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.

C-

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!
