ANOTHER MORAL HOLIDAY from the small island desperate to reinvent itself and it's Film IndustryWack wack WACK! British gangsta movie. It's pathetic not just because of the 'plot', the 'action' (neanderthal grunts of men 'fighting'), or the ugly cast (where the hell they get these ugly, ugly people from?) but the racial politics are disgusting… like really disgusting, enough to make one think this is an MI7 funded bout of psychological warfare.The hubby to be is Asian and get this, the Black guy in this psychological propaganda turkey is saved by the English noble gangstas from the evil East European thugs. This turkey of a film can only be of use for Cultural Studies and Guerellla Intellectuals to watch and dissect. It's pathetic to see how that dreary drizzle island that invented racism (as Bro Jessie Jackson said) reinvents itself and casts its 400 years of sin onto East Europeans. It's the East Europeans who abuse for the buck ( yea right, not the 400 years of that Welfar Queen's plantation history). Where where oh where were are the films about that era of enslavement, enslavement and neocolonialism? oh yea, made in the US. You want gangsta go to older films this turkey hasn't learned from made in the US, You want Trafficking films ? do the same.And yea, I was born and seasoned in South London and left for the USA, not just for the great gangsta movies they make with the great sound tracks.

Well, surely the casting was for Bill Mummy from Lost In Space, and not Billy Murray, the Brit-Grit Copper that caught more blaggers than D.I. Burnside on The Bill. From the off-set of this film you are pulled into the plot, shaking, not stirred, before realising that both Billy Murray and Craig Fairbrass have suddenly lost the plot.Though we haven't seen any of Stuart St. Paul's movies, it would maybe be a hazardous guess that he has not been Directing films for long! Because on the other side of the lense, what we see is the very amateurish acting, very bad continuity and a basically fantastic Brit-Grit movie that has just died on its a… After watching "The Last Seven", we believed that Craig Fairbrass had really got it going. Unfortunately, both Fairbrass and Murray appear to act with bad direction.The violent scenes of battles with the Russians and the Brits is pretty in tune to satisfy the Gore-Hunters, while the rest is too fast-paced and misdirecting from a storyline point of view. Ambient music going on in the background would have been welcomed during any part of this 1 hour 30+ minute movie, though the intro and rolling credits music is great.DVD Archive Rating: 6/10 [7/10 if Billy Murray became a real Ex-Military Soldier]

Freight probably rates high on the list of worst movies I've ever viewed. Are the reviewers who gave this movie the thumbs up high on LSD? Okay, so the concept is great and has potential however the poor acting, poorer casting, complete lack of depth to main characters, bad cinematography and gaping holes throughout the narrative ruin any chance of obtaining ANY potential the concept has. My wife has now banned me from deciding our next films to view choices (I'm ashamed to admit it was my idea to watch Freight, I can't even lay blame on another!). How on earth the producers managed to gain finance for this film is completely beyond me. WARNING! LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO WASTE TIME WATCHING BAD MOVIES ;)

Yes i'm french ...and Yes again i also love British Cinema. Hopefully unlike the Italian author cinema the British one is still Alive ! and brings to us from time to time a real jewel : Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch , Swallow Grave, Trainspotting, Revolver,This Is England, Four lions, all the Stanley Kubrick movies etc. Off course there's too many to mention all of them.So Far from me the will to light up an ancient rivalry or to start another 100 Years War :^)...but i am quit surprise to see that only British reviewer love that movie ( how can it be !).The only one that i agree with is a Russian cinephile. And if you ask me i can't understand how such a bad movie script, hawfully play by mediocre acting ( and directing i guess ) can be so much positively misjudge . As a Latin proverb says "love turns you blind !". Perhaps ..! Can't see another plausible explanation.Watching this movie so dull was a pain for the mind. Even the "action" sequence were boring. I better not say what i think in detail of the script ! Someone says it's a kind of British "Taken" , well to me "Taken" is at best an average action movie with a predictable story. "Freight" is a lot worse than that !. Spare your money guy , rent a video, DL a movie and choose a _real_ movie.
