Chasing Raine

Needless to say that I had of course never heard about the 2024 action thriller titled "Chasing Raine" prior to stumbling upon it by sheer blind luck and opting to sit down and watch it. Sure, I didn't know what I was in for here, aside from it being an action thriller, but with it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course the movie got a fair chance.

Writers and directors Lee Bateman and Quinanthony Bateman put together a rather monotonous and bland script and storyline. The narrative was progressing at an incredibly sluggish pace, which made it quite a struggle to sit through the movie without falling asleep.

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, which is usually something I enjoy when I sit down to watch a movie. While the acting performances in "Chasing Raine" were fair enough, it just wasn't memorable or outstanding performances. But then again, the actors and actresses didn't really have much of anything in terms of script, dialogue or character gallery to work with.

For an action thriller, I was surprised at the lack of both action and thriller contents to the script. It neither felt nor looked like an action thriller. And if you enjoy action thrillers, do yourself a favor and give "Chasing Raine" a wide berth, it just simply isn't worth spending 101 minutes on watching.

My rating of "Chasing Raine" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.
