If you’ve always believed that the climactic Mexican standoff in "Reservoir Dogs" should have been the whole movie, then you’ll love Free Fire.
Loud, ripe, violent, bloody and blackly funny, Free Fire cocks its gun right in your face. See it – and bring earplugs.

This is one of the most unexpectedly brilliant films I've seen in a very long time. Its low budget, set in one location, but don't let that put you off, the characterisation and interplay is just awesome and the small location just adds to the drama, I wont give the plot away as that would spoil it (not that there's much of a plot), but it is very well thought out and hilarious in places. The best dark comedy film I've ever seen.

Free Fire may suggest Wheatley is deservedly moving up the industry food chain – it's executive-produced by Martin Scorsese – but it also merely a formal exercise, albeit one buoyed by the sense that the director is having the time of his life behind the camera.
Ben Wheatley's film reduces the modus operandi of the action movie down to its starkest elements.
Free Fire frequently becomes a messy blur of ricochets and one-liners. Fortunately, the cast is appealing enough -- and the characters interesting enough -- to use those one-liners to maximum effect, thus holding things together reasonably well.
Wheatley's riotous Looney Tunes action comedy is a sporadically amusing assault on the senses, but it looks like it was more fun to make than to watch.
The film is a criminal waste of an ensemble cast that should have found something better to do than lend their names to such a pointless exercise. Free Fire is a misfire.
At first I was worried that this would be a knock off of Tarantino movies but within a short time I was having one of the best movie experiences in a long time. All the actors are excellent and the writing is hilarious. I don't want to spoil anything for those who have not seen this movie but I had no idea what to expect and was blown away with what this movie turned out to be. I can't wait to watch it again and again. Absolutely loved this movie and the performances by all!

Free Fire is not a bad chamber action movie. Everything is done at the middle level, starting from the cast, ending with camera work. And it seems that you will forget the film in a couple of days, so simple and trivial, but it is brought in the trailer as a magnificent Hollywood action movie from Scorsese. Well, it's ridiculous)

Free Fire tries to make its attempt to outshine what it wants to be. Unfortunately for that, the movie fails quickly before any attempt is made. Free Fire is probably an average feature within little or no amazing saving features about it.

I wasn't out to hate this movie. Ever since Brie Larson(the one women in the movie. Maybe Wheatley has something to say?) hosted SNL I've been a big fan of her. So giving her the chance to shoot a gun for the first time(that I know of) in what according to the not so subtle marketing is her movie, seemed like enough for me to see what looked like a blatant Tarantino knock off. But now I think I should wait for these "likable actress justifies seeing it movies" till their Video on Demand.
