Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Land Of The Free casts martial arts actor Jeff Speakman as the campaign manager for charismatic candidate William Shatner. Speakman who is a Navy
veteran and Annapolis graduate has to be the dumbest graduate of that institution. He has no idea that William Shatner whom he looks on as a father
figure is fronting for these rightwing paramilitary groups who are looking to
have him front for their takeover of the country. Sounds a bit familiar doesn't
it. If he has more polish than a Trump, Shatner sure lives like one.Anyway the FBI approaches Speakman who reluctantly becomes a mole and he
gets indictable material on Shatner. But now Shatner and his group of right
wing crazies are out for him and maybe his wife Lisa Darr and son if they get
in the way.A lot of martial arts and car chases. Speakman and family hijack an empty
school bus and reek plenty of havoc on a California freeway. And nary a cop
in sight. Where was CHiPs?Shatner really hams it up in his performance as our would be dictator. He knows it's a turkey he's in so gobble incessantly.Not his finest hour on the big or small screen.

LAND OF THE FREE is an enjoyable little action flick from those purveyors of mayhem at PM Entertainment. It stars the low rent action star Jeff Speakman, still best known for his earlier film THE PERFECT WEAPON, and he plays the campaign manager for a beloved politician who turns out to be part of a terrorist organisation who plan to bring down the whole country. Speakman discovers the truth and goes on the run, pursued by almost everybody in the film. At one point he abseils off a roof tied to a fire hose in a hilarious stunt sequence blatantly copied from DIE HARD.This cheesy action flick is a must-see for anyone with a love for '90s-era action. Speakman gets to run around a lot and partake in some cool martial arts scene which have surprisingly good choreography and certainly kept me entertained. Plus, there's a plethora of car chases and vehicular stunts in which cars are mangled and fly through the air before exploding, all captured in loving slow motion. One of the cheesiest delights about this movie is the presence of the inimitable William Shatner as the big bad guy, and that final fist-fight between the two stars is worth the price of admission alone.

If you enjoy the sight of cars flying and spinning through the air and exploding upon impact with the ground, then here's the movie for you my friends.Visibly out of shape and sadly, clearly struggling here, Kenpo master, Jeff Speakman, stars in this somewhat mundane action effort as campaign leader for a political hopeful (William Shatner) who subsequently discovers that his boss is in fact secretly financing terrorists for his own ends on the side. Predictably, such knowledge puts our hero and his family in jeopardy however, as various shady characters try to wipe him from the board in order to silence him and suppress the truth that he has uncovered. Yes, it's generic action flick time again, as Speakman is subsequently, relentlessly pursued by seemingly everyone in on this conspiracy (which as it happens is just about every one in the cast!)All this invariably translates as a series of admittedly, very well orchestrated car chase action sequences, during which the cars of Speakman's pursuers have a propensity to fly up into the air at any given moment. Sadly however, such kinetic enjoyment doesn't carry over into the rest of proceedings and it has to be said that the whole film carries a horribly rushed feel to it, taking liberties with huge leaps in logic in order to keep the running time (and presumably also the budget) down. On a more positive note, the performances are generally fine considering the material the actors have to work with and the stunt work is good throughout at least. For Speakman fans however, this is will likely prove a decidedly disappointing effort. If you want to see the action star on peak form, my advice is to check out The Perfect Weapon instead.

Well, nothing original here in terms of plot. Action? Yes, plenty! If there is anything to talk about this film, it's due to the endless action that happens through out the film, whether is be between cars, people, or both. I was highly surprised by how well the stunts were performed and even the fighting sequences. Although my comment is on the good work the stunt people have done for this film, the fact is that ever car winds up being launched in to the air.I was impressed that most cars didn't blow up for just being in an accident - something Hollywood does far too often. The ultimate for me was the school bus car chase, lots of damage. Not only did this bus ram innocent people, it even rolls over a few! The bus scene is worth an extra star.This film ranks well with me for mindless violence. I expected a cheesy movie that I wouldn't be able to watch, but instead, the constant supply of bad guys to kill or cars to destroy makes this actually entertaining to watch.One element I laughed about was the soundtrack. The composer seemed to mismatch happy, sad, action, and serene music with the entire opposite scene.The film truly is shot and directed well, sadly what does this film harm is the lack of believability in the story. The film has constant car accidents, gunfire, and murder, yet no police ever intercept. I'm sure that you can't steal a bus and run 20 cars off the road without getting at least ONE person calling the cops!
