Freerunner

When I saw that Danny Dyer played a main character in this movie, I was worried that it was going to be just another of his mediocre flicks, but I was actually quite surprised. I was surprised at the fact that this was his most underwhelming role to date!

Danny Dyer has played acceptable roles as the underling to hard men in some of his previous movies, but it seems that in a few of his recent movies, he's been elevated to 'boss-man' status, and his acting inabilities are now shining through.

When I read the plot, I thought the movie had a little potential, but terminal disappointment set in after 15 minutes, and all I could do was wait impatiently for the monotonously predictable ending.

I have nothing against Danny Dyer per se, but giving him a lead role in any movie is a recipe for serious face palming.

I'm feeling generous, so I'll give it 3/10

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")

Okay long story short this movie is hilarious, but I don't think most of the viewers get this kind of thing. Come to think of it I don't think the actors got it either but that just made it funnier! (but the evil Business man and the blonde hostess definitely got it, they cracked me up!) But me and my girlfriend had the best time watching this movie. Very stupid, very funny and really fun! It's like the straight to video they made in the 80's, half serious and then they give up and play for laughs. If you like your violence and action meaningless and with laughs, check it out. If you want the Bourne Identity then come back when you're not so serious.

This movie is piece of s**it that I quit watching at last quarter. After I saw its IMDb rating above 7 I hoped from the first crappy minute that it will change to better. But it went from bad to worse each new second. I hate myself for being stubborn and wasting even the shortest part of my life to this film. Avoid it or you'll regret as I did.

Long story short. Don't trust to IMDb ratings until there is much more than 15 votes.

Avoid this in long circle. This is not 7-8 stars movie as some suc**rs voted. It's a piece of crap.

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!
