Liberty Stands Still is a 2002 Canadian-German crime thriller drama film starring Wesley Snipes and Linda Fiorentino.
Liberty Wallace (Linda Fiorentino) is the Vice President of Marketing for McCloud Industries, one of the largest gun manufacturers in the United States.
While Victor trafficks in international armaments, Liberty takes a break to have a romantic affair with Russell Williams (Martin Cummins), an actor.
The balance of their marriage of convenience shifts when a sniper, Joe (Wesley Snipes), targets Liberty in a busy Los Angeles park on the way to her affair.
Joe calls Liberty on her cell phone, ordering her to shackle herself to a nearby vendor’s hot dog cart.
Alex then tells Liberty that it is all up to her now before informing her that a key to her shackles is hidden in a box, underneath the hot dog cart.
The film has received mostly negative reviews; critics praised Snipes and Fiorentino's performances, but panned the overall premise.
(although the latter was delayed due to the DC Sniper)[1] On Rotten Tomatoes it has an approval rating of 20% based on reviews from 5 critics.
