Watch Freejack For Free

Very disappointing...

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Freejack is one of the BEST SciFi movies of this decade. The others are as follows... Dark City-1998, The Matrix-1999, Twelve Monkeys-1995, The Fifth Element-1997, eXistenZ-1999. There are others I like however, Men In Black is not really a SciFi movie (on and on). But for any list not to include Freejack is dreadfully mistaken!!Everyone in this movie does a nice job INCLUDING Mick Jagger!! The story is the mainstay and gridiron of this movie. It doesn't need special effects (or dumb CARTOON -computer generated people like avatar). The story is a wonderful depiction of how rich people in the future will buy immortality. I highly recommend this move for anyone but especially for SciFi aficionados!!!

Usually these types of time travel stories wind up giving me a headache, but this one was pretty straightforward (no pun intended). The protagonist, Alex Furlong (Emilio Estevez) is transported into the future..., and stays there. No attempt to get back to his former 'present time'; no fooling around with time lines that might affect the history of mankind. What made the picture interesting watching it today was that Alex was 'sent' eighteen years into the future from 1991 to - 2009! That was sort of cool - but in the movie's 2009, the country was already in the tenth year of a major depression instead of the first, like many today would have us believe. And it brought a chuckle to imagine if the ten million dollar bounty on Freejack Alex might have been offered by a company using bailout funds. Just thinking outside the movie box.I got a kick out of that scene in the bar when Alex is threatened by the marmaduke looking moron with his weapon, and Alex puts his on the counter with that sly Billy the Kid grin he used in "Young Guns".The attraction back in the day of course was Mick Jagger headlining a theatrical release. His performance wasn't all that bad, even if over the top a few times, which the director might have actually called for. I liked that 'One Mississippi' bit, and the idea that he had a sense of fair play in balancing his job with consideration for Furlong's catching him a break in the alley.The best concept though was the 'spiritual switchboard' - don't you think we could all use one of those?

This is a great film for film's sake and the fact that it is a good take your-girl-to-the-movies film but falls short of being as epic or as special as something like Bladerunner, which is still played in the theaters today, alas, therefore you'll be watching this with your girl at home and not in the theaters.The movie generally keeps you stimulated from the beginning through the rest of the film and you get interesting glimpses at what 2009 is perceived to be like. I wonder if the makers of Freejack knew that 2009 isn't as crazy as they thought it would be.Still the concepts in this movie are fresh and sci-fi, down to traveling back in time, replacing your about-to-be-killed corpse with a clone with the intention of kicking your supposed-to-be-dead soul out of your body and replacing it with a high paying client's well-to-do spirit, among other things! I give this movie a 7 because I would normally give a movie like this a 5 or 6 but they get an extra point for the increase in entertainment value by virtue of the neat sci-fi.Warning: Mick Jagger is in this movie. :p

I am not looking for Oscar quality here, just entertainment. I'll give any movie a try that has Rene Russo and Sir Anthony Hopkins.The premise sounds something like a sci-fi variation of Here Comes Mr. Jordan, known to modern movie goers as Heaven can Wait. i love both movies, so this has peaked my interest.Mick Jagger is not an actor, but he gave a reasonably good impression of one here. Jonathan Banks is an actor, one that I come across frequently on TV, and he doesn't disappoint. Neither does Frankie Faison, another actor who I have seen frequently. And, there is a nunsploitation angle as Amanda Plummer plays a hard cussing, shotgun toting nun, who helps Alex (Emilio Estevez).The first vision we have is a dystopian America where bullets fly on the street, but, right next to this, in Sector 9, things are very Republican. This is where Alex catches up with Julie (Russo), who doesn't believe it is him.This is a fantastic and explosive action movie with everything one could want. Well, I would have liked to see Russo as she appeared in The Thomas Crown Affair, but you can't have everything.
