Review of Freejack (1992) by Brent M — 08 Apr 2010

Wow, I remember liking this movie as a young boy. I watched it again today and found it to be pretty bad. Emilio Estevez's typically bad acting is as unbearable today as it was back then. The plot is absolutely ridiculous.

Old rich guys steal people from the past and transfer their minds to these new bodies in order to escape death. Yes, I'm serious.

With all the healthy people around(they've supposedly absorbed harmful sun casue the ozone is gone, but they all seem perfectly fine..), they dig around in the past for people to swap bodies with.. On top of that, instead of settling for anybody, Hopkin's character is dead set on just one person.. an early 90's race car driver.. All because he wants some bootay! LMAO! Oh, and how the hell do people do groceries in this future where you can't even walk out of your door?!?!

The 90's churned out alot of futuristic sci-fi movies about this millenium that are incredibly cheesy. I think Back to the Future 2 set the stage for movies like this to be made. Freejack provided me with a few laughs and didn't feel like a complete waste of time, but it I would NOT recommend it. The ending was so bad that it was hilarious!
