Freeze Frame (2004) User Reviews

Great performance by Evans

[Buddy-51 · 7/10 · 10 November 2005]

Sean Veil is the ultimate paranoiac, a man so convinced that everyone is out to get him that he's even begun spying on HIMSELF. However, there is actually a method to his madness, for unlike many paranoiacs, Sean has a valid reason to be fearful and suspicious of those around him. About ten years prior to the time of the story, Sean was falsely arrested for the brutal slaying of a woman and her two young daughters - a crime for which he was eventually acquitted, although the experience has left him emotionally devastated and psychologically damaged. His reputation ruined, Sean has since devised an elaborate system whereby he can videotape himself 24/7, so that he will always have an alibi if someone ever attempts to accuse him again of a crime he didn't commit. Unfortunately, Sean soon discovers that even the latest in modern technology can't guarantee his safety if the forces out to get him can figure out how to beat him at his own game.

This quirky and original Irish film suffers a bit from the constraints of its budget and the amateurishness of some of the performances. Director John Simpson's split screen technique, though intriguing at first, becomes a bit trying after awhile, and the storyline is not always as cleanly and clearly developed as it might be, although the drab, colorless look of the film perfectly reflects the drab, colorless life of its protagonist.

The movie overrides most of its flaws thanks to one element that is the real thing: Lee Evans' searing and uncompromising portrayal of an innocent man driven to the brink of madness by his obsessive need to prove that innocence. With his nervous, soft-spoken demeanor and constant look of terrified submission, Evans makes what could have been a creepy, repulsive character into a thoroughly sympathetic figure. We find ourselves so drawn to his predicament and so involved in his fate that, even at those moments when the movie itself falls flat, we stick with it anyway.

Nice dark thriller.

[mario_c · 7/10 · 27 April 2008]

It's a nice dark thriller with a mysterious and puzzling plot which combines strange ambiances and scenarios with a typical criminal investigation. The great novelty of this film is its main character which is a peculiar guy that, to prove his innocence from the accusation of a family's murder, records every second of his life on videotape. He says there's a conspiring plan against him, and to protect himself from false allegations, he tapes his life to prove his innocence. I liked the dark cinematography and the strangeness that dwells all over the film. The final twist is not so surprising as I had heard from other users but it's a nice ending anyway. I score it 7/10, mostly because of its cinematography.

Some terrific edgy ideas stretched thin, with nice video layering

[secondtake · 6/10 · 18 January 2011]

Freeze Frame (2004)

An intensely visual movie about a man who tries to protect himself from police accusations by filming everything second of his existence after being acquitted for a crime he never, apparently, committed. The constant switching from omniscient filming to all kinds of video and web cam views of events makes watching it a constant game. And the lead character, indeed all the main characters, are terrific actors, so the growing thriller is actually thrilling.

There is a sameness to the events after awhile, though, the plot leaning a bit much on the editing and camera-work to succeed, which might seem excellent at first but you end up craving some psychology to make a turn, or some actually new kind of plot twist to take over. It ends with a predictably sensational climax, with some surprise camera footage of the events, and even this is stretched a bit thin.

Curious and visual enough for a look, though, certainly.

See Evans in a totally different light

[atradeauctions · 13 August 2004]

This film, although not to everybody's liking, shows the world exactly how talented Lee Evans actually is. We all know his comedy skills aren't lacking (think Parole Officer) but this picture really does show off his acting abilities.

I found it a little slow to start, but it keeps you guessing all the way, whether this is intentional or not it certainly keeps you glued to the screen!

My advice is go grab it! Probably not one to watch again and again but certainly an enjoyable movie, Evans really does shine and makes this movie. Watch out for the crazy plot twist at the end, beats sixth sense's twists any day!

One of the few movies that would have been better by being more "artsy fartsy"

[MBunge · 6/10 · 19 September 2010]

I usually prefer the entertaining to the artistic in movies, but Freeze Frame is the first film that I think would have been better if it had been less commercial and more idiosyncratic.

Almost 10 years ago, Sean Veil (Lee Evans) was accused of a horrible triple murder he didn't commit. The case against him was thrown out of court because of the media grandstanding by lead detective Louis Emoric (Sean McGinley) and forensic psychologist Saul Seger (Ian McNeice). Since that day, Sean has been consumed by paranoia, fearful of the authorities framing him for another murder. His response to his fear is as obvious as it is disturbing. For nearly a decade, Sean has been videotaping every single second of his life. He has multiple cameras stationed throughout his dungeon-like home. When he goes outside, he straps a camera to his chest. Sean has created a visual record of every step, every meal, every night's sleep, every bowel movement, everything in his life for 9 years, 11 months and 28 days and stores all of those videotapes in a vault to provide him with the perfect alibi if he's ever wrongly accused again.

Sean might have gone on with his fearful and compulsive existence forever, but then a TV crime reporter named Katie Carter (Rachel Stirling) tells Sean she thinks he's innocent. That's what Sean has wanted more than anything in the world but he barely has time to enjoy it when the police burst in and accuse him of killing a woman 5 years ago. When Sean goes to get the tapes proving his innocence…they're gone. In a panic, Sean flees from the cops and tries to come up with another way to deflect this unjust charge but in doing so, he sets in motion a chain of events that not only reveal who's framing him now, but who framed him for the massacre of the Jasper family 10 years ago.

This is a nice little film that's quite visually interesting. Some of it is shot like a normal film and some of it is footage from the many cameras Sean uses to record his life. It's a very good effort at utilizing the emotional and personal realism of the "handheld video" genre while freeing the story from the limitations of that style.

Lee Evans does a fine job portraying a man whose obsession for control and protection has warped his personality. Sean McGinley gives the right air of desperation to a cop who is fighting off his own death long enough to catch Sean Veil and make him pay for something. Ian McNiece is also perfectly self-righteous as the psychologist who catapulted himself to fame on the Jasper murder case. Rachel Stirling's character is more of a plot device than a real person, but she handles well everything the plot needs Katie Carter to do.

Freeze Frame, however, doesn't do enough with its own concept. The idea of a man so paranoid that he voluntarily lives under perpetual video surveillance of his own design suggests an awful lot of emotional and logistical ground to cover, but almost all of those details or possibilities are shoved aside because the film is more about being a clever mystery caper. The story only touches on Sean Veil's elaborate construction of his observation system in the most basic and shallow way. We also never get a sense of what kind of man Sean was before his initial arrest and the following years of obsessive personal vigilance, so there's nothing to compare to his present paranoid state. It limits the ability to sympathize with Sean because you don't really know how screwed up he is compared to his original self. I think the story would have been more effective if it had chucked most of the mystery and instead concentrated more on the way Sean lives his life and how it's changed him as a person.

There are also a couple of significant twists in the story that don't add up. There's one element that couldn't exist in the American media and justice system, but this is an Irish film and I'm not sure if Irish laws on crime reporting are different enough to make the twist plausible. The climax is also too pat and neat and requires a character's behavior and mental state to flip 180 degrees for absolutely no reason.

You won't be disappointed if you watch Freeze Frame, but you may feel like you've just seen a good idea that went largely unexplored.

Slightly overreaches, but thoroughly ambitious effort on clearly no budget

[cancerparty · 7/10 · 30 April 2008]

Lee Evans (best known as stand up, rubbery-faced comedian in the UK) pulls off an astounding performance, and not just for leaving behind the relative comfort zone of comedy. Any 'serious' actor would be similarly lauded, I think. I won't rehash the plot - there are more than enough summaries on here - but what I will say, without spoiling anything, is that the film drives on its plot twists. It's just that at a certain point about 3/4 in, there is almost a twist too many, and the characters appear to be taking longer to work out what the hell is going on, who did what to whom, and why, and then they realise that they were really lying about one thing, and not the other, which drags the film down, with some rather tedious explanations - that still remain thoroughly necessary - which grate after a while. The sense one is left with is that the filmmakers are almost learning the plot along with US, and there isn't a sense of control in the narrative. I mean, obviously they knew what happened, but the tone was of constant uncertainty about how to end it, and who to make the bad guy. So instead of making choices, they choose instead to make EVERYONE the bad guy at one time or another until they hit upon a convenient enough resolution that will satisfy the most amount of people. It is, however, beautifully lit (a scene with Evans leaving his house/warehouse/prison which is backlit with multiple shadows is extraordinary) and the CCTV footage style is never excessive or derivative. The one feeling I was left with having bought it online second hand for about £2.50, was: cool, but I doubt I'll watch that again. At least a year's time before I consider it. It would only be worth it for Evans' performance, as unfortunately, the makers just couldn't get a classy enough backup cast; the Rachel character is a particular weakness, when her role is critical to the narrative, yet she remains the weakest performance here, verging on high school incompetence at times. The notion that British law would ever allow such a blatant miscarriage of justice, when the evidence is SO SO flimsy against Sean, further upsets things. You tend to let it go, though, thanks to Evans brilliant portrayal as a man condemned to fight for his right to innocence. Worth checking out, but don't go out of your way.

Low budget doesn't have to equal crap

[M-Ols · 7/10 · 30 May 2007]

Evans rocks as the paranoid Veil. Rarely do we get to see an actor so totally give to a role. His performance alone makes this one worth watching.

The movie starts out promisingly -- a modern Kafkaesque tale of an innocent man pursued by Authorities; but ultimately it's twisting plot (chock full of red herrings and diabolical suspects) stretches pretty thin.

It was very refreshing to see some "new" faces on screen. The lack of certifiable star-power re-enforced the cinema verite aspects of the film.

Any young film-maker would do him/herself a favor by seeing what can be accomplished on a small budget -- provided you have a decent script, good editing and fantastic lead performance.

A good idea with a tacky thriller plot nailed to it

[harekrishna · 2/10 · 9 May 2006]

This film starts off well (although the makers clearly 'borrowed' a lot of their ideas from Darren Aronofsky's 'Pi') - it looks gritty, cold, suitable for a film about paranoia.

The problem is, Lee Evans can't act, and neither can the rest of the cast, and even if they could they'd have to be superhuman to make a script this dreadful sound good.

Overall, it's an interesting idea let down by awful production. The frankly awful plot feels like an afterthought, almost as if someone really, *really* wanted to make a film about a guy who tapes everything he does but couldn't work out where to go with the idea - so they watched an episode of 'Silent Witness' and made some notes on the back of a fag packet.

Verdict: rubbish. Better films, please, British Film Industry. And stop giving Lee Evans work. He acts like a Frank Spencer who's eaten too many blue Smarties. Ooh, Betty, the cat's been filming my secret murders!

A dark thriller, far exceeding expectations.

[Y2Neil · 9/10 · 2 February 2005]

The film follows the life of Sean Veil who has been accused of the brutal murder of twin six year old girls, their mother and the brutal assault of their father. Sean knows that he is an innocent man, and although the court can't prove he is guilty, Detective Mountjoy (Colin Salmon) and criminal psychologist Saul Seger (Ian McNeice) are determined that he is and will do anything to put him behind bars. Determined to make sure he is never accused of anything again Sean sets up video cameras throughout his entire home and won't leave the house unless he is being videotaped on his "self-cam". When the police storm his home accusing him of another murder he can prove his innocence - or can he? As the specific tapes that are needed have gone missing.

The film is an incredibly dark, chilling and suspense filled thriller that uses many shots from the CCTV that follows Sean around his life. There is a distinct lack of colour throughout the entire film which adds to the eerie nature. The film uses many images of entrapment throughout by the use of camera shots and tricks and really shows the paranoia that runs constantly in Sean's head - even though the first thing he "must remember" is that 'Paranoia is a malfunction of the ability to reason'.

Paranoid... for good reason.. they're NOTwatching him.

[p-whaley · 7/10 · 5 March 2005]

A 'thrown out of court' murder suspect becomes obsessed with being able to prove his innocence at all times. The film delivers minor twists on a journey that takes you into the life of a significantly disturbed individual and is centered around the people that crafted his mental disorder.

Lee Evans shows what he is capable of when not acting as the guerning unfunny comedian that brought him fame (how?!?!).

This could serve as a quality made for TV, BBC 2 parter. On film, well, there's no special effects so sadly, it wouldn't satisfy the majority of modern film audiences. I felt Lee's performance lifted this from a 5/10 to a 7/10. Certainly worth watching.

uncompelling, implausible and ultimately too painful to watch..

[CineCritic2517 · 1/10 · 22 October 2006]

First off, if someone would go out of his way to such an extend as the main character Veil in Freeze Frame to get himself a life supply of alibi, wouldn't it be a lot easier to just plant a chip somewhere in his arse? Without going into the elaborate details of such a plant; Yes! it would! (And with the famous words of Frederick Forrest in Falling Down: "Think about it!")

So much for the premise...

What have we got left then? Let's see. We are stuck with a flick in which truly horrible acting is a virtue leaving no exceptions. Besides the premise we get served a storyline which has been done better in any average episode of Scooby Doo and we get to see an ending which has been done better in any lesser episode of Scooby Doo. I'm not kidding nor am I exaggerating!

Didn't this movie have any redeeming qualities at all? yes it did, it ended at some point.

If it wasn't for the plot, one would think he was watching a children's-picture. It all fits: the deranged bad guy, the crooked detective and his nutty aid and the female reporter! Even the cardboard acting would in that case work as children wouldn't mind overplayed stereotypes. They love it!

To list all the implausibility's in this movie would require me to see it again and take notes scene by scene. As u no doubt have guessed, I'm not going to.

If it wasn't so painful to watch, it might have been good for a laugh or two.

0/10

Chillingly Superb

[joannecole999 · 10/10 · 20 June 2004]

To most people Lee Evans is the goofy comic off the telly, but this film shows that there is more to Mr Evans than meets the eye.

He gives a superbly chilling performance as Sean Veil an acquitted murder suspect who films himself 24 hours a day every day, (the opening sequence shows him being woken by an alarm as he struggles to put a new tape in the camera). He's being chased by a police psychologist, two cops and an investigative reporter who all seem to have dark little secrets of their own.

The film comes to a dramatic and violent conclusion, so take someone with you it your easily scared.

An excellent British thriller.

A good idea that needed a better script

[sarahcyn · 7/10 · 23 June 2004]

Taking into consideration how much of this film consists of the view from the main character's "self-cam", mounted on a harness round his chest, Lee Evans was surely entitled to a joint credit as cameraman! It's really not a bad film, the basic idea is brilliant, but a better script would have led us further into Sean Veil's mind. (If Evans had written the script himself - now that could have been interesting) Veil's obsessive behaviour LOOKS like a symptom of guilt rather than of innocence: that's an idea that Simpson could have run with - he could have tempted us a little more with the possibility that Veil was in fact a murderer after all. Of course the plot has millions of holes but it's the overall look that stays in your mind, and Lee Evans' sad, lonely face as he endures surely the most joyless f*** in history. And how much fatter is Ian McNeice going to get? Is he competing with Richard Griffiths?

Good start of a dark movie

[ofjeworstlust · 2/10 · 22 January 2006]

...but it ends with a uneasy feeling.

The characters aren't sympathetic and everyone seems to have a kind of neural disorder. But hey, what would you expect from a dark thriller like this. Especially dark because of the lighting and colors used during daylight.

The scenario attracted me to this film, and the first half definitely was worth the time. Somehow the dialogs are too long and too "deep" to keep the thriller feeling alive. A few small twists at the end, and you've got a perfect mix between memento, twisted and the fugitive.

As the movie started, I was alerted by lines that made clear it was an Irish movie, and a lot of quite unknown actors passed by (notice the one with the double under chin...) It wasn't bad, but just don't have too much expectations!

Great film, bad ending

[middlerealm · 20 June 2004]

I knew nothing of this film until the day i saw it. I came across an advert for it in a local newspaper, checked out where it was showing and went to see it that night. I was gripped by the idea of this bizarre story of paranoia taken to extremes. The acting was, for the most part, very well done, Lee Evans proving he is far more than a slap-stick comic by portraying his character with stunning levels of emotion. Direction was fantastic, building the paranoia throughout the film. The only thing that let it down was the OTT ending which had me groaning in dismay. There were too many twists (most of which were blatantly foreseeable) within the last few minutes. Character development was also a little too staggered. Some of the characters seemed to change completely from one minute to the next, no gradual change or hints beforehand... On the whole, this was an intriguing film, well acted and well directed. One of the better films of the year. Maybe its time Hollywood took some notice that you don't need $200 million+ to make an enjoyable movie.

Interesting....Odd

[rocky2576 · 7/10 · 5 May 2004]

Very interesting movie. I just saw it today at the Tribeca Film Festival in NYC. It was a very odd movie. Being that there are not that many characters in the movie you can pretty much figure out who the killer is. It is a good ending... but the screaming was a bit too much.

Rocky2576

DIfferent kind of thriller

[xredgarnetx · 7/10 · 25 August 2007]

Irish-shot FREEZE FRAME stars the goofy, jug-eared guy from FIFTH ELEMENT and THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY as a paranoid murder suspect who constantly videotapes himself to prove his whereabouts. A TB-stricken detective has in it for him after the guy gets off on a triple-murder charge. Someone else appears to be shadowing the poor guy and possibly breaking into his home to steal some of his tapes. And a strikingly beautiful woman is after him for other reasons. The ending comes as a shocker of sorts, although it all feels a bit contrived. The film is shot mostly in muted colors or no colors at all, and the suspect wanders about with his head end eyebrows shaved and a videocamera attached to his torso. While this Kafka-esquire film is listed as running 99 minutes, after while it begins to seem more like 199 minutes. Not much honestly happens until the end. A truly erotic "rape" scene near the end perks things up a bit. For indie film fans only.

Visually Stunning.

[24540647 · 8/10 · 6 April 2005]

Firstly, I have to say Lee Evans is without doubt stunning in this film. We can only hope that he gets further meaty roles on the back of this performance.

A triple murder suspect has his case thrown out of court due to police incompetence. Vowing his innocence, he becomes a paranoid who tapes himself "24/7/52" and keeps the tapes in a special vault. Just before the 10th anniversary of the murders, he is again arrested on suspicion of murder, and when he tries to produce the relevant tapes they are missing.

The only downside to this superbly edited, visually stunning film is the lack of suspects as there are only half a dozen characters throughout. Other than that, it's well worth watching. Unlike most people here, I even enjoyed the ending (especially Evans last words!)

Visually stunning but overly dramatic storyline.

[blozout · 6/10 · 6 May 2004]

I went to the world premiere of Freeze Frame last night at the Tribeca Film Festival. Not knowing much about the film I didn't expect much. I was pleasantly surprised by how stylized and visually compelling the film was. The camera work and editing was great, the audience truly got a sense of the paranoia the main character was feeling. The producer Michael Casey and the director John Simpson both spoke about how much effort went into the film editing, mentioning that they had been up to 53 hours of overall footage at one point. What did disappoint me however was the overplayed drama and weak, cliche ending that let down whatever suspense the movie had managed to build. The idea of a man video-taping his life 24 hours a day to prove his innocence was a great idea but in the end the screenplay let itself down. As for first timers Casey and Simpson it was a great effort and I am looking forward to their future projects.

Smart and a little disturbing

[Indyrod · 8/10 · 27 June 2005]

This Irish movie is my surprise hit of the weekend so far. I've never heard of this movie, and had no idea what to expect except what is on the DVD box, which looked pretty good. The story is about a guy that was accused of a brutal triple homicide ten years ago, and was let go because of technicalities. Since he believed he was being set up the police, he started videotaping every single thing he has done since then, 24/7/52, believing the cops were trying to hang other murders on him, he's turned into a real paranoid. And for good reason, because a dying sick detective is trying to get him for anything he can, before he dies himself. Bring into this a forensic crime writer who keeps giving lectures and writing books about guilty criminals that get off because of technicalities. So, our guy even has a camera mounted on his torso pointing towards his face whenever he leaves his bunker like home, which has cameras everywhere possible. Along come the cops who accuse him again, of a murder five years ago, and when he goes to find that particular tape, it is missing. YEEKS!!!! Then things get really complicated for him, and we get into a bunch of twists and turns towards the climax of the story, that made this a great Saturday night flick that's a little off center, and somewhat disturbing. Great movie, and I hope some of the rest of you have a chance to see it. Very very original, and quite creative, with excellent performances. This is my pick of the week for something out of the blue.

Freeze Frame. Some nice ideas

[area01 · 6/10 · 5 January 2006]

**Mini Spoiler*** The plot of this film is a little too obvious, and why do scripts have to have one of the main four characters end up as the killer? I will not let on as to who, just to keep you in suspense. **Mini Spoiler Ends***

This flick has the feel of a modern day Agatha Christie novel, and could have been a stage-play with it's limited locales. But…. It has some great visuals, and I loved the broken up, jerky digital images that got thrown up in the early part of the film. The vault of Camcorder Tapes detailing an obsessive man's life was great.

Lee Evans shows he is a good actor, but I do not think this was the break-through film for him. He has the potential of doing what Robin Williams cooked up in One Hour Photo - and just needs the right part…

The Point-Of-View footage and multiple camcorder images did wear after awhile, and the rest of the movie was so jet-black that things got a little dull visually - even the likes of ultra-bleak Se7en had a few "colourful" moments - but this was probably the look the makers were striving for.

Also, I kept thinking "why do that?" and "what a stupid thing to have done" - normally plot-holes do not bother me, but the storyline was straying a lot from it's initial edgy, hyper-realistic, noir style. Things just seemed to get more and more illogical, but with everyone still playing it fairly straight - unless I was missing something…..

So…. A nice effort and lots of style for a limited budget - but a little too formulaic and over-stylised for my liking.

Hilariously Bad!

[SiggieHolmes · 21 June 2004]

I sat down to watch Freeze Frame expecting a thriller but instead I got a comedy. This film is just plain BAD. Lee Evans, who I'll admit is not a favourite of mine, does his best but he's battling against a very poor script and some terrible production design. It borrows it's look of off the CSI franchise/Silent Witness. Everything is filmed in a muted palette and every interior is poorly lit. You want to shout out "Turn a light on!".The plot holes and illogical moments are legion...for example we are told that Evans character (Veil...how symbolic!) shaves his hair & eyebrows off so that he will stand out in a crowd, making him harder to frame for any crime. However he then proceeds to trot along to a book signing with the hood of his jacket obscuring both his head and his forehead! WARNING SPOILERS Another favourite of mine was when video tapes are found on the body of a dead woman...we see photos of her corpse and she's rotted down to a very white looking skeleton...how exactly did these tapes survive? Another question that popped into my mind was how does Veil support himself? Is he a millionaire?

The clichés are piled on relentlessly...the embittered cop, out to solve one last case...the relative who has disguised themselves to seek revenge...on and on....

The audience, myself included started laughing about ten minutes in...and continued right up until the truly hilarious finale. When Evans and Stirling are moaning in supposed emotional agony I had tears rolling down my face. Talking of Stirling she proves once again that she may be mummy's double but she can't act like her!

Two members of the audience left in disgust before the end! What more do I need to add? It's so bad that the only enjoyment you'll get out of it is if you forget about trying to be scared/intrigued and just revel in the awfulness of it.

Freeze Frame

[jboothmillard · 6/10 · 27 September 2006]

Dropping his genius active stand-up comic and rubber-face image, Lee Evans in a serious role is pretty good. Basically Sean Veil (Evans) was almost convicted by a near murder, and he tapes himself 24-7 to make sure he has an alibi if he is found suspected, or guilty. Along the way he comes across many people trying to get into his mind and understand him, including Forensic Profiler Saul Seger (Ace Ventura 2's Ian McNeice) who believes he knows him more than he knows himself. Also trying to find his guilt or innocence are Detective Louis Emeric (Sean McGinley), who is dying from coughing up blood, and Colin Salmon as Detective Mountjoy, who is just going with the flow. There are people that may believe his innocence though, including Katie Carter (Rachael Stirling), who is the murder victims' sister! Anyway, whatever happens to him, he has all the filmed evidence to help him prove his innocence. A creepy story from a first-time director, with paranoia and a disturbing bald Evans. Good!

Is he a paranoid freak who did it, or is he totally innocent

[manutdstott · 7/10 · 5 May 2006]

Well worth a look, Lee Evans can actually act as a serious actor, not just wacky & funny, I was very dubious about seeing this movie Lee Evans playing the part of murder suspect who video's his life 24/7/52 didn't really appeal to me, I thought I'd give it a look anyway after checking out the review's on the trusty IMDb.com, I made my mind up to see it. This isn't a movie I'v heard of until recently, and I'm glad I'v seen it, I give it about 6.7. The plot a Family murdered Lee Evans the suspect,released didn't do it, so he films himself round the clock even on the loo, there's other murders, but hes got the video evidence to prove he wasn't involved, or has he is he being framed for a crime he did not commit, or is he a murderer who's covering his own back, get it yourself to find the truth.
