I know this movie isn't supposed to be taken seriously, but Jesus, what a pile of crap. I guess the reaction of the two bumbling cops at the end is supposed to be ours, as well, but I had a giant plain face. A cynical, funny take on 'Little Red Ridin...

I guess the reaction of the two bumbling cops at the end is supposed to be ours, as well, but I had a giant plain face. A cynical, funny take on 'Little Red Riding Hood'? Yeah, okay. I didn't think it was any of those things. Just a big waste of 95 minutes.
Cheesy, corny ... but still fun in bits and pieces, it INDEED is a twisted take on Little Red Riding Hood!!!
Also gotta give credit to Witherspoon ... she steals the show, and she was just starting off 13 years ago when this flick came out!!
I don't know when I watched this, but I always thought Reese Witherspoon was hilarious in this movie as the 'little red riding hood' gone very bad.
I've never been a fan of thriller road movies, but I guess this would be the best one of those.
A dark, satiric, absolutely hilarious telling of Little Red Riding Hood. Reese Witherspoon is hysterical! Be forewarned that this movie earned it's R rating, or NC-17 if you are lucky enough to see it uncut. There's not much more to say other than it...

There's not much more to say other than it's fast paced, creative, and the music by Danny Elfman is awesome! Check it out for some great dialogue.
Weeeeeeeeeeird. Reese Witherspoon is awesome ofcourse and some of the absurdistic scenes were funny but on the whole, it doesnt quite cut it unfortunately.

Freeway is a B-movie, a noir, exploitation, and dark, hilarious comedy. It has some fantastically entertaining performances, particularly from Witherspoon, and never forgets that it is entertainment first and any kind of serious social commentary second. While Freeway is depraved and gruesome, it does have something to say about our culture and what we value.
