What begins as a New York City techno-thriller about a kidnapped wife turns into a drug cartel war in rural Arkansas. The film has a spectacularly convoluted plot but keeps the adrenaline pumping with gritty action scenes. The unsparing violence pivots wildly from absurd to awesome throughout the sleek runtime. I could easily pick apart its flaws but honestly had fun watching the carnage.<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #1! --><!-- No winning ad found for zone: Below First Paragraph! --><!-- No winning ad found for zone: mid intro! --><br \/>\nEmile Hirsch, rocking a scorpion face tattoo, stars as brilliant criminal hacker Rick Calloway. His estranged wife (Shelby Yardley) has been mysteriously taken. He receives videos of her gagged and brutalized. Rick uses his computer wizardry to track down a drug dealer he thinks is involved. He attacks during an undercover NYPD narcotics sting. Putting him on the radar of Mike Breslin (Jake Manley), a cop whose wife (Alexandria DeBerry) was murdered as payback.<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><\/p>\n<div id=\"adsninja-ad-zone-MW-Reg-Org\" class=\"adsninja-ad-zone\">\n<div id=\"dynamically-injected-refresh-ad-zone-MW-Reg-Org\" class=\"dynamically-injected-refresh-ad-zone\">\n<div class=\"ad-current\">\n<div id=\"ad-zone-container-MW-Reg-Org\" class=\"ad-zone-container ad-zone-container-content-character-count-repeatable-1\" data-no-fill-collapsable=\"false\"><strong class=\"ad-zone-advertising-tag\">MOVIEWEB VIDEO OF THE DAY<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Meanwhile, in Arkansas, Rick\u2019s father, John Calloway (John Cusack), watches over his grandson (Valor Hirsch). We learn that John is a powerful drug lord. He shares a criminal empire with another dangerous gangster, Frank Diego (Andrew Stevens). His son, John (Graham Patrick Martin), has been outed as a homosexual by Rick\u2019s hacking. Frank Diego has had enough of Rick Calloway as a loose cannon. John swears to his partner that he can control his son. Rick believes that someone affiliated with his father\u2019s cartel took his wife. He stirs a hornet\u2019s nest of trouble by luring Mike Breslin to Arkansas.<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #2! --><!-- No winning ad found for zone: native in content! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"pursuit-gets-plenty-of-style-points\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pursuit_Gets_Plenty_of_Style_Points\"><\/span> Pursuit Gets Plenty of Style Points<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Pursuit gets style points for the gunplay. Director Brian Skiba, a prolific B-movie filmmaker, uses slow motion to heighten the severity of bullet impacts. He brings the action to a standstill and then resumes at full speed as organs are shredded. The film is also loaded with fist and knife fights. Several had me laughing out loud as the blood didn\u2019t look realistic. The humor turns quickly to gasps as characters get medieval on each other. Eyeballs and forks are a gruesome combination.<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><br \/>\nPursuit has enough backstabbing and betrayals to rival a Mexican soap opera. John Cusack and Emile Hirsch take family problems to an extreme level. They are deadly players in a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> where the cash flow reigns supreme. The film\u2019s best tenet keeps you guessing where their allegiances lie. Rick is willing to burn everyone to find his wife. Can John sacrifice his son? Or does blood loyalty supplant millions in drug revenue? The answer is clear-cut and definitive.<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #3! --><br \/>\nAction junkies will definitely get a fix here. Pursuit holds no character sacred. The film surprises constantly with shocking deaths and torture. One scene in particular had me literally jumping out of my seat. I found the unpredictable nature of the narrative to be refreshing. It\u2019s sensational as hell, overblown, and doesn\u2019t hold up to scrutiny; but will keep your attention rapt.<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><br \/>\nPursuit is a production of Andrew Stevens Entertainment, Cartouche, Grindstone Entertainment Group, and Milestone Studios. It will have a concurrent VOD and limited theatrical release on February 18th from Lionsgate.<\/p>\n<p>                                                                                                                                                                                            <!-- No winning ad found for zone: above next button! --><\/p>\n<div class=\"next-btn-img\">\n<div class=\"bc-img responsive-img img-article-next-btn\">\n<figure>\n        <picture>\n            <!--[if IE 9]>\n            <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"320px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Disney-Plus.jfif?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=320&amp;h=240&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"140px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Disney-Plus.jfif?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=140&amp;h=140&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n                            <img width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Marvel One Shot Hail to the King The Mandarin Ben Kingsley \"\/>\n                    <\/picture>\n            <\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"next-btn-text lines-trim\">\n            <strong><span class=\"next-btn-text-title\">Explained: Why You Need to Watch Marvel&#8217;s All Hail the King<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"next-btn-text-p\">Marvel&#8217;s One-Shot All Hail the King brought back Ben Kingsley&#8217;s Trevor Slattery.
