Pursuit

Well, John Cusack is not a guaranteed seal of proper entertainment. And I can say that after having suffered through the 2022 action thriller "Pursuit".

Sure, I had never heard about "Pursuit" from writers Brian Skiba, Andrew Stevens, Dawn Bursteen and Ben Fiore prior to sitting down to watch it. So I didn't know what I was getting myself into here, but I figured that the movie would be adequate, since it had both John Cusack and Emile Hirsch on the cast list.

But that was not to be, because director Brian Skiba delivered what best can be described only as an ambitious low budget action thriller, just without the proper entertainment value that you would expect. So yeah, the movie was a swing and a miss.

The storyline was sluggish at best, and I never really delved into the storyline or the characters, since both were rather mundane and sort of pointless. "Pursuit" doesn't prove to be an outstanding or memorable movie in the action thriller genre. If anything, it is a movie that you should avoid if you enjoy action thrillers, because this movie didn't really have much of either.

Actually the storyline is so cluttered that it is hard to keep track of what is going on and why, so you essentially end up just giving up trying to stay afloat.

The acting performances in the movie were bland, and it felt like the cast themselves didn't buy into the rubbish that the writers had concocted for them.

"Pursuit" came and went without leaving a lasting mark on anything. And this is not a movie that I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on. Some of us suffered through this ordeal so you don't have to.

My rating of "Pursuit" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.

This is a b action movie that takes itself so serious with a complicated story ends up being boring, Action scenes are cheap and uncreative just lots of guns, Everyone in the movie is miscast the roles does not fit the actors, horrible editing and sound mixing and I'm not an expert but it's so bad anyone can notice it, simply this a direct to DVD Bruce Willis movie but he was too busy making other horrible movies they hired John Cusack instead and he gives a lazy sleepy performance just like willis does in his movies lately.

The Gunshots sound canned The Acting is wooden The music sounds tinny Sound effects are the worse & dont match up with the images.

How the producers and directors let this see the light of day is a mystery.

Atrocious Scripting & Plot Atrocious Filming Atrocious Acting Atrocious Sound Track

Not worth bothering 👎

I'd better look to the rating before I have spent my time watching this one. Low budget, poor acting and poor story. Shooting scenes are for laughing !

Story? There isn't any. At least any that makes any sense. Acting? There isn't any. Direction? There isn't any. Action? LOL! Amateurish, if I wanted to pay a compliment, but I don't feel like to, so: ridiculous. Waste of time? Plenty. Forget about watching this, you surely have better things to do.
