Free Fire Review (2017)

Free Fire

  Directed by Ben Wheatley, Free Fire is an action comedy about an arms deal gone very wrong. It stars the talents of Brie Larson, Cillian Murphy, Armie Hammer, and Jack Reynor who are all fantastic by the way.
  This entire film takes place in a deserted warehouse, similar to Tarantino's first film, Reservoir Dogs. Though not as layered or soulful as that film was, there was a lot I enjoyed in Free Fire.
  The tone was never short of fun, and the dark/British humor was always on point. With a mostly dialogue driven story, we get to know these characters really well under pressure and therefore we can see who they really are at the core.
  If you're looking to be entertained, Free Fire is the film for you. It's pretty self-aware and doesn't take itself too seriously. That said, it does feel at times a bit excessive for excess sake. The language is excessive, the violence is excessive, the characters sometimes seem more like caricatures than real people. If that doesn't bother you, you'll probably be taken with this film's charm.
  Is it super memorable? Not really. But I had a really good experience with Free Fire and would definitely recommend it! 7 out of 10 stars (It Was Good)
