Review of Free Guy (2021) by Htgamer — 29 Aug 2021
Free Guy is a movie inspired by the modern online videogames culture, particularly GTA Online. Unlike the similar movie Ready Player One (which was pretty awful IMHO), the plot is quite decent.
Ryan Reynolds is the star of the show, but he delivers his jokes and overall funny attitude as if he was playing the Deadpool character he is very well known for. Other notable members of the cast are Joe Keery (Steve in Stranger Things) and Taika Waititi (director of MCU movies "Thor: Ragnarok" and "Thor: Love and Thunder") in supporting roles.
This movie is a decent summer blockbuster, but nothing memorable. If you are unfamiliar with videogames, you better skip this movie because you will understand none of its concepts and references. If you are a gamer, you can happily watch it and have a laugh or two with Ryan Reynolds.
