A waste of 90 minutes of my life

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

This picture surfing on the waves of post apocalypse era which have a bunch of them in previous decade,but in this future has a rupture of the society between rich and homeless due the economic crisis,first all Estevez is totally miscating for the role maybe more appropriate for Tom Cruise or mature actor,the future is presented by new kind of cars,ludicrous idea indeed,the best things are Jagger and the sexy Rene Russo in glorious days,a enjoyable flick very underrated by IMDB's users,certainly a second look could be necessary!!Resume:First watch: 1994 / How many: 2 / Source: TV-DVD / Rating: 7

It looks great, it's fast-paced, it has good actors, but it's a turkey. What went wrong? Firstly, one of those actors - Rene Russo - doesn't have her heart in it. And since she's the love interest, that kills the love story. There's been plenty of negative comment about Mick Jagger in this, but he's fine. It seems most people just can't get their heads around such a famous rock star being an actor. The major problem is the script, which probably had merit when written, but ended up after the rewrites making very little sense. You can watch this movie and enjoy the ride, but at the end you just ask yourself, "What the hell was that?".None of it makes much sense. Every scene has been designed as a photo opportunity to make the film's technicians look good on show reels - and they do. But the price paid is to alienate the audience from any identification or lasting enjoyment. So what's so great about this movie? Emilio Estevez. He carries this movie overall, and puts in a good performance. Sadly, his effort is not enough to keep this movie out of the $.99 cent bin. At the time Freejack came out, this cast was A-List. But even with Estevez putting In a solid job, and Jagger doing better than I expected, it could not offset the "phoning it in" performances from Russo and Hopkins. So in closing, it's no masterpiece. But, if you're wanting a throwback sci-fi that is fun to watch, here's your bet. Overall rating: 5 out of 10.

I first saw this movie on TV in 2009, seventeen years after it came out and the very year it ended up being set in. Like many others, I ended up feeling it was better than average due to many factors. Yes, the idea of snatching people from the past the moment before they die was covered in "Millenium," but it was done on an individual basis for a different reason, here. The actors were great, particularly Mick Jagger as the relentless bounty hunter. The one thing that really got me was the scene where Emilio Estevez, from 1991, first views the 2009 Manhattan skyline. The scene pans from the Empire State Building south to the Battery and we see that the Twin Towers have been replaced by a single taller building (the top of which ends up as the scene of the film's climax). Has anyone asked how that scene was thought up in 1992? The first bomb attack in the parking garage of the World Trade Center was in 1993, and was intended to bring down both towers by knocking one into the other. This prophetic film moment lifts "Freejack" into the "must watch" category!

I ended up to watch this film after hunting for some Robert Sheckley short stories. After the "A Ticket to Tranai" I was into everything from him. The film itself is a low cost B movie, a good craftsman's work, worth to be watched on a Sunday afternoon.BUT How it Should Have Ended (HISHE :) )McCandless: I am desperately in love, Julie Redlund. I just adore your brassy hair and round booty.Julie: But sir, this can be considered a sexual harassment, you are my boss, and anyway, I am still mourning after 15 years my sexy race driver love, Alex Furlong.McCandless: No problem, Julie, I have a time machine and we can bring him back to life, right now- of course, it has a price.Julie: I give no head for this, if you mean it, despite Monica did this to our adored ex-president.McCandless: But Julie, this is my proposal: -We get back your husband (and I don't mark that he will be much younger than you, my dear cougar) I upload partly my mind to him, so we will always have a threesome. Deal?Julie: You old pervert!McCandless: After I die, he will get my fortune... Does this look nicer?Julie: Let's nail this agreement right now, I see that there is a plenty of space on your desk.
