faceless driver of a truck I’d like to
report a truck driver that’s been
endangering my life what begins as a
relatively ordinary one-upmanship
between salesman David Mann and the
driver of a tanker truck soon escalates
into a harassment and a deadly game of
road rage with the truck driver making
repeated attempts on man’s life come on
you miss Moffat get a fast truck out of

now benedict drunk in a bar in Mogadishu
who knows I think I do
amnesiac former spy Jason Bourne is
dragged back into the world of
international espionage when he’s framed
for a bombing and must find the
perpetrators all while being pursued by
government agents don’t do it agree I
won’t agree I told you what would happen
if they didn’t leave us alone supremacy
is possibly the series is best outing to
date with all of its hallmarks a shadowy
conspiracy breakneck chases both
vehicular and on foot and brutally
eclectic fight choreography all turned
up to 11 heck even the soundtrack pulls

his pregnant wife and son who hid from
the slavers but are trapped in a well

Anton Chigurh an implacable hit man
whose methodical relentless pursuit
lends the film an aura of quiet Menace
don’t put in your pocket sir come put on
your pot and a jug of water the Coen
brothers who directed this thriller use
the strategy of less is more by rarely
showing direct confrontation between the
two combatants and instead keeping the
threat of violence a constant throughout
letting the audience’s own expectations
provide much of attention losses you
know how it is you need to talk to me I
don’t need to talk I think you do the
fact that moss and sugars final
confrontation does not occur on screen
may disappoint some but there’s no
denying that the chase itself provides
plenty of satisfaction you know this is
gonna turn out don’t you know

in a world with no apparent future what
many of the movies characters are
chasing is hope

to get through this do as I say we can
just hear the comments now about this

development which fury road rarely slows
down for not that we’re complaining
remember me number three catch me if you
can Frank nobody’s chasing you a Steven
Spielberg movie starring Leonardo
DiCaprio and Tom Hanks is a very simple
recipe for success but catch me if you
can is so much more than that the film
which is based on true events ball is a
teenaged con artist named Frank Abagnale
as he evades FBI agent Carl Hanratty
relax you’re late Frank’s cons which
include check fraud impersonating a

parents divorce
Jonesy is open hey it’s been a while
since I’ve done this which ones the jump
seat again Frank and Hanratty mutual

entries I don’t understand sure you do
sometimes it’s easier living the lie
number two the fugitive I didn’t kill my
wife
I don’t care while the innocent convict
story is not exactly original the
fugitive is perhaps the pinnacle of
movies that use this plot device when
dr. Richard Kimble wife is killed by a
one-armed man and the good doctor is
convicted of the crime a fortuitous
accident gives the surgeon the chance to
prove his innocence
Richard is innocent he’ll never find him
he’s too smart hot on his trail or a
group of u.s. marshals led by Samuel
Gerard played by Tommy Lee Jones in a
role that won him an Oscar each and
every one of you as a hard-target search
of every gas station residence warehouse
farmhouse henhouse outhouse and doghouse
in that area checkpoints go up in 15
mile the fugitive is an engaging mystery
that the audience along with Kimball and
the marshals is desperate to unravel
with its timeless appeal and memorable
set pieces like Kimball and Gerard’s
confrontation atop a dam the fugitive is
one of the absolute greatest chase films
