Leave your thoughts about Free Fire.
| San Diego CityBeatGlenn Heath Jr.Free Fire is a rote slog that trivializes raging gunplay and murder for a few darkly comic laughs. |
| Little White LiesManuela LazicWheatley allows his notorious black humour to resurface, and with 90 minutes of mindless shootouts, he reaches his goal. |
| The ARTeryTom MeekWheatley has always had a nose for unsavory sorts. And with his embarrassment of riches in "Free Fire," we all get to cash in. |
| Film ThreatBill ArceneauxA violent romp, a mishmash of tropes and personalities, an example of what can be done when a director sits back and focuses more on the aftermath of an inciting incident than worrying about chapters or resolutions. |
| Birth.Movies.Death.Michael GingoldIt's all about the farcical side of flesh wounds. |
| We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoFree Fire is a relentless genre assault of bullets, laughs and personality, like an pseudo action movie that cranks intensity to 11 and rips off the knob. |
| The Film StageJared MobarakA surefire cult classic in the making, its unhinged carnage proves a memorable delight. It may not be original, but it’s an adrenaline shot I sorely craved. |
| indieWireEric KohnWheatley’s commitment to crowdpleasing antics makes it difficult to stop and consider the lack of depth. In a universe of shootout clichés, Free Fire manages to carve out its own niche, where the proverbial last man standing matters less than the journey to get him there. |
| FlavorwireJason BaileyIt's basically an excuse for director Wheatley to execute an hour-long shoot-out. He mostly does, but you'll have to decide for yourself if that's something you want to spend 90 minutes watching. |
| Georgia StraightAdrian MackAs a reductio ad absurdum picture of gun violence, it might have even less of a soul than Reservoir Dogs, and yet Free Fire feels wonderfully, gleefully alive. |
