As the heir and current marketing director for one of the nation's biggest gun manufacturers, Liberty Wallace (Linda Fiorentino) is indifferent to the atrocities made possible through her business and her CEO husband, Victor (Oliver Platt). On her way to see her actor lover, Liberty ends up chained to a food cart full of explosives -- all at the insistence of "Joe" (Wesley Snipes), a sniper whose young daughter was a victim of gun violence, and who now has Liberty in his sights.

Liberty Stands Still | Rotten Tomatoes (1) John Leonard New York Magazine/Vulture Redeemed by the always mesmerizing Fiorentino. Feb 1, 2018 Full Review Liberty Stands Still | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Jul 21, 2005 Full Review Liberty Stands Still | Rotten Tomatoes (3) David Nusair Reel Film Reviews Writer/director Kari Skogland clearly has an agenda - the film is vehemently anti-gun - resulting in incredibly obvious and preachy instances of dialogue and a ham-fisted approach to the storyline. Rated: 1.5/4 Apr 13, 2003 Full Review Liberty Stands Still | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Derek Smith Apollo Guide Rated: 60/100 Mar 25, 2003 Full Review Liberty Stands Still | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Brent Simon Entertainment Today A ripe-on-the-vine concept married to strident execution. There's thought here, but Liberty is marred by vague, freshman directorial touches. Rated: C- Nov 11, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews

Horror fan 4 Some compare this to phone booth and I can see that. This was a very good movie but phone booth was better. Tim Treakle Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/07/24 Full Review adam b The film is a bit hokey but I really enjoyed the tension in this film. The ending was.... okay but it still had a satisfactory ending Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Wesley Snipes does a decent job and Linda Florentino does a very good job as his target. Worth the hour and a half. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Terrible "suspense" movie that was nothing but mind numbing lame plot twists. Lacking in any real qualities, a real hack work of putting nonsensical exciting scenes one after the other, more of a pointless blur of action than real suspense, constant nonsensical changes in direction to give the illusion of a complex plot. This film represents the laziest, worst parts of action/suspense. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Contrived nonsense with a so-called plot that is a mere pretext for pushing a political agenda. Poorly acted, poorly directed, and offensive to the intelligence. wher do I get these 90 minutes of my life back??? UGH! Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Dragged out, boring Leftist propaganda - don't waste your time. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
