Perfect cast and a good story
Memorable, crazy movie
The movie's only flaw is also a virtue: It's jammed with characters, stories, warmth and laughs.
Blistering performances.
Simple, isolated and impressive Wheatley's 'Free Fire' is a joy to watch. More clear cut than other works such as 'Kill List' this action romp is surprisingly funny and very accessible as a viewer. With distinct and extremely detailed characters the film is impressive and entirely worth your time
Nothing but bang bang, bang, bang for 90 minutes for absolutely no reason. Guns that never emptied, shots missed at point blank range and people still crawling round shot up like a cullender. A shoot-up can be worth watching, but not this one.
Various people arrive in a deserted warehouse to do an illegal gun deal. Shots are fired. This is essentially an extended shoot them up action play in a single room. The problem starts with a lack character exposition. This is important because it's hard to tell who is on which side. Once the shooting starts, it's hard to tell the geography or the teams. It's a lot of shots in the legs. It would be compelling if I cared about any of the characters. It may be more compelling to do this rooting for one side. I don't even care if either side wins, loses, or dies. That's a hard way to watch a shoot them up.
For a movie that is basically an hour and a half of people shooting at each other, it is really boring and dull. This movie is like playing a shooting game with your friends and realizing halfway through the game that you and your friends are really bad at video games.The movie had a simple idea and a good cast but unfortunately the writing shot it down.
