A horny young man on the prowl for women finds another horny - albeit little older - man on the prowl for women. The reason: to spend a one night stand with a woman. The first one is self-confident, suave and knowledgeable about women; the second one is insecure, hapless and 'creepy' to women. The more unluckier they get with women, the more hotter they become - sort of like all Bond Girls rolled in just one film, or like a chronological playthrough of GTA: SA. I have this saying that if you find a subtitled movie on YouTube, watch it at the earliest time possible before it gets removed, as most of them immediately get. But not all of them are gems, as The Chasers here proves. Even though it has quite a-daring subject matter, it is not really a great film, just so-so. I'm a little confused; is it a boner-inspiring flick, or a morally destructive one?
Anyway, since the story is neither ground-breaking nor is it entertaining with a capital E, I will just cut to the chase: performances. Jacques Charrier was just fine in his role as Freddy. Although he did provide a handsome face, some well acted moments and overall deep understanding to the character, he was badly denied the main spotlight by not-so-good editing and quite-bland script-writing. Following him is Charles Aznavour as Joseph, the hapless of the two, but certainly the most horny. His character has to be one of the most unmemorable characters I've ever seen, as he had absolutely no distinct features or characteristics. The females, however attractive, were just obvious mannequins thrown in as to not to create an isolated environment that is so starkly presented in dystopia movies.
In conclusion, The Chasers is just an average film, and is instantly forgettable, but that doesn't make it one of the worst. Watch it, you might enjoy Jacques Charrier's performance, like I did, somewhat.
