Audience Member Shoulda titled this ‘Fifty Shades of Training Day.' This was better than expected but I wasn't expecting much.... spoke too soon. The ‘Training Day' vibe comes in the first half of the movie and is when it's at it's most focused and best. As it goes on, the storyline changes. Also, flashback fails throughout. Not the worst movie about police corruption but it becomes a tired trope before devolving into total garbage. Oh look, a horse race. Horrible ending. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member zero stars Direct to video movies are bad. This one is the worst. It's the worst of De Niro's career. It's so bad that they probably had to clean the entire studio after making it. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Awful. Films that are dark must be substantive, feature outstanding performances, and offer some sense of purpose and realism. Freelances does none of these things. There are no heroes in this film and no characters worthy of audience investment; from the beginning of the movie, we're waiting for the end. Even Robert De Niro cannot redeem this mess of cop cliche and poor film-making. I think we've learned that 50 Cent is two quarters short of solid acting ability. Time to make change... Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Dirigida por Jessy Terrero nos llega esta película sobre la corrupción policial. 50 Cent es 'Malo' Maldonado un joven policía recién graduado que ha dejado atrás una vida de delincuencia en la calle junto a dos de sus amigos. Será reclutado por Sarcone (Robert DeNiro) un policía corrupto que lidera a un grupo encargado de manejar las calles y las drogas y que siempre reciben su parte. Deberá aprender las mañas propias de un policía corrupto de su nuevo compañero LaRue (Forest Whitaker) mientras sus compañeros y grandes amigos aprenden con compañeros completamente distintos en un mundo cargado de corrupción, racismo, prejuicios, violencia, sexo y drogas. Malo, con la sombra de su padre a cuestas, deberá decidir entre el bien y el mal.. o alguna tercera opción. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member She ran off with your balls, kid. The son of a slain cop has also decided to join the police force after years of thinking it wasn't for him. He impresses quickly and is identified as a potential candidate to join the same special unit his father was on. He discovers the special unit is corrupt and will need to decide to play along or bring it down. "Pick a girl. Have some fun." Jessy Terrero, director of Soul Plane, Gun, and the upcoming Pursuit, delivers Freelancers. The storyline for this picture is fairly cliché and straightforward. The action is okay and the script is very mediocre. The characters aren't overly well written or interesting. The cast delivers mediocre performances and includes Robert De Niro, 50 Cent, Forest Whitaker, and Anabelle Acosta. "Sometimes it's a woman that kicks you in the balls the hardest." I recently came across this on Netflix and decided to give it a shot. This is a cliché picture within the genre with a very straightforward and unimaginative plot, like a poor man's Training Day. I don't recommend this and would probably skip it unless nothing else is on. "I'll leave the light on for you."
