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. Read full review

Far more than his previous films, which tend to unfold in a dream-like daze, Free Fire is a mad contraption, bristling with bravado and black, sardonic wit. Read full review

Free Fire is a savagely funny and viciously precise distillation of one of the pair’s favorite themes: Men are idiots. Read full review

Ben Wheatley's film reduces the modus operandi of the action movie down to its starkest elements. Read full review

Armie Hammer slyly steals the show as Ord, a very chill American arms dealer. Read full review

Free Fire falls short as a moral lesson or satiric statement, shorter still as a “Shoot’em Up” style ballet of bullets. Read full review

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. Read full review

I may have just found my new guilty pleasure with this film! I went in expecting a fun time, but man! I was not prepared for just how wild and fun this film got, or even how funny it got as well! I'm not even joking! This film was hilarious! This is one action film that I found funnier thanI may have just found my new guilty pleasure with this film! I went in expecting a fun time, but man! I was not prepared for just how wild and fun this film got, or even how funny it got as well! I'm not even joking! This film was hilarious! This is one action film that I found funnier than any comedy I've seen in recent memory! The whole cast also made this a blast to watch, with the likes of Sharlto Copley, Armie Hammer, Brie Larson, Cillian Murphy, etc. each having their own great and fun moments in the film! The first half hour is all setup, with the last hour being a nonstop shootout in the vein of Tarantino, with hilarious quips-a-plenty from the characters throughout! Overall, this was without a doubt the funnest time I've had at the theater in recent memory, and I honestly believe that this film is destined to become quite the guilty pleasure of mine! Seriously though! I honestly can't wait to watch this again and again when it comes out on Blu-Ray!… Expand

Fantastic homage to 70s era bullet operas. Funny, sharp dialogue leavens all the gun play, and the soundtrack - Real Kids, John Denver - sets the mood in this combination shoot 'em up and dark-black comedy. Sharlto Copley as Vern is worth the price of admission.

I have seen this plot done much better in Reservoir Dogs by Quentin Tarantino, but the heart of this movie lies in its terrific shootouts and surprisingly witty comedy!

Esta película que no trata de videojuegos, retracta tal cual a los equipos de cualquier juego online, y me gusto.

I like the simplicity and the quick humor. There is a 15 min period in the middle where things get stale but the last half hour makes Free Fire great again

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 actionFree 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)… Expand
