Title of film fools you., 17 August 2003
Author: yarborough from northridge, ca

Saying the title of this film, Northern Pursuit, you think cool this film is all about pursuits and chases all over the north. Non-stop action, can't miss, should be a lot of fun to watch. The answer, WRONG!!Northern Pursuit is another disappointing Errol Flynn film after 1942, where he seemed to lose the magic touch of his previous film's. Errol is fantastic as always, but the problem is the rest of the weak cast, the boring script, and the slow-moving directing of Roaul Walsh. This film has no exciement, no thrills, just non-stop slow moving scenes. In making this film it's obvious the studio had in mind to have lighting strike twice, with the combination of Flynn/Walsh and Nazis. The same formula they had the year before this in the non-stop action packed Desperate Journey. No lighting, just cold, frigid ice and snow. This film could've really kicked ass if the script and directing was done differently. I recommend for you to skip this one, and watch Desperate Journey instead. *1/2 out of ****.
