Freeway is one of those movies that has the power to simultaneously amaze and disgust just about anyone who dares to view it. Like Seven, Kalifornia, and Natural Born Killers, it's a movie that could be called a product of our times, since it caters to our societal fascination with serial killers and outrageous psychopathic behavior. But make no mistake: director Matthew Bright isn't out to feed anyone's sickest impulse. This is a scathing satire in the age of Jerry Springer fistfights and "real" TV shows like Cops, in which the "I-5 Killer" (Kiefer Sutherland) meets a wayward teenager (Reese Witherspoon) on the freeway that provides his nickname. She confides in the man but soon discovers his gruesome intentions, and ... well, let's just say she effectively defends herself, only to find later that the killer (whose wife is played by Brooke Shields, no less!) has used the media to his advantage. Fine performances make this a provocative thriller, but it's definitely not for the innocent or squeamish. --Jeff Shannon

Freeway Review November 9, 2009
Sean P. Andrews (Philadelphia, PA)
Freeway is a kewl movie with an interesting plot revolving around the Little Red Riding Hood theme. I think this is the movie that really put Reese Witherspoon on the map, long before the Legally Blonde stuff. I bought this because it is a must have to any independent movie buff's library.

DVD is in great condition. First viewed movie a few years back, had to have it for my collection. Reese Witherspoon like you've never seen her before. Beautiful girl,somewhat violent, funny movie. All I could hope for.
Great movie! April 8, 2009

The Bottom Line:
Freeway does a bunch of interesting things and is enjoyable enough to watch (in a perverse sort of way), but it never really comes together as a film and falls short of its potential.
