Movie Review: FREE FIRE


Going into this film, I honestly didn't know what to expect.  Many of my friends have been highly anticipating this film, with equally high expectations.  However, some of them who have seen the film were slightly disappointed.  They weren't saying it was a bad film, just that it didn't meet their, as I said, high expectations.  And if I'm being completely honest, I have to agree.  Free Fire is an enjoyable film, but it's not one that I'll be raving about for weeks to come.  It may be the ultimate deal-gone-wrong film, but unfortunately, it also came very close to being a film-gone-wrong.
