Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Max Chase (Blayne Weaver) is a Shreveport, Louisiana man who has made "bad life choices" and is on parole in the custody of his sister Isobel, assistant DA. Max owes John aka "The Man" (Lance Henriksen) a paltry $3,000 which seems like a fortune, certainly Max could get that for his truck. When his sister goes missing Max goes to look for her and her killer in a very twisty plot, blaming everyone in town.The film was okay, nothing to crow about. They use a terrible pun title, and then use a pun name like "Max Chase" and never have a chase scene. They do show Chase bank in the background...why? It doesn't play a part other than to show us the writer was a dimwit who created words and images that didn't tie together. The last film twist was simply idiotic. Even though Isobel goes missing early in the film, she is present in a number of flashbacks. The acting was better than the script writing. Blayne Weaver should have bought a script instead of attempting to write his own...one that didn't rely on a bad pun to try to look clever.Guide: F-word, sex, nudity? Winner of 6 various indie awards...which means it is good when compared to bad films.PLOT SPOILER: The one line film description used by Amazon and IMDb is a bit of a spoiler. We know Isobel goes missing. She is presumed killed and not kidnapped for most of the film. C'mon Blayne, get your act together.

People who marked 8-10 are the actors family or similar. They try to show it as the best of the all times movie. It is an extreme exaggerationWho marked 2 was an enemy. He think there not could be something worst, that it is not an objective appreciation It is a intrigue movie, not such deep, not vulgar, an average plus. To watch as an relatively easy movie

This is truly an exciting, action packed noir thriller. The writing is engaging and the actors have the chemistry to pull off the surprising twists and turns of the story. Blayne Weaver writes, directs, and stars in this exciting addition to your action films portfolio. His ability to choose the right cast once again comes through with an amazing, believable adventure. Lance Henriksen is a perfect bad guy as he gives life to the villain of the underworld, The Man. Cut to the Chase is the first action thriller that Weaver has brought to the screen, following Six Month Rule, Weather Girl, Outside Sales, and Manic. You won't be disappointed!

Cut to the Chase is a great crime drama. The first thing I told told my wife as we left the premier was that it reminded me of a great Elmore Leonard story. It wasn't trying to be Leonard. There was no copying. Instead it was the same feel. The dialogue, the characters were very much like Leonard. My wife also called it a love letter to Shreveport, the city where it was filmed. I agree. So thanks Blayne Weaver for making a movie that is truly enjoyable.The story itself is straight forward. Max Chase, long term loser (played by writer/director Blayne Weaver) is in trouble with a crime boss. The setting is Shreveport, Louisiana. The man's sister is a local Assistant DA and has vouched for him to keep him out of prison. He needs his sister to help him pay a gambling debt. Only she has disappeared. Now Max has to find his sister and help her, or avenge her. The story has all of the great crime thriller tropes. We have the loser, the hard working sister, the deadbeat father, the organized crime boss, the southern DA, the thugs, and the bartenders. It is a fun film and I look forward to many more great movies from Blayne Weaver.
