Free Guy movie review - Aussieboyreviews
IS FREE GUY JUST AS ACTION-PACKED AND FUNNY AS IT APPEARS?
This awesome action-comedy starring Ryan Reynolds is definitely as hilarious and loaded with action as posters and previews suggest. It’s a great film for teens, but contains language and some violence.
Storyline
When a bank teller uncovers the truth that he’s actually a background NPC in an open-world video game, he decides to rewrite and become the hero of his own story.

Aussie boy's thoughts
Shawn Levy’s action-comedy allows us to receive the wackiest and wittiest character personalties we’ll possibly ever see from Ryan Reynolds and Taika Waititi. On the other hand approaches the great video game-related theme, another well-generated idea alongside the brilliant cast, highlighting the main components to designing a loveable flick worth viewing in the cinema.
Free Guy uses an enthusiastic pace towards introducing the blue-shirt Guy and setting us in a city of nonstop action-packed crime. There are bright and visually-catchy sequences involving explosions, guns and video game-styled action, either in the background or packed up at the front of the camera. Overall, the quirkiness is simply unforgettable.
Audiences will also appreciate the constantly hilarious references, excellent songs and fun-running plot. But before the execution of a story is the writing. The writing for Free Guy occasionally caused areas of the film’s quirky action to become noticeably bland. Teens will adore the popcorn-worthy experience and the surprisingly creative originality, but it involves its very messy and overly disastrous moments.
