooses the cast he does in this but it works well. Lance Henriksen is such a wonderful choice in this as a top bad ass. Blayne Weaver was great as max because he is a character you want to hate but cant. You want him to fail but also succeed for certain reasons. You will Not feel bad for him in some instances and other you will. Anyways I don't need to give out more detail. This is just definitely worth a watch.
This is truly an exciting, action packed noir thriller. The writing is engaging and the actors have the chemistry to pull off the surprising twists and turns of the story. Blayne Weaver writes, directs, and stars in this exciting addition to your action films portfolio. His ability to choose the right cast once again comes through with an amazing, believable adventure. Lance Henriksen is a perfect bad guy as he gives life to the villain of the underworld, The Man. Cut to the Chase is the first action thriller that Weaver has brought to the screen, following Six Month Rule, Weather Girl, Outside Sales, and Manic. You won't be disappointed!
