To me, this movie is perfection.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

As above, really - I knew nothing about 'Freeze Frame', stumbled upon it and it captured me from the very first minute. The first scene sets the mood for the whole story - a perfect introduction for a tale that uses multiple-cam narration masterfully. No doubt that films like Open Windows or the V/H/S series took inspiration from it. Lee Evans is fantastic and infuses his character with the right amount of pathos. I could only complain that the climax loses a bit of intensity due to R Stirling performance; there was something off, not sure why, but I had one of those moments when you feel a bit detached. More than recommended, especially the interrogation scenes and Sean Veil's musings

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.

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

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!
