Freejack (1992)

I wanted to but couldn't!

Boring

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

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

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.

This is a great film for film's sake and the fact that it is a good take your-girl-to-the-movies film but falls short of being as epic or as special as something like Bladerunner, which is still played in the theaters today, alas, therefore you'll be watching this with your girl at home and not in the theaters.The movie generally keeps you stimulated from the beginning through the rest of the film and you get interesting glimpses at what 2009 is perceived to be like. I wonder if the makers of Freejack knew that 2009 isn't as crazy as they thought it would be.Still the concepts in this movie are fresh and sci-fi, down to traveling back in time, replacing your about-to-be-killed corpse with a clone with the intention of kicking your supposed-to-be-dead soul out of your body and replacing it with a high paying client's well-to-do spirit, among other things! I give this movie a 7 because I would normally give a movie like this a 5 or 6 but they get an extra point for the increase in entertainment value by virtue of the neat sci-fi.Warning: Mick Jagger is in this movie. :p

I am not looking for Oscar quality here, just entertainment. I'll give any movie a try that has Rene Russo and Sir Anthony Hopkins.The premise sounds something like a sci-fi variation of Here Comes Mr. Jordan, known to modern movie goers as Heaven can Wait. i love both movies, so this has peaked my interest.Mick Jagger is not an actor, but he gave a reasonably good impression of one here. Jonathan Banks is an actor, one that I come across frequently on TV, and he doesn't disappoint. Neither does Frankie Faison, another actor who I have seen frequently. And, there is a nunsploitation angle as Amanda Plummer plays a hard cussing, shotgun toting nun, who helps Alex (Emilio Estevez).The first vision we have is a dystopian America where bullets fly on the street, but, right next to this, in Sector 9, things are very Republican. This is where Alex catches up with Julie (Russo), who doesn't believe it is him.This is a fantastic and explosive action movie with everything one could want. Well, I would have liked to see Russo as she appeared in The Thomas Crown Affair, but you can't have everything.
