Freeze Frame (2004)

I love this movie so much

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Freeze Frame (2004)An intensely visual movie about a man who tries to protect himself from police accusations by filming everything second of his existence after being acquitted for a crime he never, apparently, committed. The constant switching from omniscient filming to all kinds of video and web cam views of events makes watching it a constant game. And the lead character, indeed all the main characters, are terrific actors, so the growing thriller is actually thrilling.There is a sameness to the events after awhile, though, the plot leaning a bit much on the editing and camera-work to succeed, which might seem excellent at first but you end up craving some psychology to make a turn, or some actually new kind of plot twist to take over. It ends with a predictably sensational climax, with some surprise camera footage of the events, and even this is stretched a bit thin.Curious and visual enough for a look, though, certainly.

Well worth a look, Lee Evans can actually act as a serious actor, not just wacky & funny, I was very dubious about seeing this movie Lee Evans playing the part of murder suspect who video's his life 24/7/52 didn't really appeal to me, I thought I'd give it a look anyway after checking out the review's on the trusty IMDb.com, I made my mind up to see it. This isn't a movie I'v heard of until recently, and I'm glad I'v seen it, I give it about 6.7. The plot a Family murdered Lee Evans the suspect,released didn't do it, so he films himself round the clock even on the loo, there's other murders, but hes got the video evidence to prove he wasn't involved, or has he is he being framed for a crime he did not commit, or is he a murderer who's covering his own back, get it yourself to find the truth.

**Mini Spoiler*** The plot of this film is a little too obvious, and why do scripts have to have one of the main four characters end up as the killer? I will not let on as to who, just to keep you in suspense. **Mini Spoiler Ends***This flick has the feel of a modern day Agatha Christie novel, and could have been a stage-play with it's limited locales. But…. It has some great visuals, and I loved the broken up, jerky digital images that got thrown up in the early part of the film. The vault of Camcorder Tapes detailing an obsessive man's life was great.Lee Evans shows he is a good actor, but I do not think this was the break-through film for him. He has the potential of doing what Robin Williams cooked up in One Hour Photo - and just needs the right part…The Point-Of-View footage and multiple camcorder images did wear after awhile, and the rest of the movie was so jet-black that things got a little dull visually - even the likes of ultra-bleak Se7en had a few "colourful" moments - but this was probably the look the makers were striving for.Also, I kept thinking "why do that?" and "what a stupid thing to have done" - normally plot-holes do not bother me, but the storyline was straying a lot from it's initial edgy, hyper-realistic, noir style. Things just seemed to get more and more illogical, but with everyone still playing it fairly straight - unless I was missing something….. So…. A nice effort and lots of style for a limited budget - but a little too formulaic and over-stylised for my liking.

Firstly, I have to say Lee Evans is without doubt stunning in this film. We can only hope that he gets further meaty roles on the back of this performance.A triple murder suspect has his case thrown out of court due to police incompetence. Vowing his innocence, he becomes a paranoid who tapes himself "24/7/52" and keeps the tapes in a special vault. Just before the 10th anniversary of the murders, he is again arrested on suspicion of murder, and when he tries to produce the relevant tapes they are missing.The only downside to this superbly edited, visually stunning film is the lack of suspects as there are only half a dozen characters throughout. Other than that, it's well worth watching. Unlike most people here, I even enjoyed the ending (especially Evans last words!)
