Summary: one of my ALL time favorites
Review: I quote Reese Witherspoons's character on a daily basis after being an avid fan of this one of a kind flick. Had this not been so dark , related to Oliver Stone, and been so unknown, Reese should have been nominated for an academy award for her performance in this masterpiece!

What I find interesting in the previous reviews is that not one single person really gave Brooke Sheild the credit she deserved for playing Kiefer Sutherland's" "skipper wife".

This is one of my all time favorites, up there with my very favorite "Wuthering Heights" if that gives anyone the diversity of my tastes. Not to be missed... I almost did miss it myself!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Dear god, This movie is so f'ckin bad!
Review: I a bad a$$ way! Damn near perfect! Very refreshng to see an unknown director make such a brilliant movie that makes those hollywood schmucks look like idiots. It has everything. Guns, Lesbians (Brittany Murphy makes out with Reese in a prison bed, its pretty hot!) and most importantly... Actors. Real live honest actors, yes they exist, that play their roles so closesly it kinda makes want to stay outta Texas. Buy it now. Trust its alot better than Titanic and how many times did you see that. Exactly! Sham on you. NOW go buy. You no buy, you leave store now. Oh yeah theres a sequal based on Hansel and Gretle get that too. I promse it wont suck.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: LITTLE RED RIDING WITH THE HOOD!
Review: Originally I got this movie as a time filler, and to my great surprise I found a Diamond in the rough! , THIS MOVIE HAS EVERYTHING!

This is basically a 90s Little Red Riding Hood story with many twisted twists. Vanessa (Reese Witherspoon) is our Flawed heroine, an illiterate teenage wild child with a Gang banging Boyfriend a Mother whose profession is the oldest one around (ahem!)and a stepfather who is VERY friendly with our Little Red Riding Hood! Well life in general is pretty bad for Vanessa especially when social service gets involved! Exit Vanessa on her way to Dear old Grandmamas home (A Caravan trailer! ), Enter Mr nasty old Wolf (Kiefer Sutherland) called Bob.

Have you ever seen a film where the crook never gets his just desserts, or if he did manage to pay for his nasty deeds it was always towards the end of the movie and was done so disappointingly! Well this little Gem, pays homage to the Charles Bronson and Dirty Harry school of A.. kicking! The Scumbag Chipmunk (sorry for insulting chipmunks! ) gets his face broken all over the place (YEAH! ) There are many laughable moments dotted all over this well told classic fairytale! Definately not for kids, not that the original story was any more suitable (violence wise! eating grandma etc! )

I dont wish to sound like some demented LYNCH'IM type, but I must confess that the more civilised part of my brain gets mixed up, when Real Scumbags get a slap on the wrist, while the victims ends up tormented for the rest of their lives. That was why, I sooo enjoyed this movie (My primative side found release! ) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: One Of The Best Killer/Kill The Killer Movies Avaliable...
Review: Brilliant.... A must for all fans of Serial Killers Flicks! A fabo flick whith loads of foul language and good effect ( That are not over the top). A very beleivable film...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Little Red Riding Hood for the 90's!
Review: This wickedly perverse black comedy features a stellar performance by Reese Witherspoon, this girl can really act. Exploitative and excessively violent, it is also extremely entertaining and deffinitely not for the squeamish. Kiefer Sutherland also gives a noteworthy performance as the sick killer. Overlong and overdone in places but worthwhile because of Whiterspoon's performance, which ultimately walks away with the movie. From a scale of 1-10 I give this movie a 7!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Indy Flick
Review: This is what indie movies should be like. This movie is very edgy with some great directing. Reese Witherspoon dose a great job and nobody will look at her the same way again after her great performance. Kiefer Sutherland makes a lasting impression without an overkill in screen time and the story is exellent but very screwed up. A definate buy for anybody that enjoys a good quality moive that dose not depend on speicial effects.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Take the ride....you won't be disappointed!
Review: Let me say up front, that I'm a fan of Reese Witherspoon. She's done a good job in a number of diverse roles from "Fear" to "Election". I personally think this is her best performance. Freeway is not a movie for everyone, the subject matter is quite confronting, and the violence is pretty graphic. However, the movie is first and foremost a dark comedy, and it's very funny! The scene in the courtroom with Reese and Keifer had me rolling on the floor. I've shown this movie to a number of friends, and without exception, they've all enjoyed the film. The sound and image quality are both excellent, which adds to the overall value of the DVD. To sum up, if you enjoy dark comedies, fine acting, and are not terribly sqeamish, then "Freeway" may be just the ticket for your next movie night.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious
Review: The first time I saw this movie, it was from the point when Vanessa discovers the truth about Kiefer Sutherland's character in the Explorer. I have never seen Reese Witherspoon like this before and I was hooked. I could not stop laughing. Talk about dark humor. The scenes where she reveals her "checkered" past was a riot.

It wasn't as strong as Natural Born Killers, but, I think it is right up there with that type of movie. It is definitely in your face. It reminded me of Resevoir Dogs. You can't help but laugh at even the most gruesome image.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great acting by Witherspoon
Review: One of my all time favorite movies. Reese Witherspoon did a phenomenal acting job. A great dark comedy. A twist to the fairy tale "Little Red Riding hood".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: i lovvve this movie!
Review: Freeway is one of the best movies I have ever seen! It is also one of the cheapest, but who cares - its funny, witty, crazy, and just plain cool! If you love Reese witherspoon you will LOVE this movie, you haven't seen Reese's best, until you've seen this one! :)
