Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

mckw93 Free Fire begins well, introducing the characters with an increasing excitement on what is about to unfold. The film then flips a switch with really superficial conflicts between the characters. As the shootout occurs, the characters start to feel paper thin, with little wit or charm. The "free fire" felt like a painfully slow crawl, begging to just end, occasionally feeling mindless. I do not think this film is bad, just very average, at times languid and boring. It's a shame as I felt the film wasted it's great cast. Echoing the review "Like Res Dogs but worse", Free Fire is simply devoid of the charm Reservoir Dogs has.

Coventry 2018 is barely a week old, but I'm afraid I already stumbled upon the biggest disappointment of the year! Words literally fail to describe how incredibly dire and incompetent "Free Fire" is. Seriously, how is it possible that a film can superficially look so cool but then turn out to be so unbelievable irritable? In fact, the question "how is it possible" will form the red wire across this entire user comment. How is it possible that people are still imitating the success aspects of "Reservoir Dogs" and "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" after more than twenty years? If there's one thing these movies have proven, it is that the combination of graphic violence and witty one-liners is rather unique and almost inimitable. Hundreds of rip-offs were unleashed, especially between 2000-2010, but none of them were truly worthwhile. Just when you think that nowadays aspiring directors are clever enough not to do so anymore, Ben Wheatley comes up with the most embarrassing rip-off of them all. How is it possible that I still have faith in Wheatley, anyway? Critics often label him as a multi-talented director, but this is the third letdown in a row after "High-Rise" and "Sightseers". I still want to see "Kill List", but if that's another disappointment, I'll never watch another Ben Wheatley film ever again. How is it possible that a film, which doesn't even have an actual script, is still so badly written? Simply put, "Free Fire" is set in 1978 and handles about an illegal weapon deal in an abandoned Boston warehouse between nervous IRA members and the gang of the sleazy and completely unreliable smuggler Vern. For the most banal reason imaginable, the already agitated situation goes awry and they all start shooting each other. How is it possible that anyone is still standing up after five minutes? Every single character gets shot, sometimes even in the head, but they all cheerfully continue reloading their arms and shouting idiotic stuff at each other. How is it possible that all these talented cast members got lured into this? "Free Fire" stars Cillian Murphy ("28 Days Later"), Sim Riley ("Control"), Brie Larson ("Room") and Armie Hammer ("The Lone Ranger"), but they don't immediately seem to realize they're stuck in the worst project of their careers. And then the most vital question of them all: how is it possible that a film that features constant gunfire and bullet-showers is so damn boring! Despite all the Mexican stand-offs, the enormous body count and the sly dialogs, "Free Fire" is BORING beyond belief. The only reason why I'm giving this a generous rating 2 out of ten, instead of the miserable rating 1 it really deserves, is because I was rejoiced to hear a couple of long-forgotten John Denver classics on the soundtrack.

Asif Kazi This is the idiotic version of the Reservoir Dogs Movie , An arms deal gone sore on the folly of an asshole out of control and a sissy guy. Overall there is tangible entertainment for those who like gunshot movies but there is no compact story line here in the end movie turnout to be total disaster where no one escapes with money only regret at the end is the price of the enterprise go and watch the movie if nothing else you have for the weekend!

Aargh_The_Awful I couldn't care about any of the characters. Little plot or story line. Complete waste of time. One of the worst films I've ever seen. Absurdly bad. You couldn't pay me to watch it again!
