Traque sans répit

Comic book like secret agent foolishness. Far fetched, inane crap.

This is a fast paced movie right out of the gate. The movie starts off with Hatcher being forced to move from one spot to another to rescue her kidnaped son making you feel like you came into the middle of the movie. Don't worry, you'll be brought up to speed although it takes about half the flick to do so. This movie reminds me of the t.v. series "24" because this entire movie seems to take place all in one day. The actors never had to change their clothes so I guess that must have helped out on the wardrobe budget. There is a toilet scene in this movie which is not only funny at the time, but it also provides some further comic relief several times later on. Although some of the plot was a little inconsistent, overall this was a pretty entertaining fast paced flick.

Enjoyable. Fast-paced, especially at the beginning, will grip you. This is good. Story is no-nonsense, especially at the beginning, it doesn't wait for you, you have to hurry to catch up. This is as it should be.

Lowe is OK in his role, so are the others, Hatcher is very very good. Cox is a real treat.

But these are artists one assumes trying to make a bit of a comeback. There are so many movies like this, made for TV, and they all go the same way - why?

For there is little wrong with the directing, or the editing, or the music, or the special effects, or the acting.

It's always the screenplay. It's always the screenplay which fades, perhaps just a bit, just enough to make the movie dip down in your esteem beneath the "this is great" level - just enough so that said actors, directors, editors etc. never get the second chance they work so hard for.

But see this one. Made for TV rarely gets better.

Okay, now the DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency, (that's an oxymoron itself)) is framing Jane Doe(or is it the company that's doing it?), but then her 17 year old son is a DIA operative in the company and her ex-husband is a DIA agent. Bad guys in the company she works for are into selling secrets to foreign agents, so she reveals happenings about this and is fired for doing so, then is set up by insiders in the company to cover up the killing of the company president. Now the DIA is in cahoots with the company big wigs from the get go, but makes out like it is trying to catch the company VIPs in the act of transferring the secret stuff. Next the DIA boss wants to kill her DIA agent husband because who knows why and also wants to take out she and her son. DOES ANY OF THIS MAKE SENSE? A movie you definitely will want to miss.

The great attraction of this DVD certainly is the name of Teri Hatcher. I decided to watch this movie, and I do not know what the writer has in his head while writing such screenplay. The story is so unbelievable and absurd that becomes funny, a comedy full of action. I decided to shut down my brain, do not think in the countless flaws in the script and enjoy the still very beautiful and sexy Teri Hatcher, and in the end I surprisingly had a good time. "Jane Doe" is totally forgettable and laughable, but entertains. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Jane Doe – Corrida Contra Morte" ("Jane Doe – Running Against Death")
