Critics Consensus

Free Fire aims squarely for genre thrills, and hits its target repeatedly and with great gusto -- albeit with something less than pure cinematic grace.

Manuela Lazic

Little White Lies

Wheatley allows his notorious black humour to resurface, and with 90 minutes of mindless shootouts, he reaches his goal.

Free Fire is a bloody fun time once it gets its footing and takes aim.

Slashfilm

The third-act shootout is a staple of a certain kind of film, but in Ben Wheatley's Free Fire it's essentially the entire movie. Against all odds, it works.

Rated: 8/10

Every Movie Has a Lesson

“Free Fire” is one such film daring to blast anything and everything with ammunition encased with twisted zeal.

Rated: 3/5

When the smoke clears, Free Fire is an intriguing visual Senior thesis.

Deep Focus Review

Cartoonish and pulpy in the best ways, Free Fire is neither original nor an instant classic, but it's made with skill and talented performers to support the simplicity of the basic scenario.

Rated: 3/4

Started out good, with good actors. Just became a ridiculous shoot out fest with no real direction or point. Just shooting shooting shooting. Literally no point to the movie other than shooting.

I DAMN LOVE THIS MOVIE. It's genius how Ben Weatley manages to make the action last 1 hour and a half. A great director who also directed other films like Kill List for example. The acting is moderate, the dark humor made me laugh a lot, the action changes at some points so as not to bore the viewer and I feel that Sharlto Copley and Armie Hammer are incredible in this film. Highly recommended

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Underrated, nasty little movie. Almost like a play with constant gunfire. Brie Larson is severely underutilized in this. Her character wasn't developed nearly enough.

Terrible film, all those brilliant actors and they come up with that absolute nonsense. I hope this can save someone else from wasting an hour and a half of their life.
