‘Freeway’
Reese Witherspoon is sure nice, but aren’t you curious about her dark side? Then check out Freeway, a twisted take on the tale of Little Red Riding Hood that features Witherspoon as Vanessa Lutz, a hard-drinking, violent teenage hellion, who flees to her grandmother’s house with child services in hot pursuit. Along the way, she hitches a ride with Bob Wolverton (Kiefer Sutherland), a wolf in serial killer form…who is no match for Vanessa. After shooting him several times, Vanessa is apprehended and sent to prison, which she soon breaks out of, heading once more to grandmother’s house. Though the law and Bob are on her trail, we like Vanessa’s chances. Featuring wild supporting turns from Brooke Shields, Dan Hedaya and Brittany Murphy, Freeway is a pulpy, thrill-ride that is brutal, hilarious and unrelenting.
