Freejack (1992)

This whole movie seems like it was made about 10 years earlier, as if it was trying to take advantage of Blade Runner and Terminator‘s popularity. A dystopian future where the super rich steal bodies from the past in order to achieve immortality is certainly a story that could be compelling even in modern times, particularly with the caveat that the ordinary people’s bodies are too derelict to be useful for the task. But that dystopian future wasn’t going to be happening in 2009 even from a 1992 perspective. Emilio Estevez performs capably as the freejacked body, but most of the cast is underutilized. Rene Russo plays her generic love-interest role. Anthony Hopkins makes occasional appearances, but doesn’t bring any spark. The only real spark to the whole production is Mick Jagger looking cooler than I ever thought he was capable of.
