Freeze Frame

Freeze Frame (2004) is a British crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by John Simpson. Lee Evans plays Sean Veil, a man who has spent years recording his own life around the clock — micro-cameras in every room, footage catalogued in a vast underground archive. His reasoning: if he's ever accused of a crime again, he'll have proof of exactly where he was. The system is airtight. He's sure of it.

Then the police come calling, and the one tape that would clear him of an old murder charge has vanished from the archive. Colin Salmon plays the detective on the case; Rachael Stirling is a journalist whose investigation of Sean starts as a story and becomes something more complicated.

Evans made his name doing physical comedy, which makes him a counterintuitive choice to play a man dismantled by paranoia — and an effective one. There's something genuinely unsettling about watching a rubber-faced performer go cold and frightened. Watch Freeze Frame (2004) online on iFILM.
