There is a point in the movie, which is also shown in the trailer, where Armie Hammer yells over some initial gun fire "NOW WE'RE COOKIN'!!" and that sums up this movie. Free Fire was a fantastic display of skill in how to utilize a small space to it's utmost value. It also boasted some great performances and a really awesome premise.
Free Fire is about a gun deal that goes wrong due to a bunch of different personalities not trusting one another. That is really all the premise is, and as the first shots go of an everyone gets shot in one way or another, the movie just kicks into high gear and hilarity as you see everyone crawling around and screaming which is way way funnier than it sounds.
I really want to stress the use of space in this film because I am a big fan of claustrophobic filming. The one thing I always go back to is the episode of Seinfeld where the group is waiting to sit down at the Chinese restaurant and the entire episode takes place in the waiting lobby. It really is a testament to the film makers to be able to use a small amount of space to tell a really great story. Free Fire takes place completely inside of a warehouse with just a few minutes taking place outside and on the second floor. It made the movie so exciting because again, and it isn't a spoiler, but everyone gets shot in some way or another so most of the movie is at ground level of the characters hiding behind pillars or crawling around in the dirt.
I thought it was hilarious that so many of the people had these small guns and someone would get shot in the leg or arm and just get angry and fire back. It played a lot like a paint ball match and these characters all had different personalities and it was so cool to see them all interact.
Free Fire is a fantastic movie to go see with anyone who is a fan of comedy or guns or Brie Larson. I highly recommend this one also as it is an A24 studio movie and in my opinion they always make creative movies and this one is no exception.
