    This weekend, Harrison Ford is back on the hunt for replicants alongside Ryan Gosling in BLADE RUNNER 2049, so Awfully Good Movies is going to activate a cinematic program from the cyberpunk genre that BLADE RUNNER helped influence: 1992’s FREEJACK, starring Emilio Estevez, Mick Jagger, Rene Russo and Anthony Hopkins! Yes, you read that cast list right: Coach Gordon Bombay starring alongside one of the greatest singers in rock n’ roll history and an Oscar-winning master thespian in his first role after SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. But don’t let that cast list fool you though, cause out of all the sci-fi movies set in dystopian futures, this flick is one of the silliest, with Emilio playing a race car driver in 1991 who’s saved from a fiery car crash thanks to Mick Jagger transporting him through time to 2009...only so Mick can harvest Emilio’s body so that his mind can be replaced with that of a dying millionaire who is seeking immortality. But Emilio makes a run for it, and seeks the help of his former fiancée Rene Russo to escape from Mick’s gang of “bonejackers”. (Yes, I know “bonejackers” sounds more like the name of a Sega Genesis game than a futuristic gang of bounty hunters, but work with me here.) Along the way, they’ll come across Mike the Cleaner from BREAKING BAD, a crazy bum who gives inspirational speeches about eagles, and a lot of dated computer visuals from the 90s which would look more at home in a Windows 95 instructional video. Plus, Anthony Hopkins pops up every so often to blather techno-jargon in front of a green screen and dream of what he’ll do with his paycheck. And while Mick gets to be in a sci-fi movie with Anthony Hopkins and Keith gets to cameo in those PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN movies, the rest of the Rolling Stones sit around and wonder why no one’s called them for any acting gigs. Have patience, Charlie Watts; your big-screen break will come sooner or later.

    I was part of the racing beginning of the movie with my race car, Emilio had just past me before launching into the bridge and I was first car (red & white) past the burning wreckage. It was quite the experience and took about a week and a half in two installments to film the 10 minutes of racing! Emilio was a great guy to hang with!

    Always a guilty pleasure for me. OK, it is not very consistent and bearly cyberpunk but Mick does a better job than I expected. I liked how he became a quasi-good guy at the end just because he didn't like working for an asshole. The dream of every American....only makes sense that a Brit would actually get that chance.

    I remember seeing this via Laser Disc my parents rented it being curious I was excited since it had Sir Anthony Hopkins one of my favorite actors. After watching it was so so not very good not super bad just a by the numbers action film nothing really special
    But Hopkins still provides a good performance like Sir Christopher Lee another of my favorite actors he gives a good performance even if the film has a bad script.

    Pretty unique, imaginative,movie.
    Surprised it hasn’t been remade a couple times. As charismatic as Emilio is and as talented as Hopkins is, you could really replace them with other capable actors. In other words, it doesn’t take much “range” to play those roles.
    What makes this movie work is classic story devices (albeit told in a novel way), action, suspense, editing, etc.

    I disagree with some of what is said. I actually enjoyed the movie when it came out. SciFi is rarely reality. It is supposed to be far fetched. B movies are entertaining to watch. Comparing it to current special effects is not fair. Now I will say that I did not really believe that a Renee Russo type would go with an Emilio Estevez. I thought Mick Jagger did a good job with this film. Some of the cheesy lines and supposedly futuristic props and designs could definitely been better. But it could have been worse. Also in 1992 we were exposed to films such as: Mom and Dad Save The World, The Seedpeople and Memoirs of An Invisible Man. I prefer Freejack.
