This is a great movie. Why is it not on DVD? Does anyone know where to get this on DVD?

Guess different things work for different people. I found this 93 minutes of a frantic highway pursuit very confidentally paced and occasionally quite charming even.

An escaped jailbird takes a rich spoilt brat of a girl hostage in a slurpy BMW, all in denial of his incorrect sentencing for a crime we are led to believe he did not commit. Doozy premise, but semi-cleverly executed. And if you think it's too unrealistic, how about the live videos we see in TV numbers such as "Cops"?

The movie squarely points a caustic finger at news-hungry media folks perpetually on the prowl for that next sensational carrion. Plus, there are hints of jabs at inclement parent-child relationships among the affluent.

Far from my ideas of cinematic excellence, not the least of which is a lip-devouring kissing scene nearly as unpleasant to sit through as a double root canal. But a gently rollicking slab of unusual celluloid, which makes for a decent rental at least.

Long after the critical praise of "Wall Street" and "Platoon", and well before the rebirth of "Money Talks" and "Spin City", Charlie Sheen teamed up with Kirsty Swanson for what basically amounts to a mediocre road movie. But it does have its moments.

There are a number of great cameos in the film, including Chili Peppers Anthony Kiedis and Flea, along with Cary Ewes. But the best thing about this movie are the two bonehead cops, played brilliantly by Josh Mostel and Henry Rollins, who's got the best lines in the film

As a comedy its alternately funny and silly, but definitely worth a rental. At just about 90 minutes in length, you won't be rubbing your eyes or your ribs, but you could do much worse.

This movie may be one of those movies you'll hate to love. The plot of the movie is simple and unoriginal, yet you'll find yourself really getting into it. The movie begins with the introduction of Jack Hammond (Charlie Sheen), who's background we know little about. But we do know he is a criminal of some sort; on the run. And as he stops for gas (with a stolen car) he is noticed by two cops. He panics and kidnaps the girl standing next to him (Kristy Swanson, the original 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'), and takes off.

As it turns out, midway through the freeway car chase, Hammond was found guilty of a crime that he didn't commit. And he does anything and everything to keep from getting caught. The movie does provide for a few satisfactory surprises, but for the most part you'll know what's going to happen. And while all this is going on--the fighting between Hammond and Natalie Voss (Swanson)--they begin to fall in love. And if you think that sounds impractical or just plain stupid, you're right. But you have to realize: without the cheap love you really have no movie. So you must look beyond the sometimes too-fake plot in order to enjoy the movie.

As you can imagine, you'll find yourself saying "yeah right" during certain parts of the movie. And the 'sex' scene (if you want to call it that) is so horrible you will laugh out loud. I won't spoil the fun for you, though. All in all, 'The Chase' is a pretty average film with no plotline. But on a brighter note, the cast is very diverse. Aside from Sheen and Swanson, you have Henry Rollins (singer of Rollins' Band) and Josh Mostel (who you may remember from smaller parts in 'Big Daddy' and 'Billy Madison'); both of which who play the cops following the car. Also, there's Red Hot Chili Peppers' Flea and Anthony Kiedis.

'The Chase' is a decent movie, one that may go overlooked. But if you enjoy Charlie Sheen's work, or have always been intrigued by those infamous high-speed chases, you will enjoy this movie. It got 3 stars from me because there's really no plot and it's mostly unoriginal. Yet 3 stars still makes a movie worth seeing; and you should look into this one.

I have noticed people posting their troubles in attempting to locate "The Chase" Original Soundtrack. I too have attempted to locate this soundtrack with great trouble. However, I did not locate the soundtrack but did find a webpage that took the time to post the titles and artist of the music from the movie. And adding to my speculation the page also posted their being unable to locate the soundtrack aswell, making me belive there might not have been an acual soundtrack released. Oh, yeah, oh yeah, and the movie was cool to.
