Car chases have appeared in movies for decades now, and various directors have managed to put their own personal touches on them. Paul Thomas Anderson apparently sought to do just that in his 2025 movie release, One Battle After Another, and he succeeded with flying colors. The sequence in question enhances the already-stellar third act in a major way. Honestly, I thought I’d seen every kind of big-screen, vehicular pursuit, but this stressful and climactic segment is something else.
Major spoilers for One Battle After Another lie ahead.
