 
Freejack has a cool premise, and some top-caliber actors (Anthony Hopkins, Johnathan Banks, Rene Russo, Buster Poindexter, Amanda Plummer, I could go on!), and pretty good sets and props...So why the hell does it suck so bad?!!????I bought the DVD in the $5.88 bin at WalMart, and I thought, "any movie which has Jesus Jones and Ministry on the soundtrack is pretty good anyways!" Unfortunately, the acting and the writing are absolutely horrible. ...but there are CAR CRASHES! And...and...well, they're not even all that spectacular. 1970s cop-show caliber crashes....oooh! The computer graphics! They show...well, some programmer read Neuromancer too many times, and put wayyyyy too much animated flying landscapes in the film. I bought Zen and the Art of Screenwriting at a garage sale a couple weeks ago -- see, I could be writing screenplays just as bad as Freejack, RIGHT NOW, and making money at it! Heck, I could write better things, scripts to be proud of, things I'd be happy to show my mother!GRRRRRR!Okay, it wasn't that bad. It...it....it just could have been so, so much better. And it wasn't.
regarding getting rich off of
screen plays: the trick is
casting - and very vague
trailers. --pero,  9/16/2002 13:43:16
dude, the $5.88 bin should
have been a give away as to
the quality of the flick. --skippy, 9/20/2002 00:48:02
