Cat Chaser

About This Movie

Cat Chaser is an interesting entry in Abel Ferrara's filmography. It has this gritty Miami vibe, you know? The pacing is a bit slow in parts, but it builds tension well. The atmosphere is thick with danger, especially as our hotel owner, played by a rather compelling character, gets entwined with a general's wife. The themes of past conflicts and personal entanglements add a layer of depth, which is kind of Ferrara's signature. Performances are solid, with the leads bringing a raw energy that feels genuine. The practical effects, while not over the top, fit the tone nicely, avoiding the glossy excess of many late '80s films. There's something to appreciate in its blend of action and thriller elements, though it might not resonate with everyone.
