I'm no Ebert, but I've got a decent grasp of what makes a 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.
