absolute insanity. A real-time pistol opera about how men are too stupid to have guns. it's so surefooted and confident with its comedy that even Sharlto Copley is great in it. SHARLTO FUCKING COPLEY!! so wild and well-configured that it sustains its wisp of a premise for the full 90 minutes, only dipping into a few short lulls between all the mayhem. for a movie so juvenile and over the top there's something strangely reassuring about it... that people are still making movies like this, that other people are still paying them to.

It took me a little while to completely digest Ben Wheatley's Free Fire. I felt something was off. I couldn't figure out what it was. Then, it hit me like a bullet. It's the action. I could replay scene after scene in my head. I knew what was going on. It should be total chaos. That's what I'm used to seeing in crazy action movies. If you have an hour + long gunfight, there should be disorganization. Bullet fly. People die. That's what we are trained to expect. Yes, the bullets fly. Yes, people die. But, it's done in a Ben Wheatley special kind of way. A lot of credit should be given to his script writing partner wife, Amy…

almost as unraveling and incoherent as high rise, only more compressed and much more satisfying. does for guns what mad max fury road did for cars
and A24 + brie larson remain maybe my new favorite cinematic collaboration

An 84 minute shootout without an iota of coherent geography or even the vaguest indication of who's shooting and what and why. Wheatley's a flashy mimic with absolutely no agenda, and it's saying something to call this his most vapid work yet.

A nice quippy opening 20 and then another hour or so of none characters crawling round a warehouse with shit dialogue and with worse aim than a storm trooper. Boring, uninspiring and feels like it was writtr by a teenager. It was nicely shot and edited though.
