i watch this movie because i like several of the actor and include madsen and shannyn sossamon . shannyn be likable enough that i be willing to watch her in just about anything . which be helpful and give the role she generally get . the mystery involve people turn up dead with polaroid picture leave behind a clue . kevin harrison ( madsen ) be the hardboiled and jaded detective who be retire after this last case . except that this case have connection to mistake he have make in the past . there be a new cop work with him who behave oddly and and the case also involve a link to taylor ( sossamon ) miss father . the narrative be somewhat difficult to follow . it include flashback that seem to contradict each other and motivation that the viewer have to guess at . except that it doesn not really add up to a compelling enough story to make me want to watch it again . some movie may seem complex on first viewing and but be rich enough to go back and examine until you get it . i would not be do that with chase ghost . i think i will re watch l. a. confidential instead .
