Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
NCJMartin 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!
Bene Cumb Movies focusing on a certain martial arts or similar tend to be dull, full of clichés and predictable. Freerunner (2011) is no exception: running for life, remote destruction devices, individualism vs. teamwork, naive sportsmen vs. evil moneymakers etc have been used dozens of times before (and I am sure will be used in the future as well). The ending is also trivial, preceded by several speedily accumulative scenes, not providing any value to the movie.Acting is mediocre or even terrible, especially the blond announcer and those billionaires annoyingly appearing on screens.Well, the movie is for you if you are keen on parkour, inexpressive dudes and flickering cameras. For a decent free-running movie, watch Luc Besson's District 13 instead.
manjodude The characters in Freerunner are an environmentalist's delight. They zip from place to place in the city, using only their legs! Yes, no fuel, no harmful gases, no pollution. But those who have watched this move would have felt some pollution could have been risked by dumping these guys(no offense to the actors) in a car(tied to a 100 kiloton steel ball) and pushing it off a bridge :p All those prancing off walls, windows, restaurant tables & vehicles gave me a little headache after a while. Me thinks, freerunning is good to watch as a documentary, not in a movie with silly plot & characters.Sean Farris as Ryan does a neat job but he's more of a physical actor than mental, if you know what I mean. As long as he gets action roles, his life in Hollywood should go just fine :) Amanda Fuller as Dalores(Ryan's girlfriend) was duh in acting but damn! in shape ;) Some other actors like Ryan Doyle as Finch(Ryan's biggest competitor), Tamer Hassan as the free runners' greedy manager and Danny Dyer as the psychotic businessman Mr.Frank(making millions out of the lives of the free runners) are good but all their efforts were finally for nothing really.Any good deeds? Yeah, some of those cartwheeling, long jumps, high jumps...that they call freerunning. But many scenes later, you get tired and want to arrest them for public viewing nuisance charges.Verdict: The last I heard, the producers are now wanted felons for having made this movie. Free runners, get them :p
RottNKorpse I was annoyed and bored at the beginning...the opening sequence was long and boring...then the first race happens and I almost fell asleep if it wasn't for the atrocious cinematography I would have...the shaking of the camera was the only thing that kept me awake but it also had the chance of being nauseating so I had to turn away a couple times due to it just hurting my eyes and being god awful camera work.In the middle of the race I hear something that sounds like god awful acting...I was actually expecting a documentary movie rather than an action-less movie.Once the terrible fight sequences started I went "ahh it's just a sh*t movie"...I watched to the end of the first race and I couldn't watch anymore after seeing all of the bad acting, writing and cliché garbage dialog.So I stopped watching I think about 10-15 minutes in...this movie makes vomit appealing!
