As the heir and current marketing director for one of the nation's biggest gun manufacturers, Liberty Wallace (Linda Fiorentino) is indifferent to the atrocities made possible through her business and her CEO husband, Victor (Oliver Platt). On her way to see her actor lover, Liberty ends up chained to a food cart full of explosives -- all at the insistence of "Joe" (Wesley Snipes), a sniper whose young daughter was a victim of gun violence, and who now has Liberty in his sights.

Reel Film Reviews

Writer/director Kari Skogland clearly has an agenda - the film is vehemently anti-gun - resulting in incredibly obvious and preachy instances of dialogue and a ham-fisted approach to the storyline.

Rated: 1.5/4

A ripe-on-the-vine concept married to strident execution. There's thought here, but Liberty is marred by vague, freshman directorial touches.

Some compare this to phone booth and I can see that. This was a very good movie but phone booth was better. Tim Treakle

The film is a bit hokey but I really enjoyed the tension in this film. The ending was.... okay but it still had a satisfactory ending

Wesley Snipes does a decent job and Linda Florentino does a very good job as his target. Worth the hour and a half.

Terrible "suspense" movie that was nothing but mind numbing lame plot twists. Lacking in any real qualities, a real hack work of putting nonsensical exciting scenes one after the other, more of a pointless blur of action than real suspense, constant nonsensical changes in direction to give the illusion of a complex plot. This film represents the laziest, worst parts of action/suspense.

Contrived nonsense with a so-called plot that is a mere pretext for pushing a political agenda. Poorly acted, poorly directed, and offensive to the intelligence. wher do I get these 90 minutes of my life back??? UGH!
