good back-story, and good acting

A Disappointing Continuation

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

I remember Simon Amstell saying that if a film contained Danny Dyer, it was either first rate or third rate. This film really doesn't cut it as third rate. It truly is terrible.I've watched a lot of films, and I tend to like a lot of cheap low budget horror films, so it's really going some to say that I think this is the worst acting I've ever seen. Maybe something like 'razor blade smile' coming in second. They were clearly going for parkour crossed with the running man, but failed on every count that matters as a movie (also, surely a better title would have been "The free-running man"?) The opening just looks like a computer game, but manages to handle it even worse than "house of the dead." Somehow it goes downhill from there.

I can't believe the reviews here. Some of them have obviously never seen a truly bad film in their lives (based on their reviews giving this a 1), and others don't seem capable of recognizing a bad film (based on their reviews giving this a 9 or 10).Random thoughts: * Sean is nice to look at -- sort of Tom Cruise, without the baggage (yet). You could do a lot worse for 90 minutes.* Not knowing what the film is about makes the twist halfway through kind of interesting. (But it would have been good enough without the twist).* The wrist devices are ridiculous. Either they transmit speech, or they don't. But in this film, they transmit speech AND they don't. Depending on what the plot needs.* Too much hand-held camera. Most of the action is supposed to be recorded by cameras affixed to the sides of buildings. Not shaky. And I really don't want hand-held cam in the bedroom.* In summary, I'd place it among some of the more ridiculous Bond films. The entertainment level stays high throughout, even when you know the filmmakers have simply given up trying to make sense.

Freerunner is definitely a film not for everyone and not everyone will enjoy it. The film isn't perfect but what it's set out to be, it is pretty good and does a good job at capturing freerunning. Im not much a fan of the act but I understood what it was prior to watching this film. This film is pretty violent also which I think adds to its creativity. Without it, it wouldn't be the same and I applaud the directors for going all out. Though they could have cut down on the cursing. The film gets good around less than midpoint. About the time when Danny Dyer's character is introduced as the villain (part when the freerunners get locked in a mysterious place underground then get gas poisoned). From here is when the fun begins and the plot kicks in- they all get ticking bomb collars attached to their necks waiting to explode. Sean Farris also does a good job as the lead but it's a little disappointing seeing him in less than superior films. His career doesn't look too good right now to be honest.To enjoy the film just don't really think much about its flaws, look at the stunts they do and their intense action sequences (includes exploding heads!). Also don't take it too seriously as this film has some funny moments and lines, many of them are from Danny Dyer and the rich millionaire men who are invested in the freerunning game. Currently the film has an IMDb rating of 3.4 with 2,382+ votes (from reading other reviews from Oct 2011, users stated this film had a rating of 7+). Kind of shocking how the rating faltered that much. It should definitely be above 5. Id give it a 7 just for a certain scenes and it isn't as bad as the users made it out to be. But then again, it isn't for everyone.Though like these films, the ending is pretty predictable. Just by reading the plot description you can basically tell who comes out alive. Though, there are some unexpected deaths and such. All in all, watch this film with a free mind. It really isn't all that bad.If you want to: http://www.videoweed.es/file/3c5bf5b9b7720

This movie is amazing I loved almost every bit. Ryan Doyle plays Finch who is without a doubt the best free runner in the movie. I watched this movie many times and could not get enough of it the sound track was amazing including the Lions Rampant and Panther 1 as the amazing first two intro songs. This movie will make you want to fly no CGI everything you see was done there using the amazing french art of free running (also known as "Parkour" there is nothing like this movie the only free run comedy there is a action movie called district b13 that features the inventor of free running David Belle this movie is everything you want: action, drama, comedy, with a little bit of romance in between it all.
