Not for the faint hearted but should have been much bigger than it was.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 10, 2020

"Freeway" is a thoroughly nasty piece of work, the product of a filmmaker with a ludicrously misplaced confidence in his own cleverness.

| Mar 26, 2009

There's not much edification in store, and [director] Bright cruises over some bumpy plot holes, but the teen's perspective does put a black comic spotlight on wider social hypocrisies.

| Jan 26, 2006

Freeway glints here and there with dark humor amounting to a knowing wink that undercuts the cautionary tale at its heart and the seriousness of its graphic sociology.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 20, 2003

Cynical, stylish and witty.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 12, 2002

Rude in the way the truth is rude -- only funnier.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jun 18, 2002

It's too drawn-out, too talky and, at the most crucial moment, needlessly implausible, to sustain its humor and large dose of violence.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 14, 2001

Alive with the luscious turn-ons of sex and danger, Freeway is the most impressive debut film I've seen all year.

| Jan 1, 2000

A white-trash riff on Little Red Riding Hood, the oddly titled Freeway is a road movie that hits a dead end.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 1, 2000

Like it or hate it (or both), you have to admire its skill, and the over-the-top virtuosity of Reese Witherspoon and Kiefer Sutherland.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jan 1, 2000
