Freeze Frame (2004)

Plot: Sean Veil (Lee Evans) is a man who has been accused of killing a mother and 2 daughters 10 years ago. Since this he is mega paranoid by this which he ends up convincing that everyone's out to get him so he has been filming himself ever since and he keeps the tapes in a special vault for evidence. Now, 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 that end up going missing; which ends up starting a journey of finding answers and prove his innocence. First of all, the film was great. It was a weird, original and intriguing story line. It was really dark and full of suspense as it made me on the edge of my seat cause I always wanted to watch what's gonna happen next cause it made me feel that I was in Sean's shoes.Lee Evans gives a great performance for his character Sean. You may find him as a funky and active comedian which everyone loves but after watching this, you find a different side to him which shows he's good acting as you become more engaged with his character too as well as feeling sorry for him.The camera shots used for the film gave a eerie image and uses less colour to make it realistic. The tricks also show the true paranoia that Sean suffers throughout. The conclusion is also weird but I thought it was a good as it gave a great end towards Sean's journey to find innocence and answers.It's well worth seeing! One side, if you get scared easily, bring someone with you. :D (That happened to me in the end)Overall: A great chilling and crafted thriller! Verdict: 9.5/10 :)

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.

Utterly absurd thriller, though original in some ways. From the beginning I knew that the cop and/or the shrink were in some way hiding something and I was right. It turned out to be a pretty shaky motive for hiding the identity of the killer. And how about the killer's daughter going on a bit of a rampage herself – and that first murder (manslaughter) of hers! Oh, sorry, I just shoved you a bit and now you're dead! Well, that's a bit of jolly bad luck, old sport, ey? I've seen dumber thriller, far dumber actually, so this one doesn't even rate as being THAT silly on a silliness scale for thrillers. Still, the film isn't dull, although a bit slow here and there.

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!)
