Freeway

	A movie review by Alyssa Jacobs Copyright © 1999 Alyssa Jacobs

There is only one word that describes this film: Dreadful. I don't see the point of making this terrible movie, it was meaningless. The story was nothing, it had no substance. It started off bad which meant it could only get better. It didn't. It chose to take the hard way out and took us on an ugly ride. The main character is totally unlikeable. I hated her from the start, she is annoying and bitchy. But I must admit Reese Witherspoon was outstanding as her and it is beyond me why she didn't get an Oscar nomination. And when Sutherland came into the scene, it just made things worse. His character was the most awful character ever, even though he was suppose to be mean. He was dreadful. The performance of Sutherland was a heartache. He just proved to me that he isn't worth watching. Only one thought remained in my mind afterwards what made Reese sink so low to do this film. I hated this film the only good thing about it was the music by the excellent Danny Elfman (who is one of the best composers in Hollywood today).
