Freeze Frame 2004  R, 100 min.
Genre: Thriller
Director: John Simpson
Cast: Lee Evans, Rachael Stirling, Colin Salmon, Sean McGinley, Ian McNeice, Rachel O'Riordan
Sean (Lee Evans) is as paranoid as they come, and after he was accused–but acquitted–of a gruesome murder, the press portrayed him in an unfavorable light. He begins videotaping himself around the clock in case he is accused again. When a book is published about the murder, the case against him is reopened. But a part of his video library that would prove him innocent is missing. Low budget, but a good premise with fair execution.
