Emilio Estevez, Mick Jagger, Anthony Hopkins and Rene Russo star, keeping pace with the scenic, supersonic excitement. Prior to a crash, race car driver Alex Furlong (Estevez) is snatched from his cockpit and hurled into the futureworld of 2009. He's dead. And running for his life. He's a "freejack," a stranger in the strangest of lands. And a relentless "bonejacker" (Jagger) can collect millions bringing him in.

My Thoughts:

Watching this one I am not sure if I seen it before or not. Some parts of it looked very familiar to me.... where others did not. I heard this film has a reputation of being bad. I just don't see how. I thought it had a good story... some great action... and a lot of big names. Felt like it was done well to me. Even if it was a little on the predictable side. I think it is definitely worth the time put in to watch it.

My Thoughts:

First off let me say that Westerns is not a favorite genre of mine. But I can enjoy them when I am in the right mood. This one is a very slow paced film and utilizes narration a lot. Two things I normally hate for films. But in this case I felt both worked very well. Actually I felt both was needed to do this film right. At almost 3hrs... this is a very long film... but still felt it was well worth the time put in to watch it. I definitely feel comfortable recommending this one.
