Well, this was a lot of fun. A unemployed young man in 80's Australia in a dead end existence decides to steal a flash Porsche and go on the run with a teenage mother, whose baby was taken away by the state. What follows is a road movie in all but name, as they try and steal the bairn back, evade the cops, run people off the highway and generally sow car-related chaos wherever they go.
A love a good shaggy dog story, and despite having little clear direction in exactly what it wants to say, Freedom certainly fits the bill for a thoroughly entertaining slice of random motorised hi-jinx. Our rebellious protagonist isn't exactly the most likeable guy around, but with the way everyone around him treats the poor sucker, you can certainly see why he 'flips out' the way he does.
And when he does, everyone around him better watch out, cos things get very messy indeed... 7/10
