Freerunner (2011)
10/10
Amazing
16 October 2011
Why are some reviewers so amazingly dumb or amazingly devoid of a sense of humor or amazingly jealous? This is a fun, lighthearted movie showing off terrific free running. No cgi, no wires just very talented athletes demonstrating their incredible prowess. Here is a clearly small budgeted movie that raced (no pun intended) to number 12 on the IMDb rankings. It's as if many of the reviewers are being paid by a rival free running movie to throw pathetic insults at this fun movie. Some reviewers complain about British gangsters "running" a city in America. Sorry, American gangsters don't have an absolute monopoly. Another reviewer bitterly complains that Ryan's (Sean Faris) girlfriend Chelsea (Rebecca Da Costa) says that she isn't going to sell her Volvo and then in the next scene she does sell it. Wrong. She does not sell her car. Another reviewer complains that Da Costa isn't American. It isn't good enough that she speaks English with a very understandable accent, but simply that she doesn't have an American accent. Sorry to break the news that America is now a country comprising many accents and many nationalities. The fact that Ryan dares to have a non- Caucasian girlfriend seems to upsets some members of the kkk. Let's "look" at another reviewer who complains that she is prettier than this Brazilian Beauty. I suggest that reviewer goes to the You Tube video of Rebecca Da Costa Hottest Woman in Hollywood and sees what the public think. Alternatively, let's try to give credence to another reviewer who complains that the movie is ruined because Sean Faris looks too much like Tom Cruise. Then there's the reviewer who doesn't like the opening sequence because the photographer was athletic enough to shoot in the style of the photographer from The Bourne Identity, running alongside the athletes. Of course, let's not forget a reviewer who's upset that the Freerunners are never seen out of breath. Welcome to the world of movies! If you prefer a documentary then this movie is not for you. But if you want a fun movie with action and stunts that have never before been featured on the big screen then you'll enjoy this movie.
