Freeway... has anybody seen this movie?

It was released back in 1996 starring up and comer Reese Witherspoon and vet actor, Keifer Sutherland. It's basically a 90's/L.A. update on Little Red Ridinghood. Although it may sound cliche, it was surprising a very good movie with some dark social commentary/humor. So... has anyone seen this?

Great. I might buy it tonight. The Blockbuster near me has it for $10. I was about to get it last night but I got Altered States instead. Now that is one weird movie. Though I didn't like the end and towards the end the movie got rediculous. Oh well....still not a bad movie overall. All of the images in this movie are weird as hell. I think I'll get Bound also (though it's non-anamorphic...oh well). They have a shitload of DVDs for $10. Anyway...always nice to see an older movie you missed that is good.

Later all...

Yep I saw it on Showtime or Cinemax numerous times and really liked it.

I believe there is a Freeway part 2 but it's not connected.

I never got the joke about the crippled girl who I guess was some sort of whore the officers commented on know, what I'm talking about?

Yep, I liked this film as well. Cool story, some nice acting, and lots of very dark humor

Never seen the part 2 though. Probably a simple cheap cash run on the popularity of the original

I remember the first time me and my friend saw the part at then end with neighbor walking out with his damn intestans hanging out from the stomach, its looked soo funny

There was a joke? There was something in the director's commentary about how they wanted her to seem skanky or something like that. If there was a joke, I didn't get either. =|

Are they new or used? If used, you can get those DVDs new for that price anywhere else... and for that matter, BECAUSE of the fact that you can get them anywhere else for that price, you should, because Blockbuster should not be supported

They're new. Over the past few weeks I got Rollerball (the original...shitloads better than that garbage remake), Jacobs Ladder (love the movie...love the dvd even more...still don't like the ending), and Altered States. But they have Best Buy like prices which I find weird but I'm not complaining. Oddly enough their used dvd prices are shit. No way in hell I'd buy a used dvd (aka coaster) from blockbuster. Though I know your stance on Blockbuster tobal.
