Review of Freedom

Freedom (2000–2001)
A Waste
17 June 2002
It was the opportunity for Americans to feel what, mainly because of your government's fight against Marxism, millions of people around the world suffered, and are still suffering, including my country, where the coup and the following military regime took the lives of 30000 souls and lead us to a war that was impossible to win and turned us into a scum in international relations, and are also to blame for the catastrophic situation we're on. But let's get to business. At the beggining I thought it was an original idea, that could have been based on the European resistance during WWII. But the hunger for freedom/revenge stepped a side for the Matrix generation who were expecting a John Woo's film, with large backwards jumping and wall walking. A shame. It had a cast that not being the cream of TV it wasn't that bad, specially McCallany and Chorvat. But again what could have become one of the best action shows (but a well done one), became a mere fashion product with expensive sport cars and 4x4, leather and black clothing, an annoying and strident electronic music, a lot of hand to hand fighting and many, many explotions. Not to mention it usually had a stupid plot. Basically it's an example of how to waste a great idea and an adequate cast and turn it into just another product for the 90's Generation.I can't stop imagining what a good show it could have been, or at least in the many good ways the budget could have been used.
