 awesome June 15, 2009
Keith Layton
This one of the coolest sci-fi movies you will ever see, the whole concept of this movie is so fantastic, that who knows if it was ever possible. Life might be just like it was portrayed in the movie. great acting, by a whole bunch of great actors even Mr.Rolling stone himself wasn't bad in this movie. Although the the music of the Stones is what he will be remembered by not his acting. You won't be dissappointed even if you buy this movie un-seen, because when you do see it you'll agree with me I am sure.
 Hollywoodie-ed ...................... September 8, 2008

It looks great, it's fast-paced, it has good actors, but it's a turkey.
What went wrong?
Firstly, one of those actors - Rene Russo - doesn't have her heart in it. And since she's the love interest, that kills the love story. There's been plenty of negative comment about Mick Jagger in this, but he's fine. It seems most people just can't get their heads around such a famous rock star being an actor.
The major problem is the script, which probably had merit when written, but ended up after the rewrites making very little sense. You can watch this movie and enjoy the ride, but at the end you just ask yourself, "What the hell was that?".
None of it makes much sense. Every scene has been designed as a photo opportunity to make the film's technicians look good on show reels - and they do. But the price paid is to alienate the audience from any identification or lasting enjoyment.
Ultimately,the producers Hollywoodie-ed this one.
 Sci-Fi action with great stars January 8, 2008
Thom Carey (Yonkers, NY United States)
I like this movie because it brought so many things I like to the table. The stars: Emilio Estevez, Mick Jagger, Rene Russo, Anthony Hopkins. The action: F1 racing, futuristic cars & chases, space guns & gear. The romance between Emilio & Rene. The psychedelic images at the end, etc. Definitely worth watching.
"Furlong, the brake is the one on the left" August 2, 2007
Mike (Long Island, NY)
Emilo Estevez, Anthony Hopkins, Mick Jagger, and Rene Russo lead an allstar cast in this futuristic sci-fi action thriller set in the future. Good action, some comedy and Mick Jagger fits; in this great futuristic movie.
Alex Furlong (Estevez) was an Indy race car driver who unbeknown to him has been chosen for a body swap in the future from the very rich CEO of a company played by Hopkins. Right before Furlong was to be killed in a crash during the race, he is snatched from his time period and teleported to the future. Mick Jagger is a commander of a type of police-force bounty hunter army who is charged with getting Furlong delivered to complete the body/mind switch. Something goes wrong and the action heats up. Will Mick Jagger deliver the Freejack (Furlong)?
 Not Bad, but Not Great either August 9, 2006
L Gontzes (Athens, Greece)
Freejack was a bit of a disappointment, considering the makeup of the cast: Emilio Estevez, Rene Russo, Anthony Hopkins, and Mick Jagger among others, though by no means is it a bad movie.
A race-car driver is teleported out of a deadly crash only to be transported 18 years into the future where things are just a tiny bit different...
In short, the acting is generally pretty good (though nothing great), the setting is above average, while the dialogues and the plot are below average.
The major setbacks are in relation to:
1) The weak plot and especially the weak dialogues, for which the writers are to blame.
2) Mick Jagger is pathetic in this film! Almost as bad were the actors playing the minor/supporting roles.
3) Emilio Estevez, Rene Russo, and Anthony Hopkins were given terrible lines. What a waste of an AMAZING cast!
Though the potential for a good movie was definitely there it fails to take off, primarily due to the writers.
In a nutshell, it's an ok movie and that's about it; no masterpiece here... Wait till they show it on TV.
