IN WHICH OUR HERO… On foot, runs after the bad guy
SETTING UP THE SCENE: FBI agent Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves) is hot on the heels of Bodhi (Patrick Swayze), the leader of the “Ex-Presidents,” a gang of surfing bank robbers…
WHY IT’S SO GREAT: The frantic energy of a low-angle handheld camera tracking these two through narrow alleys and houses.
BEST PART: Bohdi hurling a pit bull at Utah: assault with a deadly pet. (2:50)
OTHER GREAT CHASES LIKE THIS ONE: Matt Damon in hot pursuit of an assassin in The Bourne Ultimatum. And the loving homage from Hot Fuzz.
