Mjeteconer Just perfect...

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

poj-man Good lord is this an awful movie. The characters and say nothing that any human being would do or say. It's amazing that a lady who is head of a major gun manufacturing company is someone no one misses when she is held in the park. She is trapped chained to a hot dog stand....where of course she never has to pee...and which has conveniently placed Coke products for product placement...and the only people she speaks to are the sniper and the next the next important character needed to move the plot forward. No one calls her about missing a facial appointment or anything like that.Of course there is a bomb in the cart. Yet...with hundreds of people walking by all the time not one damn one of them ever notices that she is chained to a hot dog cart! And...with a sniper trained on her...which means there is only one single angle to shoot from but no one can figure that out...and a cop shot dead in the street for at least 12 minutes before any rescue can arrive....so nice of the dreck to inform us...NO ONE IS TAKING CHARGE OF THE AREA TO SECURE THE AREA! Not only was any legal context of the Second Amendment ever researched before writing this crap...law enforcement 101 was also skipped.This is an amazing exercise in convenience. Nobody's cell phone dies at the wrong time and the calls are not interrupted. The master villain knows everything about everyone and knows exactly when they will show up. Everything is so "pat" it is just silly.

Syl Linda Fiorentino really steals the screen in this film. She holds her own with Wesley Snipes. The film has political message about guns, gun control, and violence. Of course, it must be written from a leftist liberal point of view. Wesley Snipes' character has a grudge against guns. Along the film, we learn his motives and why he is so angry and vengeful but we never really know the whole story. There are lot more questions that go unanswered. I found the ending scene to be more confusing. I get the message that guns are bad. For the beginning part of the film until the television stations begin with K that I knew it was West Coast. I thought it was set in New York City but it turns out to be in Los Angeles and I later learned that the film was filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada which is often substituted for other cities. Anyway, Oliver Platt has a supporting role as Liberty's husband. Although we rarely see Liberty interact physically with Snipes or Platt's characters except on cell phones. This film was probably in production long before the events on September 11, 2001 and I can see why it was not promoted. Anyway, I wish Linda Fiorentino would come back to acting. She can hold her own against anybody.

dfm1967 I saw Liberty Stands Still knowing what it was about and wanted to give it a chance. Thank God it was on cable and I did not rent it. Such a waste of talent. If you want to see a film that deals with gun violence, see the last film James Coburn ever made (American Gun, 2002). That film had class,appeal, and NO SENSELESS VIOLENCE gun play like Skoagland's mistake. What's sad is that people are so close-minded anymore that they believe blatant diatribe posing as art can be taken seriously. My guess is that most posters who liked this film are young,idealistic wet-behind-the-ears types. And NO, I did not want an "action film" for all of you apologists for Liberty Stands Still. The movie S-U-C-K-E-D.

ask230000 "Liberty Stands Still" was the original phone-booth-style movie, actually coming out over a year before the much more popular film, "Phone Booth," did. "Liberty" premiered at the Palm Springs International Film Festival on January 18, 2002 and was released very soon thereafter. "Phone Booth," on the other hand, premiered at the Toronto Film Festival on September 10, 2002; got it's first US showing at the South By Southwest Film Fest on March 11, 2003; and and wasn't officially released to the US public until April 4th, 2003--well over a year after "Liberty Stands Still" played in theaters.Who copied who? I don't know. All I know is that the idea for this type of 'phone booth' thriller movie first appeared to the public with "Liberty Stands Still" in early January, 2002 (maybe even a little before). Who knows when or with whom the idea originated? Maybe Joel Schumacher was sitting on the "Phone Booth" story for a decade before he started trying to get it made. But, as far as I can see, his film is likely to have copied "Liberty Stands Still," not the other way around.If anyone knows otherwise or has evidence one way or the other, please post who first had the idea and your evidence for why you believe so. This is just a likely assumption. I don't know for sure.
