Rating:  - "You sound a bit jealous, if you don't me saying so"
Despite the macabre/insane premise of this film, I have to say that I found it hilarious in parts. The satirical part of it will escape many and understandably so; the performance by Lee Evans gives the impression of a person who is no longer human at all but a hunted, wounded animal careening around and looking for an exoneration that won't matter in the end, and does it agonizingly well.
To enjoy this you have to throw out all realism: how the hell would Veil even be able to afford ... Read More
Rating: - Theory of Paranoia: Stylish Camera and Overcooked Story about Murder Mystery
This UK-Ireland film (shot in Ireland) has one of the most stunning visuals and ingenious camerawork I ever seen recently, but the film's convoluted story is so far-fetched and even preposterous, that I started to care less and less about the `truths' behind the mystery, and wanted to know more about the strange lifestyle of the wrongly (?) accused hero played by Lee Evans. Yes, it is Lee Evans, best known as stand-up comic.
Lee Evans is cast against type and does a serious role, and provides ... Read More
Rating: - great performance by Evans
Sean Veil is the ultimate paranoiac, a man so convinced that everyone is out to get him that he's even begun spying on HIMSELF. However, there is actually a method to his madness, for unlike many paranoiacs, Sean has a valid reason to be fearful and suspicious of those around him. About ten years prior to the time of the story, Sean was falsely arrested for the brutal slaying of a woman and her two young daughters - a crime for which he was eventually acquitted, although the experience has left him emotionally ...

Rating: - Freeze Frame delivers...until the end
This is the second surprisingly good new Irish indie film I've seen lately (the first being the zombie flick Dead Meat). Comedic actor Lee Evans is practically unrecognizable in the lead role and really carries this film. The story is Kafka-esque (imagine the paranoia of being wrongly accused of a grisly murder), the filming is nightmarish, and the suspense is maintained until the ending which becomes convoluted, unsatisfying, and...kinda ridiculous. It's a shame, since so much worked so well early on with trying ... Read More
Rating: - solid premise, should've been better...
I'm not a fan of remakes, because most of the time Hollywood tries to rehash great material that can't really be improved upon much, if at all. However, I'm not totally anti-remake as certain films are great ideas, and they have their heart in the right place, but they still fall short. Freeze Frame is such a film.
The protagonist, Sean Vail, has become a paranoid recluse obsessed with maintaining a video record of his every moment in life after beating a murder rap 10 years prior. The detective and profiler ... Read More
