22 Chaser

22-Chaser is a 2018 Canadian thriller drama film directed by Rafal Sokolowski, written by Jeremy Boxen, and starring Brian J. Smith, Raoul Trujillo, Aaron Ashmore, Kaniehtiio Horn, and John Kapelos.

Meanwhile, Ben's tow truck competitors make big money as "chasers", racing to accidents and exploiting the victims with tolls, and add-on services.

His boss offers the prospect of a profitable Police contract but demands a large rental payment for the truck which Ben cannot afford.

[4] This is conveyed through the contrast and tensions between the main character's two lives - the dangerous and brutal work of chasing accidents and his private family life at home.

[4] Following this theme, writer Jeremy Boxen took care to first create the family drama so that the audience would appreciate the motivations and emotional conflicts in the tow-truck storyline.

[4][3] Sokolowski shared credit for meeting these challenges with the pre-filming work of the creative producers, director of photography and his team, and the departmental heads.

[6] In his review of 22 Chaser for the Los Angeles Times, Noel Murray praised the story and its realistic themes but felt the character of Ben was too intelligent and capable to have fallen into such a predicament.

[7] Reviewing for Now Toronto, Norman Wilner complimented the visual style of the direction, the performances, cinematography and pacing of the story but criticized a lack of energy and a still atmosphere.
