Bold, breathless and wickedly fun, Free Fire is an electrifying action comedy about an arms deal that goes spectacularly and explosively wrong. Acclaimed filmmaker Ben Wheatley (Kill List, High Rise) propels the audience head-on into quite possibly the most epic shootout ever seen on film as he crafts a spectacular parody – and biting critique – of the insanity of gun violence. Everyone's got a gun, and absolutely no one is in control.
Set in a colourful yet gritty 1970s Boston, Free Fire opens with Justine (Oscar® winner Brie Larson), a mysterious American businesswoman, and her wisecracking associate Ord (Armie Hammer)
Critic Reviews
" violent romp, a mishmash of tropes and personalities, an example of
what can be done when a director sits back and focuses more on the aftermath of
an inciting incident than worrying about chapters or resolutions."
– Film Threat
“For those who don't mind a little blood & gore and a lot of
profanity, Free Fire is a superior alternative to the big-name, bloated action
films hogging the largest screens in most multiplexes.”
– ReelViews
“If its clip gets emptied before the characters' ammunition runs out,
the film still hits its target dead-center.”
– Rolling Stone
