Freerunner

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!

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")

I'm about 50 minutes into the movie and I can't get passed their voicing. I mean seriously, it's like they're all reading from the same script as they're going. It's pretty bad. And don't get me started on the girlfriend; she can't even speak proper English. The main character, Sean Faris, I've seen him in multiple other movies and he's done a good job, not so much great, but good job at the roles he's played. Never Back Down, awesome movie IMO, Forever Strong, same deal. But this, OMG, this is movie is completely unbearable.

It takes about 40 minutes for the movie to even take off and at that point, its halfway over with.

The only thing that's keeping me even remotely interested is the fact that I'm a slight fan of Sean Faris and I love Parkour.

Overall, movie is horrible. Horrible Effects, Horrible Voicing. Horrible Actors. Horrible Plot. Horrible Looking 'Hot Chick' etc.

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.

...I expected a really good entertaining movie, when I checked IMDb and saw a 7.2 rating.

The movie is for my opinion a b-movie. The characters are not well played. The stunts are boring...oh moment....were there stunts???

Then, the movie tried hard to get some attention with exploding heads. The idea of the movie isn't too bad, but it's just not believable what's going on there. The guy has 20 minutes left to live and is talking with his girlfriend in the car^^

The free runners also have endless power and running, fighting nearly without breathing.

I'll make it short: For me, one of the worst movies I've ever seen. If you are a free runner fan, go back to B13 movie...this was much better.
