5 out of 9 people found the following review useful.
A poor adaption of the novel, 2 April 1999
1/10
Author: Ron Manke from Edmonton, Canada

Freejack is a poor adaption of Robert Sheckley's novel, Immortality, Inc.

Robert Sheckley's novel was a comedy that tackled some interestingly serious issues. None of those things came through in this movie, which was reduced to a boring sci-fi chase movie.

The only people that might 'possibly' enjoy this movie are fans of Mick Jagger, as you can watch him running around on screen.

Robert Sheckley's work deserves better, as he is one of the best science fiction authors of all time.
