The movie “Free Fire” is set in 1970s Boston, and it revolves around an unsuccessful black market gun deal that leads to disastrous results.

In the movie, directed by Ben Wheatley, Brie Larson and Armie Hammer take on the roles of Justine and Ord. Additionally, Sharlto Copley, Babou Ceesay, Jack Reynor, and Noah Taylor portray the characters of the gang involved in dealing.
Across from the gunfight stand Chris (Murphy, an Irishman) and Frank (Smiley, also Irish), accompanied by their associates Stevo (Riley) and Bernie (Cilenti).
In 2017, ‘Free Fire’ premiered in cinemas and can currently be streamed on Channel 4 in the UK. Unfortunately, the film will no longer be available on this platform starting Friday, 25th July, so you have until then to catch it.
In its first release at the box office, the movie only managed to earn $3.8 million globally, falling short of recouping its initial $7 million production cost. Surprisingly, despite being a financial flop, it has garnered a favorable 70% rating from 237 critics on Rotten Tomatoes.
As a passionate gamer, I can’t help but rave about Free Fire – it’s an exhilarating whirlwind of ingenuity and chaos! It’s like hopping onto a rollercoaster of machine gun thrills, buckle up and hold on tight!
According to The Daily Beast, “Free Fire” is both mercilessly violent and unexpectedly funny, oozing dark humor from every pore. Meanwhile, CBR describes it as a daring and witty shootout film, packed with big-name actors, and infused with gallows humor.
According to The Globe and Mail, it’s a largely entertaining, exaggerated tribute to siege films, and at the same time, it could be seen as both admiring and critical towards anything firearm-related.
Free Fire is available to stream on Channel 4 until 25 July.
