À propos de ce film

Set in a colorful yet gritty 1970s Boston, Free Fire opens with Justine (Oscar® winner Brie Larson), a mysterious American businesswoman, and her wise-cracking associate Ord (Armie Hammer) arranging a black-market weapons deal in a deserted warehouse between IRA arms buyer Chris (Cillian Murphy) and shifty South African gun runner Vernon (Sharlto Copley). What starts as a polite if uneasy exchange soon goes south when tensions escalate and shots are fired, quickly leading to a full-on Battle Royale where it’s every man (and woman) for themselves.

Notes et avis

This could of have been better. It felt like a movie made in the 90's, back when gangster films were all competing in the cinema with witty dialogue, crazy characters and and loads of style. Except this film had very little. It starts off with an attempt at a Lock Stock vibe and quickly descends into mediocrity. Ending with little to say or show for it.

It did lull here and there, but for a movie with little to no character development it surely managed to keep me watching until the end. The scenes of actual action were well shot but for a movie trapped inside of one tense warehouse building, there's little room for any narrative or backstory. So literally all you get here is a lot of gunshots and some witty banter. Brie Larson is always amazing in anything she does though. This just wasn't a great vehicle for her talent unfortunately.

Boring as hell there's really no story you kinda wish all the character's get killed because they are not like able and it's just firing guns for an hour and 30 mins this is a big wast of time one this years worst movies.
