Street Hunter - A merciless hunt (Original title: Rescue Me ) is an American action comedy from 1992. The film is primarily intended for a young audience and was produced by Cannon Films .
action
Fraser ( Stephen Dorff ) is a pubescent teenage half-orphan who lost his father in the war. Handsome and yet unnoticed by his crush, Ginny ( Amy Dolenz ), a banker's daughter, he follows her unnoticed with his camera and shoots snapshots and portraits of her. Inadvertently, he learns about a date with her and a pretty boy from school. He takes the opportunity and reaches the meeting point on time.
While he waits on site and well hidden, Fraser can inevitably pass his time with snapshots that he takes between a couple of crooks. Apparently there is an illegal exchange of money and goods taking place. When Ginny and her boyfriend get on the scene, chaos breaks out and guns are drawn. Fraser becomes the only invisible witness when Ginny is dragged out of her friend's convertible and kidnapped by two of the crooks. Meanwhile, the girl's friend is looking for the runway.
Fraser develops the snapshots taken and arranges a meeting with the remaining crook Mac ( Michael Dudikoff ). He pressures him with the photos and forces him to go on a search for Ginny with him. The crooks have meanwhile contacted the girl's father and are now trying to extort a ransom. While the police are groping in the dark, the two are already on Mac's motorcycle on their way to follow the trail of the crooks.
The movie turns into a road movie genre, and Mac and Fraser go on some adventures on the way to Ginny. For example, they find themselves in a brothel and have more or less serious conversations about love and war. At the end of the film, Fraser recognizes a father figure in Mac and gives Ginny, who suddenly becomes interested in the boy after the spectacular rescue, the pass. The money stolen from the crooks, which was exchanged at the beginning of the film, is partly "donated" by Mac for the school fees and education of Fraser.
criticism
"A road movie with pretty travel pictures, some touching moments and little tension - far from cinematic surprise and the German distribution title."
