Review of Free Guy (2021) by Drlowdon — 21 Oct 2021
A bank teller, named Guy, discovers that he is a background character in a video game and has to become a hero if he is to save his world from being permanently deleted. Ryan Reynolds brings his usual charm to the lead role, and the time spent in the fictional video game is good fun with countless jokes and Easter eggs for gamers to spot. The second half of the movie does however become a little too bogged down in the 'real' world storyline of stolen codes and contract breaches, even if the final scene does somewhat pay it off.
It's far from perfect, but it's arguably the best video game movie ever made and gamers in particular will most likely enjoy what they see.
