Starring: Reese Witherspoon, Kiefer Sutherland, Bokeem Woodbine

Reese Witherspoon as potty-mouthed white trash Vanessa Lutz is among her most underrated roles. In this modern take on Little Red Riding Hood, Kiefer Sutherland plays the not subtly named Bob Wolverton, a serial killer who meets his match in Vanessa, a fifteen year old on her way to her grandmother’s after her parents are both arrested. Bob picks her up hitchhiking, gains her trust and then reveals himself – but Vanessa is sharp and quick, shooting him and leaving him for dead. Trouble is, he doesn’t die, and instead she finds herself on trial. Can this bad behaving juvenile delinquent win against a well-respected school counselor? You better believe she won’t go down without a fight!

Written and directed by Matthew Bright, best known as the screenwriter for Forbidden Zone, Freeway is impressive and often hilarious with a great support cast including Brooke Shields, Amanda Plummer and Dan Hedaya.
