Review – Freeway (1996)

I’m almost impressed by how stubbornly this picture rejects all possible opportunities to be clever or entertaining in any way. Reese Witherspoon (back when she wasn’t too big for roles like this) stars as a skanky teenager who falls into the clutches of a serial killer (Kiefer Sutherland). The tables turn back and forth several times as the plot unfolds, but the driving force is always brutish violence. The resulting tale is stupid, predictable (once you abandon any hope that it’s going to take an unpredictable twist) and dull. Wish I’d skipped it
