Altogether this is the sort of film you could quietly sleep through on a long-haul flight and not miss anything. Go to Full Review Joel Copling Spectrum Culture Mar 20, 2022
This is a needless parade of junky action beats, barely held together by a plot as creaky as an old bedspring. Go to Full Review Leo Brady AMovieGuy.com Mar 4, 2022

Its about as bad as it gets with Pursuit. Go to Full Review Tom Meek Cambridge Day Feb 24, 2022

None of it works, but it’s nice to watch Cusack’s Jack often trimming and grilling up lean, 30-day-aged steaks... Go to Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media Feb 19, 2022
2/5
This messy, convoluted action movie is so incomprehensible that it's difficult to say what it's actually about, other than a whole bunch of characters shooting each other and blowing stuff up. Go to Full Review James Verniere Boston Herald Feb 18, 2022

Jesse H @RT58523820 Mar 25, 2025 Put me to sleep for the night quite early. I couldn't ever snap out of it. See more Elizabeth H @RT08213567 Dec 14, 2023 Hmmm, where to begin...just don't. See more Harley V @Harley09 Mar 8, 2022 Horrible movie. The so-called cop that stars in the movie, (Rick Calloway), is a total punk, a tiny boy that people just walk over and brush aside, he is too afraid to stand up for himself. Kind of destroys the whole concept of the movie. The story line is tough to follow as it is all over the place. There is no hero in this movie just tough to watch scenarios as they are written like Monday morning soap operas. The only character with any personality is the villain. See more Feb 22, 2022 Good story potential. Bad acting and camera work. See more Justin W @Loonsan Feb 21, 2022 Pursuit for messy and tasteless perhaps; nothing rings here. Maybe Cusack needs a retirement allowance. See more Jerad W @JeraBear Feb 18, 2022 O how the mighty have Fallen........I think after this debacle of a "Film", Hirsh & Cusack will have to, in the tradition of Nick Cage, appear/act in more, even worse movies, just to pay off their current debt(s) & the like.....or whatever other reason(s) they (unwisely) decide to appear in "Films" of this low-ball caliber. If I wasn't laughing so hard......it might be a bit sad. As it is, we are now truly present & witness to the death knell for the Golden Age of Film.......it's going....going......GONE (with the wind*) (*Remember when there were 5-8 GOOD Films that came out each & every year? These days, we're lucky if we receive 1 to 2....if that................as I said, sad) " Say Goodnight To The Folks, Gracey." See more Read all reviews
