Featured reviews
Though the plot was interesting and kept us engaged, the ending was most definitely "lackluster" - what a bummer.. It made little sense, it is like they ran out of film and just threw something together for the last 5-mins. Too bad, we liked it until the end, despite the soundtrack.
I really loved Sunchaser. The atmosphere off the story breaths hope. It is not to late to learn to live untill your last breath. So if you have 2 hours to spare, and you don't want to rent an Adam Sandler or Jerry Bruckheimer video, rent this one. You won't be disappointed.
