Details

As the heir and current marketing director for one of the nation's biggest gun manufacturers, Liberty Wallace is indifferent to the atrocities made possible through her business and her CEO husband, Victor. On her way to see her actor lover, Liberty ends up chained to a food cart full of explosives -- all at the insistence of "Joe", a sniper whose young daughter was a victim of gun violence, and who now has Liberty in his sights.

Alicia I love this movie so much
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Nadine Salakov I reviewed "Phone Booth" a while back, and only heard of "Liberty Stands Still" a few months ago, it was released at the same time as "Phone Booth" and has a similar story line.When i watched "Liberty Stands Still" for the very first time, i was glued to my sofa, this movie is so riveting that i didn't even get up the whole time and get any snacks which is what i was planning to do."Liberty Stands Still" is better than "Phone Booth" simply due to the fact that there is not as much swearing as there is in "Phone Booth", also the plot for "Liberty Stands Still" is more mature, the bad guy is not over the top and the techno film score is even better than the score from "Phone Booth"."Liberty Stands Still" does have a few disturbing pieces of dialogue, as a Christian i did not like what was said about God at the beginning, and as an animal lover the dialogue about the Deer and the Deer cub is upsetting.It is clear "Phone Booth" got more hype than this film, it is highly likely that everyone has heard of "Phone Booth" and not many have heard of "Liberty Stands Still".The performances, scenarios, directing in this film is fantastic, and it is more gritty than "Phone Booth".
dfm1967 I saw Liberty Stands Still knowing what it was about and wanted to give it a chance. Thank God it was on cable and I did not rent it. Such a waste of talent. If you want to see a film that deals with gun violence, see the last film James Coburn ever made (American Gun, 2002). That film had class,appeal, and NO SENSELESS VIOLENCE gun play like Skoagland's mistake. What's sad is that people are so close-minded anymore that they believe blatant diatribe posing as art can be taken seriously. My guess is that most posters who liked this film are young,idealistic wet-behind-the-ears types. And NO, I did not want an "action film" for all of you apologists for Liberty Stands Still. The movie S-U-C-K-E-D.
lchmielewski While this movie was mildly entertaining, there is a reason it went straight to video. Like phonebooth (but without the Colin Farrel nametag), it really lacked a strong plot. Depending on which way you saw each character, the movie could be pro or anti gun control - if you really look deep. You have a woman who runs a gun company and a psycho with a gun (obtained illegally as he has a criminal record) further gun control would not keep him from obtaining a gun.The movie, while running the same "plot line" as Phonebooth, was not a ripoff of the movie, considering both came out the same year and, in fact, the production of Liberty started before Phonebooth was even cast.
Unbowed I can't believe this garbage was even given the green light.Same Liberal nonsense that seems to be prevalent: Angry Black Man gets angry ,goes on a rampage and commits atrocities, all White people are responsible for evil,etc.I'd like to see Snipe's character go after the goons that used the handgun that killed his daughter. No, the gun just leaped into the killer's hands and society/white racism/society made him kill.This goes to show that liberals are the most racist of all, they can only picture black men as oppressed and thereby justified for any rampage or criminal acts as payback.I can't believe white people allow themselves to be run over and I'm not even white !Witness the remake of "Manchurian Candidate" where the original movie has been through the politically correct steam roller with the Red Chinese/North Korean villains replaced by white men.Too bad few reviewers have the spine to point this out.Unbowed
