Free Fire

I'm a big fan of Ben Wheatley. And while it's debatable that _Free_ _Fire_ is his best film, it's certainly his most fun. _Final rating:★★★½ - I strongly recommend you make the time._

**The night of bullet business!** This is one of the surprise films of the year. A limited cast and a one day event film. Except the opening few minutes the remaining film was a crossfire event. It's about two groups caught up in a firing from each other from one mistake to another leading the confrontation. In an abandoned warehouse, with a big amount and the cases new weapons lying in the centre, there's no way in or the out. The only way is to fight them all. So the surviving game begins.

84/100 A weapons deal devolves into a gun fight that doesn't stop ...and that's it! My goodness, this was so much fun! You'd think that a hour long gun fight would be redundant and get rather boring. But, in this case, the extremely colorful characters were just quirky enough, with a delightfully sharp wit, you were rooting for all of them despite there being no good guys. Although their ammo seemed unlimited, the choreography of this chaos was logical, exciting, and played out fabulously. And, they tend to hit what they were aiming at. Awesome escapist entertainment! -- [DrNostromo.com](http://DrNostromo.com)
