Synopses for Cat Chaser (1989)
1.
Crime novelist Elmore Leonard cowrote the script for CAT CHASER (based on his book) and Abel Ferrara (BAD LIEUTENANT) directed, filling the screen with his usual eye-popping doses of nudity and violence. Peter Weller stars Miami hotel owner and former U.S. paratrooper George Moran, who finds trouble when gets mixed up with the wife (Kelly McGillis) of a deposed general of the Dominican Republic (Tomas Milian) where Moran fought during the U.S. invasion. Charles Durning costars as Jiggs, a grinning, ruthless ex-cop who has a scheme to relieve the general of his wealth. Of course, the plot only thickens from there. A relaxed chemistry between Weller and McGillis helps make this sexy thriller work, and Durning is typically sensational as the "friendly" thug at the center of all the trouble. Chick Corea did the smoldering jazz soundtrack, and Frederic Forrest appears as a drunken soldier buddy of Moran's. Fans of Leonard’s fiction, and films like GET SHORTY, OUT OF SIGHT, and JACKIE BROWN should enjoy CAT CHASER's mix of funny dialogue, lush tropical scenery, laid-back characters, and intricate crime plotting.

Passion. Greed. Murder. Tonight they pay.
Superstars Kelly McGillis (The Accused, Top Gun) and Peter Weller (RoboCop, Leviathan) ignite a smoldering passion with chilling consequences in the erotic thriller Cat Chaser, also starring two-time Academy Award-nominee Charles Durning.
Something was calling former Lance Corporal George "Cat Chaser" Moran away from his quiet Miami retreat-the haunting memory of his violent brush with death. On a trip to Santo Domingo in search of the woman who saved his life, George Moran instead reunites with the sensual Mary de Boya - a woman whose love could cost him everything. George plunges into a passionate affair with Mary, the wife of a cunning and powerful millionaire. He's about to pay the steep price for lust, deception and revenge.
