Aaron1375 I enjoyed this movie, it was not the best film about a person fleeing for his life, but it had a nice twist to it as a dude who apparently died some eighteen years prior wakes up and is about to get to be a dying rich guy's new body. Well the best laid plans get squashed as the the apparently dead guy is on the run and Mick Jagger is on his tail. Yes, you heard that correctly Mick Jagger and he is surprisingly good as the guy doing the lead chasing. The action is about what you would expect. This movie and the Keanu Reeves movie "Johnny Mneunic" or however you spell it are very similar to me though I have to give the edge to the Reeves one cause it had the more anime look, however this one looks more polished than that one did. The action is pretty good and it has a nice conclusion to it as well. The acting is solid as Emilio Estevez is good as the protagonist and there are a couple of nice scenes with Anthony Hopkins, but then again anything he is in and any scene he is in is usually a good scene. Not much else to say about this one, it is a nice ride though.

classicsoncall Usually these types of time travel stories wind up giving me a headache, but this one was pretty straightforward (no pun intended). The protagonist, Alex Furlong (Emilio Estevez) is transported into the future..., and stays there. No attempt to get back to his former 'present time'; no fooling around with time lines that might affect the history of mankind. What made the picture interesting watching it today was that Alex was 'sent' eighteen years into the future from 1991 to - 2009! That was sort of cool - but in the movie's 2009, the country was already in the tenth year of a major depression instead of the first, like many today would have us believe. And it brought a chuckle to imagine if the ten million dollar bounty on Freejack Alex might have been offered by a company using bailout funds. Just thinking outside the movie box.I got a kick out of that scene in the bar when Alex is threatened by the marmaduke looking moron with his weapon, and Alex puts his on the counter with that sly Billy the Kid grin he used in "Young Guns".The attraction back in the day of course was Mick Jagger headlining a theatrical release. His performance wasn't all that bad, even if over the top a few times, which the director might have actually called for. I liked that 'One Mississippi' bit, and the idea that he had a sense of fair play in balancing his job with consideration for Furlong's catching him a break in the alley.The best concept though was the 'spiritual switchboard' - don't you think we could all use one of those?

lastliberal 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.

edwin_de_groen This is not a very good movie...but not a very bad one either.It's like Highlander: bad acting in a bad plot...but in a sloppy, ill decorated sci-fi way still quite amusing. Add a few interesting 'not often seen' ingredients like Mick Jagger and a hell raising nun...and it gets even more amusing...and with glamor icon David Johansen with his sandpaper voice the whole lot gets even digestible.If you enjoy seeing a semi-bad film more than once, if it, in spite of the sum of bad ingredients, still keeps you interested and has your sympathy...well...than it must be a CULT movie.And it is...
