so far so good, 10 minutes in
It may well be that this movie deserves the low praise it got from the IMDb voters, but then how many newer sci-fi movies getting higher scores have really done better? This 1992 flick has been sitting on my DVD shelf for some time now and I’ve decided to re-watch it after seeing the new sci-fi blockbuster “The Island” (I’ve seen some parallels between the two that brought “Freejack” back to my mind). Special effects notwithstanding, I still believe that the older movie comes out a winner. There is just that much of a better story telling, coherence, actor play and a general ambiance that makes “Freejack” a movie one would want to watch over and over again. The movie is WELL-DONE. It’s driven by a simple plot yet its imagery is clear and consistent and the characters have enough development for the audience to care for. A definite must for any sci-fi movie collection.
