You have to enjoy a good chase scene.

This is the second book in the series.  You really  need to read these in order or you will be lost with whats going on.  The first book ended with them being chased by a Dijinn.  They manage to get away safely but it makes Cora start to think that maybe she cant have her college life and be safe.  Theres all kinds of action going on in this short serial but you have a good love sequence happening between Cora and Dorian at the same time.  Cora is beginning to realize that she might not be able to stay away from Dorian like she first thought.  Theres a cliff hanger at the end of this book that you might need to have the box of Kleenex close by to get through.  This is beginning to be a really good serial book.  I highly recommend reading it.

You always know where you are in the story and that's where you want to be. You want to be in the middle of an exciting chase or soon to be found out by the baddies.

The Action was good. It had a slightly different feel that the other Die Hards.
If you have watch the others in the series you should watch this one.
The opening car chase with that Russian personel carrier is awesome.

best chase ever for that matter. Almost all the ideas are original and the stunts are awesome. Of course there is some cheese and other lame stuff (like the car twirling). The plot is so-so but does hold up relatively well. I would have given the movie 4 stars instead of 5, but the average review deserves more than 3. Glad to ad this one to the collection.

Although it is at first glance just as improbable as any other cop-action movie, The Chaser has the benefit of highly probable performances for the most part. The characters, acting and direction get you into a story that might be run-of-the-mill in other hands, and this is therefore a cop-and-killer movie that's many notches above the rest.

The main cop here is actually an ex-cop who's become an unsuccessful pimp with a harebrained sidekick and some lackluster girls. One of those girls, a single mother, is kidnapped by a serial killer who, for once, does NOT have a Hannibal Lecter genius IQ, but who is smart enough to keep his mouth shut about where she is.

From there a cop movie plays out, and we see some brutal things that would not likely be found in a similar American film. The Chaser also features nice artistically framed scenes in low-life settings that are a sign of careful filmmaking.

One scene has a tougher psychiatrist than would likely be found in American movies examining the killer. Others have the ex-cop interacting with the missing hooker's young daughter in ways more believable than Hollywood-cutesy. Others credibly portray the killer as an overgrown disturbed teen who is far from a diabolical mastermind, but just as dangerous. The film is full of good stuff that is not afraid to deviate from the central action thrust for a bit, and this should be refreshing for Americans regularly subjected to pointless car chases and shootouts.

Atmospheric summer rain falls in many scenes here, and a "noir" atmosphere prevails throughout, sprinkled with episodes of rough humor. And many scenes depict beleaguered working-class cops who are overworked and pulled between silly political concerns and trying to do what's most important.

This film also helped me realize that there are elements to some Korean interactions that I'd once thought were movie overacting, but which I now am taking a more appreciative view of. The chaotic scenes in police stations here particularly impressed me in this way.

Were this a lower quality film one might say it gets overwrought towards the end. But here the theatrics work for the most part because a general core of realism has been established.

Reportedly an American version was made of this, and you can bet that that one WILL most likely be overwrought and melodramatic. As in all cases one is advised to go first with the foreign original, and put up with the "sacrifice" of reading subtitles, even if one has to rewind and re-enjoy scenes to do so!

The characters and story line are very alive and draw the audience into the story, it's not a dull monotonous plot line. There's always a few angles and perspectives going on at once to keep the viewer busy. The mature content does get out of hand at times.

I just watched the six short scenes of Batman Gotham Knight. Even though the lenght of video is short, the stories caught my eye but the first. The different types of pictures makes you feel like you are watching different stuff but then you realize that every scene is part of a big picture. It is not the best of all Batman works but I think this gives you some entertainment and a good time. Enjoy it.

Great movie , especially if you like San Francisco. A wonderful movie. It has many San Francisco street scenes for the lover of that city. Good plot. Has enough car chases to satisfy the most hard core car chase junkie.  Pretty sexy too/

Good Atmosphere, A Movie You Can Sink Into and Enjoy

I enjoyed the atmosphere of this film, especially the location shots in New York.  The scenes where Kelly McGillis is reading to  Jessica Tandy are drenched in subtle mystery and suspense--very lace curtain gothic.  I especially appreciated the moment when Ms. Tandy, who is very elderly, encourages Kelly McGillis to throw a rock into a window to ascertain if the house is occupied. The ensuing action is very well done, with a balance of tenderness and terror. Pure escapism.

Breezy action, but Chase remains unruffled. Just plain fun.

Loved the movie. Good chase scenes, and Farrah Forke was awesome. If you like action, this is a good movie to watch.

Good acting helped get through a somewhat confusing plot during first 20% of the film. Lots of shooting, which didn't sit well after the Connecticut massacre, but that's what this genre offers. Plus a good chase scene on motorcycles. In the end, we found the story and characters enjoyable.

Good entertainment and one must pay attention or you will be lost in some dialog.  Good story and screenplay, but a few dialog quirks.

Don't even try to take the plot of this book seriously, just enjoy the ride. It's quite well done for what it is and very diverting. You know, it's not the Lindt Excellence on the chocolate shop shelf, but there's nothing wrong with stuffing your face with Cadbury Roses now and then, right? It's fun.

Holding Trevor is a good way to spend a couple of hours. It provides both drama and comedy and the interactions between the characters are excellent. Good acting and production values make this film a good choice for an evening of entertainment.

Game isn't cleared yet, but I'm having a blast. The intensity gauge adds a nice risk/reward, the storyline is great, and the game manages to really capture your imagination, although they do fudge mythology a bit for the purpose of the story. ...Then again, most games fudge it much worse. So overall, it's a fun experience.
