Freejack (1992)

[Annette]

This film starred Mick Jagger.

All I remember of this film is it being a load of old codswallop. There seemed to be no storyline at all. I came out of the cinema feeling holy disappointed with a film I believed to be pretty good.

I was going to say this wasn't very good, but a load of old codswallop is going a bit far!

I know that Mick Jagger isn't the worlds best actor, but he has a small role. It also has:

Emilio Estevez - not usually good, but okay in this.
Antony Hopkins - a SIR now, no less.
Rene Russo - not well known then, after this she had a lot of sucess.
Jonathan Banks

It has a great concept for a story -

Just as Auto racer Alex Furlong is about to die in a fatal accident, he is snatched away by time travel, a split second before a fatal explosion. Vasendak's 21st-century team of techies, plan to sell his healthy body to an ailing rich man at McCandless Corporation, for a mind transfer. He escapes, but has no rights in this nightmare future of violence and sleaze.

That's the good bit.....The story continues with his survival, and his attempt to revive his relationship with his fiancée Julie, now 15 years older and an executive at McCandless.

It gets very boring, and I've only seen it late at night on TV, when it sends me to sleep.

Boring? I can think of reasons why many people might of hated it but boring? It had loads of action scenes and it kicks Pitch black's @$$! (which IS "a load of old codswallop"...)

OK I take it back. Film didn't do much for me. Everyones entitled to their opinions, right?

Some of us require MORE than car chases and "loads of action scenes" in our films.
