Review of In Pursuit

In Pursuit (2000 Video)
3/10
Total waste of time
5 August 2007
Oh man, what a ripoff! I rented this movie basically to see Claudia Schiffer. She has no more than 15 minutes of screen time in total, and don't expect to see her in anything racier than a bikini. She isn't exactly a convincing actress, but at least her primary profession is a model - what's Daniel Baldwin's excuse? At one point he breaks into tears and it's one of the most unconvincing sobbing scenes I've ever seen! Oh, and did I mention that Coolio plays a prison guard?! The only decent acting comes from Sarah Lassez and Kim Rhodes. The movie is filled with laughable situations (from the sex scene in the PRISON cell against a LADDER to the escape to the breaking into apartments to a bullet in the gut having almost no effect to....) and twists ("He's my father!") that would shame a soap opera. The script looks as if it was written by a kid: anything can happen and nobody has to worry about logic. There is one neat directing trick - moving from a postcard to the beach it portrays - but otherwise "In Pursuit" is a total waste of time. (*)
