Liberty Stands Still

Linda Fiorentino (Liberty Wallace) an international arms dealer who sells to anyone...no questions asked. While out to meet her lover, she receives a phone-call; the sniper (Welsey Snipes) who she is talking to has her in his sights, and if... Full review

Why is it that all the trouble these days start when you answer you phone/cell phone? From the moment Snipes dials in Fiorentino's cell phone, all the suspense begins. She starts by being the one who's in control, but it's obvious... Full review

A low-key and seemingly missed thriller. Wesley Snipes provides a slow and unusually underplayed performance, with no physical fighting or glib one liners. In fact it's an extremely mature performance that shows what an overlooked actor he really is. An... Full review

There's an interesting audience response to this movie. The director has captured the audience in the movie theater and forced it to takea look at the handgun issue...not by getting the audience's attention with car chases and breasts heaving up... Full review

I was expecting a Wesley Snipes action film, and what I got was a Wesley Snipes ACTING film. This film is one of the best among a small cadre of films that actually takes on the gun lobby directly. Joe... Full review

First, I'm a poor man's film critic. I like most of the movies I've seen, whether they deserve it or not. Except Leonard Part 6 (don't ask).I liked this movie, not because of its actors (who did better than I... Full review

Finally we get to see Wes in a drama again. He has great potential as dramatic actor, just check out "The Waterdance" (1992), but he has restricted himself into the action genre. Nothing wrong with that, I think a lot... Full review

**********Spoiler Warning*************I'll never look at Wesley Snipes or Linda Fiorentino the same way again. This is little more than some of the same liberal garbage we get from Hollywood, and it's no surprise it didn't get a wide theatrical release... Full review

Not in "Liberty Stands Still"; a taught drama in which Liberty (Fiorentino) is a powerful, well connected corporate type who is held hostage in public by a sniper (Snipes) secreted in a building and armed with a sniper rifle, a remote... Full review

Amazingly idiotic anti second amendment drivel.A murderous thug kills innocent people to start debate about the second amendment!?! Uh huh...The movie tries to portray Snipes as the bereaved father of a murdered child, but he's actually a sadistic psychotic killer... Full review

The sentiment that box office return is what makes a successful film. ... Full Review

Liberty Stands Still is a well-acted intelligent and taunt suspense drama with well-developed characters that gives the audience a real sense of what both leads are thinking, where they're coming from, and where, ultimately, they're heading. It's a bit hard viewing Liberty Stands Still in the wake of the recent sniper shootings that terrorized the D.C. area, though thankfully, they seem to have come to a conclusion with the recent arrest of several suspects. ...

As the unfortunately named Liberty -- a gun manufacturer's wife being held hostage by an unseen sniper (Snipes) -- Fiorentino spends most of her time chained to a bomb-rigged hot-dog cart. ... Full Article
