The Chase (1994)
6/10
The poor man's "Speed", but still enjoyable and easy to watch, and Kristy Swanson is sexier than Sandra Bullock

This is a good example of bubblegum entertainment, though the media coverage of the chase provides a framework for some satirical jabs to go along with the action. The pacing rarely lets up, and there are plenty of spectacular stunts (though not always filmed to maximum effect). The biggest asset is Kristy Swanson: she looks great in every single shot, and her hair is a stylistic triumph (I personally think this hairstyle along with Demi Moore's in "Indecent Proposal" are the sexiest of any actress in the early 1990s at the very least). Her makeout scene with Charlie Sheen inside the car is as (deliberately) unrealistic as it is memorably steamy. Charlie should be grateful to his agent for geting him this role. **1/2 out of 4.
