Review of Free Guy (2021) by Richardsayre — 30 Sep 2021
FREE GUY is Ryan Reynolds's latest rip-roaring action comedy from Disney, and it's possibly the best video game movie made. The comedy here teeters on its PG-13 rating with wild action sequences, loads of inane violence, and the plot is propulsive and wholehearted from the get go.
With obvious homages to John Carpenter's They Live, FREE GUY also exists as a simultaneous love-letter and giant middle finger to the gaming community. Jodie Comer, Lil Rel Howery, Joe Keery, and Taika Waititi fill out the supporting cast with splendid glee and make the movie a must watch.
A mix of The Lego Movie, The Truman Show, and a dash of The Matrix, FREE GUY is easily one of the best films of 2021.
