Global Pursuit

In a valiant attempt to condense a thrilling adventure, "Global Pursuit" unfortunately loses its footing due to hurried storytelling and a questionable sound design approach.

From the very first frame, "Global Pursuit" aspires to captivate with its high-speed narrative. However, the breakneck tempo at which the story unfolds hampers the audience's connection with characters and understanding of their motives. Subplots surface fleetingly, lacking the depth required for a coherent and satisfying storyline.

The film's pacing predicament is exacerbated by its fragmented sound design. While sound is pivotal for immersion, here it morphs into a distracting hurdle. Essential dialogues are often muffled by an inundation of sound effects, leaving vital conversations inaudible. This auditory imbalance significantly impairs the viewer's engagement with the unfolding sequences.

The creators of "Global Pursuit" unmistakably possessed a vision, yet its realization falls disappointingly short. The brief runtime limits the potential for a fully-fledged and immersive narrative. Though glimpses of excitement emerge, they are overshadowed by the pervasive sensation of being briskly shuttled through the story.

In summation, "Global Pursuit" accentuates the significance of allowing a story to breathe, even within a constrained timeframe. With more measured pacing and refined sound design, this film could have delivered a more gratifying experience. Presently, it's a missed chance that leaves both dedicated fans and casual viewers yearning for a more polished and immersive escapade in future cinematic endeavors.

Film work, and I have to say, Global Pursuit makes me want to pursue other activities.

The film tries to emulate the iconic 'Rush Hour' series but ends up delivering less chemistry than a high school dropout in a science lab. Kai Cenat, popular as an internet personality, takes on a role as one of the buddy cops. While he shines online, his acting chops don't quite cut it here. It's like putting ketchup on a chocolate cake - you know both elements are good on their own, but something's just not mixing.

The plot tries to take you on a wild ride but feels more like a slow crawl in peak hour traffic. Instead of making me grip my seat in anticipation, it had me gripping my head in confusion. You know your sting operation's got issues when the audience starts rooting for the bad guys just so the movie can end sooner.

And let's talk about the jokes in this film. You know how they say a joke is like a frog, and if you dissect it, it dies? Well, the jokes in Global Pursuit were already DOA, so I guess the script dissected itself.

To wrap this up, Global Pursuit felt like a half-hour chase scene where everyone was running in circles. While I love a good buddy cop film, this one just didn't arrest my attention.

Streamer Kai Cenat and a fan he met on the street try to recreate a bootleg version of rush hour in Global Pursuit. It is exactly what you would expect. Everything from the acting of either lead, to the script, to the fighting scenes is absolutely atrocious. It's supposed to be a comedy but there are no jokes. Everything about this screams high school project, which makes sense since it was apparently shot in 3 days. I suppose you could tolerate this if you are a big Kai Cenat fan, and pretend it watchable just to support your favorite streamer. Outside of this, I would stay far away from this. 2/10 just because the cinematography is okay.

From going to japan and meeting ray, to flying him out and making a short film with him with only 3 days to shoot. Kai and everyone did a good job in my opinion for there first time. As a fan of rush hour, kai and ray achieved to give me that same feeling and vibe of it. With kai's loud, hyper, funny humor and personality, ties in well to the film and lowkey mirrors Chris tuckers performance in rush hour. With rays broken English and Asian heritage, reflects well with Jackie Chans performance as well. Sure the script is a little forced and falls short in some ways, i was laughing through out the whole video. Kai said he wanted to take acting serious, i think this is a great first step in that direction. Well done to everyone who worked on the film.

I'm an Ebert, and I know exactly how films work. Global Pursuit was the best thing to happen to me and my marriage.

This film pays such great homage to the 'Rush Hour' series, and depicts Kai and Ray's iconic relationship. Up among the ranks of greatest duos of all time is Rick and Morty, Kanye West and germany, pigs and bacon, you have Kai Cenat and Ray. Kai Cenat met Ray in a vlog in Japan in something I dont really know.. But lets focus on the important part- , my marraige. This film saved my marriage, which is why it is the greatest thing. Man no way I spent 10 minutes of my life writing this review. Life has been pretty tough. I recently got laid off working for a kid 10 years younger than me. The nerve on this kid. Well instead of applying to jobs im writing this review. With all that being said.... GLobal pursuit was pretty funny Normally i'd give it like a 4 at best but im feeling generous tonight.
