Diagonaldi Very well executed
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
mario_c It's a nice dark thriller with a mysterious and puzzling plot which combines strange ambiances and scenarios with a typical criminal investigation. The great novelty of this film is its main character which is a peculiar guy that, to prove his innocence from the accusation of a family's murder, records every second of his life on videotape. He says there's a conspiring plan against him, and to protect himself from false allegations, he tapes his life to prove his innocence. I liked the dark cinematography and the strangeness that dwells all over the film. The final twist is not so surprising as I had heard from other users but it's a nice ending anyway. I score it 7/10, mostly because of its cinematography.
CineCritic2517 First off, if someone would go out of his way to such an extend as the main character Veil in Freeze Frame to get himself a life supply of alibi, wouldn't it be a lot easier to just plant a chip somewhere in his arse? Without going into the elaborate details of such a plant; Yes! it would! (And with the famous words of Frederick Forrest in Falling Down: "Think about it!")So much for the premise...What have we got left then? Let's see. We are stuck with a flick in which truly horrible acting is a virtue leaving no exceptions. Besides the premise we get served a storyline which has been done better in any average episode of Scooby Doo and we get to see an ending which has been done better in any lesser episode of Scooby Doo. I'm not kidding nor am I exaggerating!Didn't this movie have any redeeming qualities at all? yes it did, it ended at some point.If it wasn't for the plot, one would think he was watching a children's-picture. It all fits: the deranged bad guy, the crooked detective and his nutty aid and the female reporter! Even the cardboard acting would in that case work as children wouldn't mind overplayed stereotypes. They love it!To list all the implausibility's in this movie would require me to see it again and take notes scene by scene. As u no doubt have guessed, I'm not going to.If it wasn't so painful to watch, it might have been good for a laugh or two.0/10
manutdstott Well worth a look, Lee Evans can actually act as a serious actor, not just wacky & funny, I was very dubious about seeing this movie Lee Evans playing the part of murder suspect who video's his life 24/7/52 didn't really appeal to me, I thought I'd give it a look anyway after checking out the review's on the trusty IMDb.com, I made my mind up to see it. This isn't a movie I'v heard of until recently, and I'm glad I'v seen it, I give it about 6.7. The plot a Family murdered Lee Evans the suspect,released didn't do it, so he films himself round the clock even on the loo, there's other murders, but hes got the video evidence to prove he wasn't involved, or has he is he being framed for a crime he did not commit, or is he a murderer who's covering his own back, get it yourself to find the truth.
ofjeworstlust ...but it ends with a uneasy feeling.The characters aren't sympathetic and everyone seems to have a kind of neural disorder. But hey, what would you expect from a dark thriller like this. Especially dark because of the lighting and colors used during daylight.The scenario attracted me to this film, and the first half definitely was worth the time. Somehow the dialogs are too long and too "deep" to keep the thriller feeling alive. A few small twists at the end, and you've got a perfect mix between memento, twisted and the fugitive.As the movie started, I was alerted by lines that made clear it was an Irish movie, and a lot of quite unknown actors passed by (notice the one with the double under chin...) It wasn't bad, but just don't have too much expectations!
