San Francisco Chronicle
Freeway is rude in the way the truth is rude -- only funnier. The movie seduces with its humor, all the while presenting a realized vision of a harsh, absurd world. - 88
Chicago Sun-Times
It seems aimed at people who loved "Pulp Fiction'' and have strong stomachs. Like it or hate it (or both), you have to admire its skill, and the over-the-top virtuosity of Reese Witherspoon and Kiefer Sutherland as the girl and the wolf. - 88
ReelViews
Using black humor, blood, and a pair of tremendous performances, Freeway hones in on its targets and calculatedly skewers them one-by-one…This movie is both grimly funny and thought-provoking. - 80
Empire
The road-crime movie is such a formula in Hollywood that almost every debuting director turns one out, but writer-director Matthew Bright rings the changes by modeling this white trash nightmare on Red Riding Hood. - 75
San Francisco Examiner
A hip, corrosive and often hilarious entertainment, the movie strikes another blow for the American independent film. - 75
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Cynical, stylish and witty. [21 Feb 1997] - 50
Chicago Reader
In spirit, if not in letter, it often resembles a gritty Warners crime movie of the 30s, and it held my interest in spite of its excesses. - 50
The New York Times
Rather than seeming classic, Freeway appears to be another film maker showcase, a derivative apprentice work.
