Free Fire is a movie you will either love or hate. How exciting can two handfuls of people be in a warehouse with guns and different motives? You know people are going to get shot: some will die and some will live. There isn’t tension beyond the obvious and the pacing is steady. While the ending is sort of predictable, there is enough quality acting and interesting dialogue to keep you entertained. The acting from every cast member was good. You get used to the yelling and the rapid gunfire. You want to know who survives and who dies. I’m not going to spoil the ending, but don’t blink too much or you will miss who gets shot and where on the body. This movie was a nice diversion from the rapid fire Marvel and DC movies being spit out from the studios. I watched The Great Wall around the same time, and the fact I’m recommending this and not the former says a lot.
