Freerunner

source: Freerunner

A team of Parkour practitioners is abducted by the criminal Mr. Frank (Danny Dyer) that puts remotely controlled necklaces with explosives around their necks to force them to participate in a millionaire gambling death race for their lives. The freerunner Ryan (Sean Faris) succeeds to deactivate his collar, but the evil Mr. Frank abducts his girlfriend Chelsea (Rebecca Da Costa). Now Ryan has to reach the evil mastermind to save Chelsea. "Freerunner" is an awful thing with dreadful acting, story, screenplay, direction and camera. It is amazing how a producer can invest five million-dollars is such a garbage. As highlighted in another review, this is the worst acting ever. My vote is one (awful). Title (Brazil): "Fuga Alucinante" ("Maddening Run")

I don't know like this movie blew my mind! And Sean Faris is hot, and all the action and the laughs and the stunts was awesome! my friends and I were like what the hell are we watching a movie with heads exploding and stupid jokes but we couldn't stop watching it. We were like, that sucked but why do we love this movie so much? Maybe it was the crazy accent of the love interest, who is that? How did she get in this movie? I could be in a movie, I'm way hotter than her and don't barely speak English. And the Ryan Doyle dude with his killer line "bring it d- --face." There's so many funny action piece moments in this and I didn't know what was going on half the time. I'm not making any sense, but so did this movie so I understood it. Okay, so I'm going to stop, but we were laughing and entertained and then it was over before we knew it so how many movies can I say that about these days? Freerunner kicks ass!

This is probably the biggest insult to film making and parkour ever. Not only did I spend 90 minutes looking at a total disregard for human intelligence, but ruin the art of freerunning for those who are intrigued yet intimidated by the idea. Lawrence Silverstein ("Director") has taken his trust fund and already produced a handful of "films" that is clearly not yet ready for Youtube but yet has decided to make a montage of parkour clips that forces the audience to question if the cinematographer was just a crew member with nothing better to do. From the opening credits you are forced to take precautions against epilepsy, not a single sequence in this movie was ever shot on steadycam. The biggest concern comes when I realized the ENTIRE film plot was based on the 2000 Japanese film "Battle Royale", right down to the detail of explosive collars. Though, and I'm saying this ironically, the Japanese version had less relentless nudity than this piece of garbage. Never have I watch a film with such disgust and disdain that it causes me to rethink about being in the film business altogether, but if you love movies and are looking for something that will get your blood boiling, watch this movie, otherwise, please do whatever it takes to sue this movie for EVERYTHING infringement.

I was annoyed and bored at the beginning...the opening sequence was long and boring...then the first race happens and I almost fell asleep if it wasn't for the atrocious cinematography I would have...the shaking of the camera was the only thing that kept me awake but it also had the chance of being nauseating so I had to turn away a couple times due to it just hurting my eyes and being god awful camera work. In the middle of the race I hear something that sounds like god awful acting...I was actually expecting a documentary movie rather than an action-less movie. Once the terrible fight sequences started I went "ahh it's just a sh*t movie"...I watched to the end of the first race and I couldn't watch anymore after seeing all of the bad acting, writing and cliché garbage dialog. So I stopped watching I think about 10-15 minutes in...this movie makes vomit appealing!

This movie makes me want to grab a camera and go out and make a freerunning movie like tomorrow because that's exactly what these guys did. It has a feeling that a bunch of freerunners got together and shot a movie and just made it up as goes along, and they get Sean Faris and Danny Dyer who were in town doing a real movie to show up every other scene. This were like this is our new number #1 so bad it's good movie. So basically you have half ass freerunners being blown up in half ass special effects with some nudity stupid humor throughout and a lead actress nobody can understand and who cant act her way out of paper bag. They should have made a joke about her accent while she tried to fight her way out of a giant paper bag, that would have been awesome! So why eight stars? Because I want this could be cult classic like that crappy movie The Room that's been playing in L.A. at midnight for the last decade because it's so bad it's good. I'd love to see this in the theater, people making crap of it, freerunning around, throwing tomatoes at the screen. That's how Freerunner should be watched! It'd be awesome!

what a ridiculous screenplay, storyline, scenario and plot! since when the British guys became the ultimate thugs in American big cities? since when the free-run racing game became so low and so disgusting to watch? if such beautiful urban jungle techniques deteriorating like what described in this pathetic film, then next time, knives, guns, bombs would be appeared as the legitimate means to win such purely fun and high octane young people hobby. i, for one, would prefer those brain-dead Hollywood dimwit copycats not to follow this ridiculous movie, starting to churn out accordingly. the supporting female actor who played the girl friend of the role played by sean faris was a miscast, there's no chemistry whatsoever between them. sean faris should fire his agent and get a better one, because he actually is a very good actor with great screen charisma, personality attraction with unfathomable talents, just like tom cruise when he was younger and not became an idiotic scientology believer. sean faris is like a newly reforged tom cruise but better. i wish tom cuise could find a screenplay to include sean faris as his young brother who saves each other's deadbeat career.

Okay long story short this movie is hilarious, but I don't think most of the viewers get this kind of thing. Come to think of it I don't think the actors got it either but that just made it funnier! (but the evil Business man and the blonde hostess definitely got it, they cracked me up!) But me and my girlfriend had the best time watching this movie. Very stupid, very funny and really fun! It's like the straight to video they made in the 80's, half serious and then they give up and play for laughs. If you like your violence and action meaningless and with laughs, check it out. If you want the Bourne Identity then come back when you're not so serious.

I Thought this movie was entertaining! There is plenty of fast paced action and will appeal to most audiences. It's quite refreshing to see free-jumping coming into films once again and although it has it's limits, i think this effort was worth the time! If Danny Dyer And Tamer Hassan had swapped roles, i think it would have been a better balanced film, but every dog must have his day, mustn't he! The action was good and solid, no Oscar winning performers, but does there have to be in a film like this? The plot was OK and i didn't see the little twist coming, so that was a thumbs up! This films warms up as it goes along, so my advice is to give it a chance and see if it surprises you in a good way, like it did me! I gave this a 6 because of the twist i didn't see coming!

Why are some reviewers so amazingly dumb or amazingly devoid of a sense of humor or amazingly jealous? This is a fun, lighthearted movie showing off terrific free running. No cgi, no wires just very talented athletes demonstrating their incredible prowess. Here is a clearly small budgeted movie that raced (no pun intended) to number 12 on the IMDb rankings. It's as if many of the reviewers are being paid by a rival free running movie to throw pathetic insults at this fun movie. Some reviewers complain about British gangsters "running" a city in America. Sorry, American gangsters don't have an absolute monopoly. Another reviewer bitterly complains that Ryan's (Sean Faris) girlfriend Chelsea (Rebecca Da Costa) says that she isn't going to sell her Volvo and then in the next scene she does sell it. Wrong. She does not sell her car. Another reviewer complains that Da Costa isn't American. It isn't good enough that she speaks English with a very understandable accent, but simply that she doesn't have an American accent. Sorry to break the news that America is now a country comprising many accents and many nationalities. The fact that Ryan dares to have a non- Caucasian girlfriend seems to upsets some members of the kkk. Let's "look" at another reviewer who complains that she is prettier than this Brazilian Beauty. I suggest that reviewer goes to the You Tube video of Rebecca Da Costa Hottest Woman in Hollywood and sees what the public think. Alternatively, let's try to give credence to another reviewer who complains that the movie is ruined because Sean Faris looks too much like Tom Cruise. Then there's the reviewer who doesn't like the opening sequence because the photographer was athletic enough to shoot in the style of the photographer from The Bourne Identity, running alongside the athletes. Of course, let's not forget a reviewer who's upset that the Freerunners are never seen out of breath. Welcome to the world of movies! If you prefer a documentary then this movie is not for you. But if you want a fun movie with action and stunts that have never before been featured on the big screen then you'll enjoy this movie.
