Freerunner (2011)

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Freerunner – TRASH IT (D) A group of freerunners race for their lives after being outfitted with explosive collars, and given 90 minutes to reach the other side of town or die trying. Ryan (Sean Faris) and his fellow parkour enthusiasts are used to taking big risks, and they make big money pushing the boundaries of physical endurance. But when Mr. Frank (Danny Dyer) enters the picture, Ryan's favorite pastime turns deadly serious. Mr. Frank and his friends are gamblers with no regard for human life, and their latest bet is which of the runners can navigate their urban jungle the fastest. With ticking time bombs strapped around their necks, the runners must find their way across the city in less than 90 minutes. The winner will receive a cool $1 million, and everyone else will get a splitting headache. When Ryan learns that his girlfriend has been kidnapped as well, he quickly realizes that he's got his work cut out for him. (RT) The only good thing about freerunner is its free running in the mist of horrible acting, yelling, production and dialogues. No need to watch it at all.

I wanted to watch this film to see if it was really as bad as everyone had reviewed. However, I could not watch it for more than 30 minutes because the camera was never still. It was as if I was watching a home video. The scenes were very shaky and extremely zoomed in- leaving out important side information. Even during scenes filmed in a hospital, there was excessive camera movement. I would compare this film to episodes of the Power Rangers from the late 90's. Sometimes the words that the actors were saying did not match up with their lips. They attempted to intensify parkour/freerunning action shots by shaking the camera.

This movie is amazing I loved almost every bit. Ryan Doyle plays Finch who is without a doubt the best free runner in the movie. I watched this movie many times and could not get enough of it the sound track was amazing including the Lions Rampant and Panther 1 as the amazing first two intro songs. This movie will make you want to fly no CGI everything you see was done there using the amazing french art of free running (also known as "Parkour" there is nothing like this movie the only free run comedy there is a action movie called district b13 that features the inventor of free running David Belle this movie is everything you want: action, drama, comedy, with a little bit of romance in between it all.

"Okay.I haven't seen the movie,but after seeing the others and reading the books, I can definitely say that this should go back to the flames of hell that it was formed in. My favorite moment is at the 17-second mark when there's an out-of-context shot of a nerd saying "SH*T YEAH!" after Sean Faris captures the other team's flag. IT'S LIKE HE'S DOING AN IMPRESSION OF ME WHEN I'M WATCHING SEAN FARIS PULL OFF BADASS PARKOUR MOVES! Then there's a two-second montage that shows 1. parkour fighting 2. sexy dancing 3. Kanye shades 4. vodka drinking. IT'S SO RELEVANT TO MY INTERESTS!! WHICH FOCUS GROUP DID YOU USE??!? This could be the hippest movie of all time. It's so cutting edge it's already played out. SAVE THEM, SEAN FARIS! SAVE THEM USING YOUR FREE RUNNING
