Freelance

About This Movie

Freelance (1970) has this gritty, almost raw feel to it. Megahy crafts a tense atmosphere that perfectly encapsulates the seedy underbelly of urban life. The pacing is deliberate but builds up nicely, making you feel the weight of every decision the characters make. The themes revolve around survival and moral ambiguity, which I think adds depth to the crime and thriller elements. The performances are solid—especially the lead, who brings a street-smart edge that's really compelling. And while it’s not heavy on effects, the practical choices keep the film grounded in reality, which I appreciate. It’s a unique piece that captures a moment in time, both in filmmaking and the cultural landscape of the era.
