An ultra-paranoid murder suspect videotapes himself around the clock so he'll have a rock-solid alibi if he's ever accused of another crime. But the one tape that could prove his innocence of a new murder mysteriously disappears and he's forced to go on the run to fabricate the evidence of the missing hours...

The concept of Freeze Frame is simple but interesting. Lee Evans was accused but acquitted 10 years previously of a vicious murder. He claims he is innocent and records every minute of his life and archives the footage in case he is accused of another crime and so needs an alibi. His life is thrown into termoil when his fear is realised but the tape he needs is missing.
The way the movie is filmed is very nice - very british and has a nice realistic feel. The characters are maybe a little clichéd but for the most part believable and the actors do what's required of them. Before watching you know that Lee Evans is either going to be horribly mis-cast or an inspired choice for the role. As it turns out - it's the latter. With a shaved head and face he also really looks the part.
On the whole I enjoyed this movie but felt that torwards the end it tripped itself up on it's own twists - maybe trying to be a little too clever.
Not a bad film but not a great one either. Watch it if you get the chance but don't pay too much for the pleasure.

I felt compelled to write because a couple of reviews of this film completely rubbish it. Amazon: how can you use peoples reviews of films when they admit to only having watched half an hour of it, then they turned it off? It is beyond me.
Yes, the film does take some time to get going, but stick with it - it certainly isn't the best film I've ever seen, by a long shot, but neither is it the worst. It is a bit silly in places and rather unrealistic, and I wouldn't advise anybody to buy it unless they really liked it, but it's worth renting.

I thought this was a good film, although I agree that it is a slow starter. I think it is worth viewing for Evans performance alone. We are so used to his self proclaimed 'monkey man' antics and this is such a departure from that 'role' for him. It has an OK ending and the premise is quite good although not brilliantly executed. I'd say it's worth a viewing and being your own judge.

Hard Work
Stopped watching it after 30 minutes and that alone was a feat of endurance.
For all I know it may have turned into a Busby Berkeley musical afterwards - but I very much doubt... Read more

Good 'Evans - dark, disturbing and anything but funny
Lee Evans is a comedian many will either like or intensely dislike; his manic stand-up is noted for visual gags. Read more

What happens when paranoia takes over
Being a huge fan of Lee Evans, I knew for a while that he was bringing this film out, and that it was not going to be comedy based! This film took me completely be suprise. Read more

Freeze Frame rocks! It looks like The Matrix but has a better plot, Lee Evans is an inspired piece of 'casting against type' playing the part of a paranoid-nutter with alarming... Read more
