I think that a story taking the "Little Red Riding Hood" plot and transforming it into a modern pop-culture noir is a great idea. "Freeway" is very well done in some areas, but sometimes it bites off more than it can chew. The sex and violence becomes a little overwhelming. HOWEVER, I became a great fan of Reese Witherspoon after seeing this movie. Her complex performance, full of brains and wit, is one of the most outrageous characters that I have ever seen. She's always funny and cute, and at the same time, trash-talking cops and fighting off killers. Witherspoon gives the role everything she's got; she is completely unafraid to do anything, thereby making her performance one of the most honest characters ever in a movie. Even if you're turned off by the violence, see it for Reese. She is one of the greatest young actresses ever to come out of Hollywood.
