Why Watch This
Stephen Sommers delivers a kinetic, low‑budget thrill ride that feels like a love letter to ’80s arcade chases. Matt Lattanzi’s charismatic turn as a fast‑talking grifter keeps the momentum humming from start to finish.

The CinePearl Take
While the script leans on familiar cat‑and‑mouse tropes, Sommers’ direction injects enough visual flair to make the chase sequences pop. Lattanzi’s performance is surprisingly layered, balancing swagger with a hint of vulnerability that elevates the film above its modest budget. Grant Heslov provides solid comic relief, and the pacing, though uneven in the middle act, picks up dramatically for a satisfying climax.
