European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - February 2, 1992, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Anthony Hopkins Emilio Estevez and Mick Jagger Star in the science fiction film free Jack. Morgan croak production Chuck Vinch stall writer a Aon Mon ii  r a a must see Worth your time passable entertainment Corning soon to a video outlet near you and you can wait the folks who put together this Sci i body snatching tale get fair Marks for originality but they falter when it comes to following through on the idea. They Are not helped by Emilio Estevez in the Lead role As he offers further evidence of his peculiarly off putting screen personality. Estevez plays Alex Furlong a race car Driver w to is saved from death just before his ride goes up in flames during a race. He lands in the year 2009, and finds a nation far different than the one he left behind. While the Rich live High above the streets in heavily secured apartments the homeless unemployed rabble Mill about Down below and Street thugs rip the night with automatic weapons fire. Because the pollution of the Lime causes people to age and die so quickly a ruthless worldwide corporation has devised a Way to Transfer Peoples psyches out of their own disease Ridden bodies and into healthy bodies that Are snatched from the past just before they die. But Only the Rich can afford the process. Alexis kidnapper is a a ebon Jack Quot named Vacendak Mick Jagger. He s a free Lance Bounty Hunter of sorts paid to bring Back healthy bodies for mind transfers. But he loses Alex when his team is attacked by rebels and the Chase is on. And on. And on. From there things get progressively More nonsensical. Alex decides to look up his old Girlfriend Julie Rene Russ who seems As if she Hasni to aged a minute since Alexis apparent death is years before. In one of those plot twists that Are Standard in these kinds of films Russo works for the evil executive Anthony Hopkins whose psyche is on hold awaiting a new body. In terms of sociological vision writers Steven Pressfield Ronald Shusett and Dan Gilroy As Well As director Geoff Murphy follow the Road map Laid Down by countless other Hollywood visions of futuristic . Society that usually Center on rampant anarchy corruption and greed. Estevez attacks his role with the same kind of goofy class Clown Demeanour that has inexplicably kept his career alive. Hopkins who stunned movie fans with his portrayal of Hannibal a the Cannibal a  in the silence of the lambs does an adequate Job but he keeps his head Down much of the time Here As if he really does no to want to be noticed. Russo does her usual serviceable Job in her usual supporting role. The Only cast member who seems to have much real fun is Jagger in his first feature film role since his work in performance and Ned Kelly both from llj7. He uses his hone thin Frame and menacingly angular face to make the most of his characters look and begets a lot of the Good lines too. When Alex dives into the East River to get away from Vacendak the Bounty Hunter coolly Calls out. Quot if you drink any of that in a out of a  the action is almost non Stop and the special Cal cols Are solid Courtesy of the team that devised the screen tricks for total recall. Murphy tries to give it a Llla Debrunner kind of feel but he can t move the film beyond the level of second rung Knockoff.
