Freejack

In the hopes that audiences haven't been spoiled by "Terminator 2: Judgment Day," along comes Freejack, a technically inferior but broadly entertaining futuristic adventure. Though Arnold is nowhere in sight, his spirit looms large. Attempting to fill his vast void are Emilio Estevez and Mick Jagger, an unlikely but likable duo who provide the majority of the film's action...Freejack definitely gives the audience its money's worth. [3 Feb 1992]

There are two entertaining small characters in Freejack - Amanda Plummer as a gun-toting nun and Johansen as Estevez's exploitive pal. As the lead, Estevez is appealing, if bland. He takes his future shocks in stride. [18 Jan 1982, p.12]

It takes a while to get used to Mick Jagger as a paid predator, wearing a goofy helmet and spouting lines like, "Get the meat!" But by the end of Freejack, a fairly silly new sci-fi action thriller, rock star Jagger has made the role his own. [20 Jan 1982, p.C7]

There are some wonderful special effects, but, alas, the movie bogs down with shooting, car chases and plot twists that make it a bit tiresome. Still, it's some fun, especially watching Jagger, Hopkins and the supporting cast tangle with a future in which fried rats seem delicious. [21 Jan 1992, p.27]
