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

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

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

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.

Best use of Annie’s Song in cinema

This film is part of some sort of buzzare conspiracy to make a film with everybody I like in it.

Good stuff.

(Old impressions, not based on a recent viewing)

The concept is quite gimmicky and as a result I got quite bored towards the end.

I didn't know Brie Larson was in Reservoir Dogs...

So I was finally able to give this one a watch after it spent ages on my radar. To my humble reaction of... That was fun... Just fun...
After hearing about this one's intially premise I was excited to watch it, an action comedy where the entire thing is one bit gunfight. With a competent director & great script this could turn out to be something special.
& don't get me wrong Free Fire does what it wants to do right. But that's one of it's central issues, it only does it right nothing particularly shines at all in this.

I wasn't expecting like a Taratino film but, neverless I was mildly disappointed. Still alright for a rainy day.

and some quotes:

I'm not dead. I'm just regrouping


relax, it didn't even hit an artery. you're fine. you got at least and hour and a half

we can't all be nice girls

and armie hammer had such bde in this movie it was insane

…I think I’m over Ben Wheatley? 

I will never be over Cillian Murphy, tho

- This would make a great TV episode of a crime drama

It's great for what it is, but it's extremely superficial. Don't expect anything groundbreaking or unique going in.

That being said, it's a ton of fun to watch, and I get the feeling it was a ton of fun to make. The actors, while being in character, have a certain nonchalance to them that makes this movie more enjoyable. There isn't really any major purpose to this movie other than to showcase a violent, brutal, occasionally funny firefight between 10 or so people, and it delivers on this. The effects are done well and keep you immersed in the action, and the setting is perfect for what this film is doing. Again, though, nothing spectacular in terms of dialogue or deeper meaning.

Abosutely bonkers, I think this is how most real gun fights would play out, clumsy, dragged out, people just crawling around everywhere hahahah and thank GOD those people were armie hammer and Brie Larson 

“Oh FUCK I think they shot harry in the ASS!”
