I don't know why Freejack gets so many dislikes on here especially on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB it's really good for what it is, a lower budget Action Sci Fi romp. To be honest I would rather watch this than similar genre films like Universal Soldier and the average to me, Robocop 2. The story has some great twists throughout, action set pieces are decent with clever editing, it keeps you constantly watching not many dragging moments, pretty above average CGI work for 1992 and Mick Jagger is really entertaining, plays his part great.
Emilio Estevez is wooden not a good lead I think him and the dialogue script for everyone is probably the weakest part of the film for me. They're are light comedy moments like in Demolition Man but they are all a bit lame though at least the script tries. The CGI is Lawnmower Man quality ,you know above average for the era but won't blow you away. The opening section with the race cars looks cheap (good pyro) though). The sets and props look cheap too but it all serves a purpose crude but functional.
I would definitely recommend giving Freejack a watch especially if you enjoyed Demolition Man and Predator 2 but don't expect Total Recall or Stargate.
