Freerunner

This must be the worst movie I've ever seen - it's simply just an awful piece of crap!

Maybe if you're 12 and think Freerunning is the coolest thing ever and don't care about painfully bad acting and script and direction and special effects and....

You'll live a happier life without this insult of a movie - TRUST ME!

I gave it a single star to even things out a bit (wish I could give a negative rating)- since the participants in this horror obviously voted way way over the top at a current rating at over 8?!!!

This is a 3 star movie at best!

AVOID AVOID AVOID!

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")

This was an OK action movies, it wasn't all bad. I would give this about a 7, because the first 30 or 40 minutes were too slow and hard to get through without yawning. A lot of people seem to like Sean Faris, but he is just average to me. One thing that annoyed me is the accent of the love interest, talk about making your ears hurt. If it wasn't for the stunts and my brother wanting to watch this movie, I probably would have not finished the movie, but I did. Mr. Faris illegal antics to bet and win (on himself) to get him and his family out of town backfired and the action begins. The actors could have delivered their lines better, it just seem too forced and not the right emotions. The chase and racing does keep you entertained otherwise the movie would put you to sleep.Overall the movie is fun and the action scenes don't hurt either. The plot could have been better but hey this is what you get.

So I am going to regret saying this. But even Uwe Boll is making better movies. Blasphemy! I know. I did say I was going to regret saying that. When watching the movie I was not really expecting much.But this being about free running I was expecting some decent stunts. If there was some free running involved I barely could make out what was happening because one of the gimmicks was the use of a shaky cam. Whose brilliant idea was that. People not knowing anything about free running must get the wrong impression about this extreme sports. As not single shot shows what free running really is. To top it of they mix in a Battle Royale game and Danny Dyer overacting like he never did before. Seriously I did give this movie a chance. But everything about it is just plain horrible.Avoid!

If you're considering for even one second, watching this movie, don't. Watch the trailer, (because it's pretty good and contains pretty much every half-decent bit of parkour the movie contains), and then save yourself the vomit and don't watch the actual movie. As a traceur, (freerunner, if you must), I was told to watch this film because it was such a travesty. I was informed correctly. The way it showcases freerunning is disgusting, we are not violent thugs. That aside, it was possibly the worst movie I have ever seen, the acting, voice-overs and plot were all worse than that of those $10-budget horror flicks, that are on at 1am and are only shown at all because they have nudity in them. I'm not overly surprised that Ryan Doyle, (Finch), was eager to put his face on this, but most real freerunners would hate this film and its message as much as everyone else obviously does. you know those movies that are so bad that they are hilarious, this one is not even funny for that reason, it actually makes one want to be sick. Freerun away from this movie, you cannot get your valuable time back!
