Summary: Reese Witherspoon is insane! (In a good way!)
Review: This movie is all you'll ever need if you're into girls kicking total [rear]! The dialogue is chalk full of wit and humor to keep you interested and on your toes. Reese Witherspoon plays an outstanding role, and this is one of those movies that you can watch over and over again. Definitely worth buying!

Summary: Witherspoon on fire!!!
Review: A tour de force for wunderkind Reese Witherspoon --
who proves herself capable of portraying a runaway
semi-literate white trash kid from the wrong side
of the tracks (modern urban Little Red Riding
Hood) -- she murders a man (Kiefer Sutherland)--
or thinks she has -- who gives her a lift
on the freeway only to assault her -- a
terrific supporting cast including Dan Hedaya
(the investigating cop), Amanda Plummer
(drug-addict prostitute Mom) & Brooke Shields
(self-righteous & deluded bourgeoise wife of
the rapist/murderer victim 'Wolf' Sutherland)
The legal system naturally supports the
wheelchair-bound victim of social standing
while condemning the youthful perpetrator -- Stands next to Election & Pleasantville
as among Witherspoon's best -- but by
far the most powerful performance despite
the director's mis-step in the off-key
final seconds -- Well worth ten bucks for Witherspoon fans --
a great antidote for those cuted-out by
her Alicia Silverstone imitation in
'Legally Blonde' -- Highly recommended --

Summary: Little Red, riding in the 'hood.
Review: Rather disgusting update of the "The Little Red Riding Hood" children's parable. First of all, a relatively novice director like Matthew Bright would have been better advised to avoid trucking around in traditional myths and tales -- the masters have a hard enough time doing this sort of thing, and they don't always succeed. Naturally, a newcomer like Bright has to TELL us how clever he is: the opening credits deflate any suspense about what's coming in the movie . . . as does the villain's name ("Bob Wolverton") . . . as does Reese Witherspoon skipping down a trailer park carrying a bright red basket. The plot, therefore, is tiresome. As is, by the way, the then-trendy (1996) Tarantino-esque fascination with "colorful" eccentrics, likeable criminals, and generous splashes of gore. Some reviewers here have insisted that Bright was SATIRIZING Tarantino and his many imitators; as far as I can see, Bright is just one of the many imitators. However, the director is helped considerably by Reese Witherspoon in an undeniably overwhelming performance. She engages our sympathies and fascination. In fact, we become so taken with her that the movie sometimes seems more suspenseful than it deserves to be.

Summary: Freeway is a Really, Really Good Movie!!!!!!
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed the movie the first 5 times I watched--now I've seen it at least 20 times and cannot get enough of Reese's sarcastic, down-to-earth wit! She is truly Vanessa in this movie and deserves a lot more praise for her acting abilities. This is one of the all-time great movies and ranks in my top 10 best movies. This is a great movie and I recommend it to everyone who can overlook the brief violence and delve into Vanessa's character and see her for the intelligent, caring, funny person she is.

Summary: Custom-made cult item
Review: Director Matthew Bright follows the Tarantino formula of taking bits and pieces of other movies and patching them into an "original" quilt that stops just a few stitches short of out-and-out plagarism. In this case, we have threads of "Caged Heat" and "Gun Crazy" with a whiff of the real-life story of female serial killer Aileen Wurnos. Reese Witherspoon's alternately scary and hilarious turn as a white-trash psycho-princess is what saves this film from becoming typical Direct To Video-type fodder. Keifer Sutherland is also darkly amusing as the freeway killer-turned-"victim". As many have mentioned, the film is not for the squeamish, although you may find yourself laughing at some of the "sick" elements in spite of yourself. The opening 10 minutes stands on its own as a near-brilliant parody of a typical "Cops" vignette. As an "update" of "Little Red Riding Hood", "Freeway" is not quite as clever (and certainly not as subtle) as, say, "Company Of Wolves", but thanks to Witherspoon's charisma and acting savvy, still entertaining.

Summary: Worthy of Cult status!
Review: Freeway was a little idependent film that came out a few years ago with little fanfare. Do not be fooled by its lackluster debut, however, because this film is a true revelation. Reese Witherspoon is brilliant as a foul-mouthed white-trash heroine and Keifer Southerland's face is a classic. The movie works wonders as both a superficial comedy and thoughtfull satire, and stands on its own as one of the best social comments of the 90s. It's Clueless on acid! Gets better with every viewing!

Summary: REESE ROCKS!
Review: Reese Witherspoon is so fun to watch in this movie. What an excellent actress! She is so funny, and her expressions are priceless! Brooke Shields is about the only one that needs a few acting pointers in this movie. Everyone else is great. The only thing that could make this DVD better would be some extra features like interviews or behind the scenes stuff. Otherwise, it is a MUST HAVE!!!!

Review: Hands down, this movie is the best "bad" movie I've ever seen. John Waters, eat your heart out! Reece Witherspoon is hilarious.

Summary: Muddled.
Review: 'Freeway' is a loud, hybrid film that is scuppered by its own hybridity. It is never quite sure whether it wants to be a fairy tale, a rites-of-passage teen movie, a dark neo-noir thriller, a road movie, a black comedy, a white-trash cartoon a la John Waters, or a media satire. Actually, it wants to be all these things, causing lopsidedness whenever any one element is privileged. 'Freeway' wants to be a blackly comic, violent cartoon, but also to sympathise with its put-upon heroine - the crude caricatures of the first make it difficult to do the second. Kiefer Sutherland's turn from caring psychologist to slavering psychopath is well enough done, but completely devoid of tension, because the familiar fairy tale story ('Little Red Riding Hood') has been so broadly signalled, that a character called Wolverton can only be one thing. This section relies on too much tedious conversation between the leads to provide back-story - this clunky device would have been more effective if we hadn't been forewarned about its inevitable outcome. As the 'media satire' bit kicks in, there are a few lazy jokes to be had regarding Brooke Shields and a now deformed Sutherland (if you like laughing at the disabled), but the attempts to place Witherspoon in a feminist, girls-communal context are distinctly iffy in a film directed by a man who delights in putting his heroine through all sorts of hell. The film, which is essentially a teen movie, bravely asserts the brutality of the police, the links between its aggession and a sex-killer's prurient curiosity, but eventually cops out (sorry) from this startling insight (startling, because movies rarely state it so bluntly). 'Freeway' is still a cut above most Hollywood fodder, with some wit among the noise, some invention among the flash, and an always interesting performance from an up-and-coming Reece Witherspoon.
