Summary: Amazing performance by Reese Witherspoon
Review: This is in my opinion one of the best movies I have seen to date. Although this movie is extremely violent it was also well done and captured my attention from start to finish. I am not one to view movies more than once, however this is one that I have seen several times. Reese Witherspoon's performance is mind-blowing. I have to admit the little red riding hood theme did seem a bit hokey at first but all in all it fit well into the surrealistic theme of the movie. A definate must see in my opinion.

Summary: Best movie I've ever seen
Review: This film is definitely the best movie I've ever seen. It depicts the struggle of a young poverty stricken 15 y/o facing the hardships of a California life. The most memorable part, for me, was expressing her love of God through prayer which gives the viewer a strong sense of hope and well being for her future.

Summary: A movie showing off Reese's TRUE acting skills!!!!
Review: Freeway is the story of a young girl, Vanessa Lutz (Reese Witherspoon), who takes a little "trip" to grandma's house. Unfortunately, a few bad things happen when she runs into someone worse than the "Big, Bad Wolf". Grab some popcorn, and curl up on the couch as Reese Witherspoon wraps you up in a modern, much more grown-up remake of the classic, "Little Red Ridding Hood." ...Wait!! Don't get the wrong idea! This is no fairy tale! This fast-paced thriller/adventure is NO bedtime story! Also starring: Keiffer Sutherland, Brooke Shields

Summary: RESSE WITHERSPOON IS OUTSTANDING!
Review: Reese Withrspoon gives the performance of a lifetime. She fits into the role of Vanessa Lutz like a shoe. She is so focused in this film on her character that she is so wonderful. Other actresses as young as Reese Witherspoon have not givin such a strong performance. Am I forgetting Kiefer Sutherland? Nope, he is a perfect villian who is so crazy in this film and his sinister presence really moves along the madness of his character. My opinion of this film is, it puts a little ol' Little Red Riding Hood desguise on and follows Reese witherspoon to her grandmothers house. She encounters the not-so-usaul-problems, but little more twisted problems then Riding Hood does. Reese Witherspoon gives the performance of a lifetime and this is really a great film. A must see for everyone. Its really a truthful film.

Summary: Reese is a psycho b-tch in this!!
Review: Reese Witherspoon is staggering in this movie...she plays a girl from the seedier side of life who at first just struggles and then decides to make things work FOR her, instead of being torn down. 'Freeway' was the rare film that honestly surprises you, so I won't give anything away.... but really, you have to see this movie. It's a Little Red Riding Hood fable gone 90's.

Summary: Amazing performance by Mz Witherspoon.
Review: This was the only movie I saw with Reese Witherspoon. She was very, very good. This movie has a smart screenplay and outstanding performance by supporting actors and actresses as well. I would have given Reese Witherspoon an Oscar myself. She was a bad-ass little bitch but I actually rooted for her. Very violent movie!

Summary: One of the all-time best
Review: Scathing, hilarious black comedy that should have a wide cult following! Reese Witherspoon is amazing as a white trash street fighter who is stalked by an educated suburban sicko, and she is supported by an excellent cast that includes a nasty Brooke Shields (who dies a gruesome death) and many others.

Summary: Really good
Review: Kinda trashy;Reese W is my fave actress but it was a good flick BAD points:she dates a black guy in the flick and then he gets killed Good points:she kills the murderer
Rating:
Summary: excellent drama with such slight humor. it's captivating.
Review: Reese really caught my heart here. Excellent posure. Keifer was great, also. So not typical of his usual character. It definately keeps you guessing and leads you on a winding journey that is rewarding in the end. Definately something to see. No disappointments.

Summary: Little Red Riding Hood for modern times
Review: "Freeway" has basically the same premise as "Little Red Riding Hood." Except, well, add some drugs, prostitution, psychopathic serial killers, rape, and dead bodies and you've got FREEWAY's premise down perfectly.Reese Witherspoon, who is wonderful in the role, is a prime example of white trash. He mother is a crack addict and a prostitute, who solicits right outside of the motel they live in. Her evil stepfather, also a drug addict, sexually abuses her. 15-year-old Vannessa Lutz has been in countless foster homes, and in almost every one the treatment was no better. All the trauma in her life has made her a very angry person....and anyone who stands in her way will pay for it. One fine day -- while the whole city seems to be worried about the brutal "I-5 Killer" in the Los Angeles area -- her mother tries to sell herself to the wrong person -- a police officer. As if that wasn't bad enough, she gets caught with drugs and paraphenalia. The same happens to the abusive stepfather, and both deadbeat parents are hauled off to jail. Vannessa escapes her Social Worker, and steals her car and starts heading up to Northern California, where she plans to live with her estranged grandmother. The fun really begins here. The old clunker of a car Vanessa stole breaks down, and a friendly psychologist, Bob Wolverton (played wonderfully by the great Keifer Sutherland) stops to help her. It appears her car is down for the count, so he offers to take her up to Stockton (where her grandmother is), because he was heading up that direction anyway. From there, Vanessa embarks on a crazy, dimented and warped adventure, that will make us laugh and cringe at the same time. This film has a certain "Natural Born Killers" taset to it, but pulls off what NBL failed to do (I don't know about you, but I despised NBL). Perhaps this movie may be considered as an "exploitation" film, but in any case, FREEWAY works in every way possible. The directing is superb, and Danny Elfman's score is highly entertaining, and one of the best (arguably) original scores I've heard in the 90s. The dialogue is also beyond belief. Amazing, and even entertaining lines in this movie. And, ahem, Keifer Sutherland has a cute little line in this movie that will have you rolling on the floor, and rewinding fifty billion times. I highly reccomend FREEWAY. Weather you're bored or not, you will LOVE this movie, which makes my top ten list.
