A movie sponsored by the Irish Film Board featuring a very famous stand-up comedian and all around comedy man.... can this really be a top film?!
YES it can!
The story is very original, it instantly grabs your attention in the way its written with Lee Evans' character narrating. The story develops nicely and gives you an insight into the history and what the current situation is.
The directing is very stylish, it fits nicely with the script and helps get you on the edge of your seat throughout the film. At times the visuals are a little strange and unusual but it all adds to the disired affect.
The story is well crafted, its original and gripping, it's interesting and keeps you locked in from start to finish.
Lee Evans does a brilliant job in this film, he drops the funny man act entirely and plays a straight forward and very serious role. He's believable as the lead character, you get into his head and truly become a part of the film.
The film at times can look a little fake, theres some amatuerish acting from one of the females which causes the film to lose a little credibility.
Overall: Freeze Frame is a brilliant piece of cinema, its a movie which keeps you on the edge of your seat but manages to also get you thinking. Throughout the film you'll be trying to answer a number of questions, did he really do it? did he or she do it? what exactly is going on?!!
Must Watch Cinema
