When it comes to a chase film, you sometimes feel the need to skip past the introductions and just get down to why you’re watching it: the chase.
Whether it’s on foot or a bunch of cars, it’s the chase and the eventual capture that makes it fun. With only a few exceptions (“The Fugitive” and “The Blues Brothers” being two), the buildup is just set dressing, quickly forgotten once the chase begins.
How do you solve that problem? Simple, make your chase film clock in at about 7 minutes. Skip the set up and go for the gravy. And how do you do that without making your audience feel cheated? That ain’t so simple. In that case, you do what writer/director Anthony Tocchio did and make it more than just a people running around in the woods, more than just an elaborate game of tag.
