So I am going to regret saying this. But even Uwe Boll is making better
movies. Blasphemy! I know. I did say I was going to regret saying that.
When watching the movie I was not really expecting much. But this being
about free running I was looking forward in seeing some decent stunts. If there was
some free running involved I barely could make out what was happening
because one of the gimmicks was the use of a shaky cam. Whose brilliant
idea was that? People not knowing anything about free running must get
the wrong impression about this extreme sports. As not a single shot
shows what free running really is. To top it of they mix in a Battle
Royale game and Danny Dyer overacting like he never did before.
Seriously I did give Freerunninr a chance. But everything about it is
just plain horrible. Avoid!
Here is a little list of movies with much better sequences of parkour or free running:
- Yamakasi (2001)
- Les fils du vent, sequel to Yamakasi (2004)
- Banlieue 13 (2004)
- Banlieue 13 - Ultimatum (2009)
- Casino Royale (2006)
