Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

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

Freejack is one of the BEST SciFi movies of this decade. The others are as follows... Dark City-1998, The Matrix-1999, Twelve Monkeys-1995, The Fifth Element-1997, eXistenZ-1999. There are others I like however, Men In Black is not really a SciFi movie (on and on). But for any list not to include Freejack is dreadfully mistaken!!Everyone in this movie does a nice job INCLUDING Mick Jagger!! The story is the mainstay and gridiron of this movie. It doesn't need special effects (or dumb CARTOON -computer generated people like avatar). The story is a wonderful depiction of how rich people in the future will buy immortality. I highly recommend this move for anyone but especially for SciFi aficionados!!!

Race car driver Alex Furlong sensationally crashes his car, although he should be dead, but just before the impact he's transported into the future (the year 2009) by some bounty hunters. The catch is that his body was bought by some corporation boss with failing health, and his plan is to do a mind swap. However Alex escapes, as he tries to survive with the bounty on his head getting larger. He's only chance remains with his back then fiancée Julie, who was there at the horrible crash. What could have been a fascinating story (who knows, as the novel that it's adapted off might be?) turns out to be a likable, but blandly silly futuristic sci-fi chase (quite a long too) thriller. Not bland in the aspect of well placed thrills, but more so in its lack of bite with it unimaginative story-telling (with set pieces melding it together from other sci-fi prototypes) and witlessly lousy dialogues. It's a predictable smörgåsbord where a lot seems to happen/or work out by chance, but it's made easier by its committed performances and few crafty images. Director Geoff Murphy (behind such films as; "The Quiet Earth" (1985) and the 1995 sequel "Under Siege 2: Dark Territory") keeps it mechanical, but rapidly fast. The backdrop demonstrates a scrappy, bleak and sleazy future for New York and the special effects might look rather wonky now, but they are modestly carried out. Emilio Estevez at first seemed miscast, but grew comfortably in the role and Rene Russo held a strong presence. Mick Jagger doesn't look like he's even trying, but comes off enjoyably meaty (thanks to some choice dialogue). Anthony Hopkins pretty much phones in his performance. Also there are small parts by Grand L. Bush and Amanda Plummer as an unforgettably snappy nun. The forgotten offering "Freejack" could have made better use of the concept, but nonetheless remains passably entertaining.

This silliness is the sort of thing that you can sit down and enjoy without having to worry about paying close attention to what you're watching. There are some great action sequences, the stars are fun to watch, and the premise, which focuses on a New York race car driver(Emilio Estevez) who is kidnapped and brought to the year 2009 so that his body can store the mind of a terminally ill billionaire (Anthony Hopkins) is silly and done without much imagination. There really isn't any cleverness or novelty to be found here, but the movie really works as mindless entertainment and is never boring. Every member of this movie's cast fits his or her role very well (even Emilio Estevez, whom I don't typically care for), but Mick Jagger really steals the show as the bounty hunter, or "bonejacker," hired to catch Estevez after he escapes from his captors. He's never been much of an actor, and this was his first movie in twenty-one years, but he conveys an enormous amount charisma as the movie's smug villain. Another stand out cast member is Anothony Hopkins, who as usual, plays a very sophisticated bad guy and does an excellent job of it (however, it is all to clear that he was in this movie for the money alone, giving a good but very brief performance. Although the performers give it their all, they are unfortunately not provided with a script interesting enough to help make their appearances memorable. Most of the dialog is derivative and silly. One can't very well sit down to watch a movie like this and expect a good script, but it fair to hope for some memorable one liners, and this movie really didn't offer any. Another problem I had with this movie was the fact that it was set in 2009. If your going to set a movie in a desolate future, where the majority of New York City is crime infested hell-hole, make sure the future is far enough away to seem plausible. Having a world like this seventeen years after the movie was released just seems ridiculous. If you are in the mood for an undemanding, entertaining guilty pleasure, give this movie a look. The good performances, action, and special effects should be enough to keep you interested throughout the movie's hour and fifty minute running time, but probably won't make the movie stick with you for very long after you have finished watching it.
