Customer Reviews of Freeway
New disc is NOT 16x9 enhanced, it's the same disc content as the old DVD I own the old DVD released years ago by Republic Pictures, which was not 16x9 enhanced. Thus, if you own a newer Widescreen TV it will appear stretched and distorted. <

>Seeing this new DVD released by Lions Gate, you are led to believe that it is a new 16x9 enhanced transfer, which it even states very clearly on the back cover of this new DVD edition as "16x9 WIDESCREEN". <

>When I popped in the new DVD, imagine my surprise when I saw that it was in fact not 16x9 enhanced, but it is the SAME EXACT DISC CONTENT as the old Republic Pictures DVD release, right down to the generic menu! <

>Thanks for nothing Lions Gate...
WAY ABOVE AVERAGE THRILLER! HAS A SENSE OF HUMOR AND A BRAIN!
This is a quirky story with an excellent cast. There are a few surprises along the way throught this very different and interesting take on "Little Red Riding Hood". Off the wall and funny at times,this is one crazy little thriller!
A Twisted Path To Grandma's House
Anybody expecting the nice Reese Witherspoon of "Legally Blonde" and "Walk the Line" be forwarned. This film is definitely not for those with squeamish sensibilities and I'm not talking about the violence. "Freeway" is at once raunchy, rude, and over-the-top. The Red Riding Hood analogy is no surprise because there are fairy tale images flashed over the opening credits. The kicker here is what kind of skewed road Red is going to take to Grandma's house. The makers of "Freeway" careen all over the place and take many interesting directions to their intended destination. Reese Witherspoon should have been a star earlier than she was based on her work here. Despite her relative youth she is totally intuitive of what is expected of her here and she runs with it. Her performance is high octane in-your-face that just demands that you pay her mind. Or else. Kiefer Sutherland matches her in his wolf in sheeps clothing role. His evil nature is not telegraphed early and emerges at just the right moment to give the picture a jolt. For those adventurous souls who aren't easily offended "Freeway" is for you. My only objection is it's a little hard to take dark comedy that centers on abused children. The makers here are skating a real fine line there.
