Freerunner

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!

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.

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.
