Freejack

Has nothing worth recommending, really, but if you generally like this sort of thing, as I do, then why not give it a poke?

In the year 2009, Mick Jagger's acting made a grown man cry. You know you're in the future when doors open up, not out.

The shootout in a cafe where a poster of Einstein gets shot in the head is an early sign of what Freejack has on its mind. i.e. nothing. But even as check-your-brains-at-the-door fare, it completely fails to deliver as it's poorly developed chase narrative is lethargic and leaden, and Estevez was fatally miscast. Jagger is a complete joke--there are no good Jagger films, including Performance--and his disconnected performance and tank helmet strangely recall Best Defense, of all films.

Mick Jagger should stay far away from acting in films. This is just atrocious.

Mick Jagger should change his name to McJagger to throw people off.

Amazingly terrible film. Entertaining because of its incredible badness.

Enjoyed it though.

In the year 2009, the super-wealthy achieve immortality by hiring "bonejackers," mercenaries who utilize extensive time travel technology, to snatch people from the past just prior to their deaths, so their bodies could be used by the rich to extend their lives. Those who escape the bonejacking, are known as "freejacks," and are considered less than human under the law. The film is set in a dystopic future where most people suffer from poor physical health as a result of rampant drug use and env

Got Mick Jagger and never use Rolling Stones music :-)

Mick Jagger is the most hilarious terrible actor I've ever seen. It's the only reason to watch this thing.

This thing is just as bad as people say it is

Who among you can say, as I can, that you saw this at the cinema when it came out? I hope Sheckley was paid well.

good film

Silly but enjoyable movie. Anthony Hopkins is the only actor in the film, but what the hell

Thank God I didn't pay to see this.

Starts out good enough until you realise there is nothing behind the world, story or characters, it's just an entire movie of Emilio Estevez being chased.

Kind of enjoyable but this film is extremely adept at making you roll your eyes every few minutes

Flashy but senseless sci-fi thriller tries to ape _Repo Man_, _Total Recall_, and others but never really comes off. Jagger overdoes it in his first acting role since the '70s but Hopkins (as usual) lights up the screen for his few scenes.

Odd flick which I haven't really seen since it first came out, but remember as being pretty ordinary actually

Daft thriller where our hero is kidnapped through time into the dystopian future of 2009 and gets chased by Mick Jagger in a variety of decidedly unfuturistic-looking vehicles while trying to hook up with his girlfriend from the past (who has aged remarkably well). Tries and fails to be 90s-cool with badly delivered one-liners and some jarringly bad CGI towards the end of the film that feels really out of place. Watchable but completely forgettable.

A waste of Geoff Murphy's considerable talent, this clunky and goofy sci-fi thriller has a story as desperate and trite as its visuals. The bizarre 2001-esque 'Spiritual Switchboard' is perhaps a nod to Murphy's more dreamlike, interesting sci-fi work, The Quiet Earth, but all it does is highlight how lame this is.

Freejack loses out incredibly on believability, as does it for its insanely fast prediction for both the destruction of the earth and the relatively rapid speed of technology progression. In retrospect, maybe this movie should have taken place in 2049 instead. One wonders Murphy took a cast with Emilio Estivez, Rene Russo and Anthony Hopkins and then churned out something so cheesy.

There's a chase, then another chase, then another, then another, then another, in a trite futureworld of smoke and blue light. The story supposedly comes from a novel by Sheckley, a bona fide member of SF's Golden Age, but not so as you'd notice. Jagger, wearing a suit of creaking black leather and a pilot's helmet the size of a beach ball, returns to the dramatic arts after an absence of twenty years, in his continuing desperate quest to find new ways in middle age to make himself ridiculous.

THIS is why Mick Jagger doesn't normally act.
