A Brilliant Conflict

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Nothing but bang bang, bang, bang for 90 minutes for absolutely no reason. Guns that never emptied, shots missed at point blank range and people still crawling round shot up like a cullender. A shoot-up can be worth watching, but not this one.

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.

Brilliant casting for a wild, violent but hilarious movie.It like a Quentin Tarantino, Guy Ritchie mash up. I love how the characters come together and how the tension builds up to the crazy free for all.Absolutely love Sharlto Copley and Armie Hammer characters here. Funny and witty. So well delivered.

Wheatley continues to underperform with this tedious piece of juvenilia. It's bereft of the insidious tension that made Kill List so gripping and sorely lacks the heart, humour and offbeat charm of Sightseers. All Free Fire has is an adolescent script and a slew of utterly hollow characters in 70s fancy dress. As other reviewers have commented - you wish they'd just hurry up and kill each other.
