Good start, but then it gets ruined

Excellent, a Must See

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Firstly I am a Fairbrass fan, I like macho cockney geezers, I like Brit films and I like action underdog films. This is clearly all four of these. This makes it a cult film for a select few only. It will suffer from Hollywood comparisons (Taken, Face, Lock Stock, Rise of, Essex Boys even Love, Honour and Obey all miles better) and that is a shame as it is a small film (£2 mill budget) that needs to be judged as it stands alone. I guess it is ambitious from a small team, but I accept it is an easy current story laced with masculine themes and action. If you are up for a brainless revenge chase action romp then this has all the content needed, with dodgy simple acting and accents throughout.Freight will get slated but I enjoyed it. It is relatively well paced, shot in good definition and a solid enough Brit Movie. Fairbrass and Murray team up once again (Dead Cert) and this is their best film by far. Many critics will question these TV actors (soap EastEnders) intent on being movie stars (however small a film) but for fans of the Danny Dyer genre of modern Brit gangster films this is a good watch.Romanian sex-trafficking gang steal a toilet trailer with son in law inside, from a Boxing Club gangster. They go to get it back, using over the top force, killing a few of the gang. Evil leader Christie gets revenge by bombing the boxing club, and stealing Taylor's daughter. The revenge games then begin, with a dose of cage fighting, prostitution out of a strip club and the usual guns and explosive killings to find his daughter. Better than Bonded by Blood, but not as good as Rise of The Footsoldier.

Freight probably rates high on the list of worst movies I've ever viewed. Are the reviewers who gave this movie the thumbs up high on LSD? Okay, so the concept is great and has potential however the poor acting, poorer casting, complete lack of depth to main characters, bad cinematography and gaping holes throughout the narrative ruin any chance of obtaining ANY potential the concept has. My wife has now banned me from deciding our next films to view choices (I'm ashamed to admit it was my idea to watch Freight, I can't even lay blame on another!). How on earth the producers managed to gain finance for this film is completely beyond me. WARNING! LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO WASTE TIME WATCHING BAD MOVIES ;)

As a fan of British movies and gangster films in particular I had looked forward to seeing this and was not disappointed. Good story which is help together by decent acting and well defined characters. Great action, well directed and a film to enjoy over and over. Some films in a similar genre try too hard to thrill and excite. Freight simply builds and holds the attention. For me this has the feel of a good old fashioned British film in so much that you care about what happens next, not often the case in many of the huge big budget Hollywood epics. We have all seen films where you are willing the end to draw to a close. With Freight you want to see more and that's the mark of a great film. No hesitation in giving this 10 out of 10!

Now I love a proper good Brit gangster flick, and the story sounded promising, the cast looked promising and the film started reasonably well. However it all quickly fell apart the acting for the most part was terrible, the direction was poor and the violence and action scenes were laughable. It was hard to connect with any of the characters that we were supposed to as they were so cardboard and the bad guys, tilt head back look down nose and spit a lot whilst talking in a comparethemeerkat.com accent does not a convincing bad guy make. Thankfully the film wasn't that long otherwise I would have turned it off, it was like watching an expensively made college project where a couple of name actors had donated their services.
