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

Funny and probably on the more realistic side of movie shootouts. Somehow a great storyline created out of very limited space and time.

A simple enough plot; gun deal gone wrong, double cross gone sideways. Great performances by some outstanding character actors. Excellent period detail and some gnarly set design make for a memorable auteur piece from Ben Wheatley.

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.
