Oh For Just One More Chase Scene

Rating: Null/10 (10 January 1999)

I am getting very weary of writers,directors and producers who over-do race scenes in their films at the expense of the story and the logic of the film's message.And does every mental institution have to be peopled with cruel,uncaring staff. However it is the constant chasing by car,foot, car,motorcycle ,truck (U name it) that I feel transforms an otherwise entertaining film into a boring experience! I am surprised we weren't treated to a couple of chases featuring lions ,tigers and other ferocious creatures. What a blast that would have been!!!! Ronin was bad because it too overdid the "chase" element. By comparison the director of Ronin was a "piker". I still insist! Each unnecessary and boringly long race scene, means one less opportunity for creativity or character development. If this trend continues, it won't be long before the ultimate movie will one long, continuous race scene. "Terminator 2" almost achieved the ultimate!!!!!
