A stout effort, an agonizing afternoon. Be warned, if you can't guess from the trailer you should read no further.

Rating: 2/10 (17 December 2006)

I am a fan of Will Smith and have enjoyed nearly all of his films, especially the Science Fiction. This afternoon my girl friend persuaded me to see Pursuit, etc. We both squirmed throughout, and by throughout I mean it passed my tipping point - the point at which the shear length of a film makes itself known by the the descent of the plot into one painful episode to another, all the while leaving the viewer with certain knowledge that whatever happens, "all's well that ends well". This is an inspiring story told in the most predictable way imaginable. At least Hitch had interesting characters that propelled the plot. This has none of that. As for acting, there is no stretch for Mr. Smith or - and especially - his son. I look forward to his next project - with my girlfriend's apology.
