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.

if brie larson shot me i'd apologize for getting in the way of her bullets

one step closer to the all-female reservoir dogs reboot we deserve

at one point the stakes are so high and armie hammer just sits on the ground with a cigarette and starts like. roasting everyone in the room. What a mood

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

*mmm whatcha say* the movie

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.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

I made the horrible mistake of seeing this with a Grindr date and halfway through he leans over to me and says "Armie Hammer should stop shooting those guys with his gun and shoot them with his load instead" I want to fucking die.

*someone gets shot*
me: nice
*brie and cillian get shot*
me: STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“he was misdiagnosed as a child genius and never got over it” is a big mood 

also y’all SLEPT on this movie it’s fuckin awesome don’t @ me

This was just fucking nuts. What is there not to like? Senseless gun fight, Armie Hammer trying to hide his 6’5 ass behind a pile of cartons, Brie Larson and Cillian Murphy planning a date in the middle of a literal shootout. 

A witty mess. I really liked it.

Solid

While it's pretty solid and funny the whole way through, I think it fails to stick the landing at the end, but quite a good rewatch

Me, going in to the movie: Wow, a movie built around a 55 minute shoot out? That’s going to be awesome.

Me, 1 hour into the movie: *checks capybara videos on phone*

does anybody know why they were doing this or did they just need a fun weekend activity. they could have gone disco dancing!

what a waste of good actors. oh, and Armie Hammer.

A pretty fun little action comedy. The characters and their interactions is what makes this movie. It got a little old after while but luckily it’s a shorter movie. Solid film.

literally no plot, only a shoot out. oddly enjoyed it.

Really did not have a good time with Free Fire. Too many issues with it to list but first of all I expected way more Brie Larson. It feels like a major Nothing Happens movie even though its main plot is a SHOOTOUT. 

I want the Vern origin story.

very funny
I still don’t like Brie Larson

Been 2 years since I watched Free Fire for the first time. Reading my 2 year old review, everything I said still holds up! Although the performances I think were better than I gave them credit for! 
Was looking for a movie to show my Dad and stumbled upon this on Netflix, he loved it. It was so entertaining laughing at all the shit talking in this film! Worth a watch if you haven’t seen it. Enjoy yourself! Movies are fun, ya’ll.

5/4/21 - Adding a heart after the fact. Have too much fun watching this for me not to give it a heart!
