“22 Chaser” (**1/2 out of four) was a feverish melodrama set in L.A. in which an honest and hard-working tow-truck driver (Brian J. Smith) battles with various other drivers and underworld figures and crooked cops (Aaron Ashmore, John Kapelos, and others) in trying to survive on the road and provide for his family but he finds out it’s a really ugly world to be making a living. Not much of a dramatic payoff or even plot but film is well-observed and well-made and holds you in its power with its violence and constant atmosphere of uneasy tension. Strong performance from Smith in the lead makes this imperfect movie worth chasing.
