SPOILERS THROUGH:
It's really kind of funny how you see a movie a long time ago and it sticks in your head. I saw this with a bunch of friends many years ago, and while we didn't like it very much, it held our attention. The main problem this movie has is it's like a million other movies of this type that play late at night and have a similar plot. My friends and I have seen many yet for some reason this stuck in my head and my friends' heads as well.
Negatives first. It is rather overlong and one feels the time. The plot's' been done before many a time. Then there is the low budget factor of the movie which didn't actually bother me all that much because I sometimes really dig some low budget b-type movies. But the movie really did seem very much like other late nights of this type, it's difficult to keep from mixing it up with others.
The biggest positive about Freeway is that years later, many many years after first having seen it, For some reason my friends and I still occasionally talk about it. So it must have made a bit more of an impact then others of this type. I think as a late night this is maybe worth seeing but I wouldn't pay money to view it. I'm giving it a vote of 5 because unlike scores of other similar movies we remembered this one. My vote's 5.
