An ex-con sets out in search of his kidnapped sister through the criminal underbelly of Shreveport, Louisiana. 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! 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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>Guide: F-word, sex, nudity? Winner of 6 various indie awards…which means it is good when compared to bad films.<br/><br/>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.
