It's just the sort of thing Oliver Stone strove so hard to achieve in Natural Born Killers, and [writer/director Matthew] Bright pulls it off effortlessly.

Freeway somehow manages to be hip, imaginative and hilarious. Road film, comedy, prison drama and Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers all rolled into one.

Shockingly dark and nasty take on the Red Riding Hood tale.

[The] characters are crisp and fascinating, and the movie has a great anything-can-happen B-movie excitement feel to it.

Rude in the way the truth is rude -- only funnier.

Darkly humorous, witty and nasty, Freeway is an original take on the Red Riding Hood fairytale, featuring a wonderful performance by the teenage Reese Witherspoon, before she became a star
February 14, 2001
It's too drawn-out, too talky and, at the most crucial moment, needlessly implausible, to sustain its humor and large dose of violence.
May 20, 2003
Freeway glints here and there with dark humor amounting to a knowing wink that undercuts the cautionary tale at its heart and the seriousness of its graphic sociology.
February 13, 2008
One of the most stubbornly original and electrifying films not only of 1996, but of the '90s, period.
July 12, 2002
Cynical, stylish and witty.

Like it or hate it (or both), you have to ire its skill, and the over-the-top virtuosity of Reese Witherspoon and Kiefer Sutherland.
January 26, 2006
There's not much edification in store, and [director] Bright cruises over some bumpy plot holes, but the teen's perspective does put a black comic spotlight on wider social hypocrisies.
