Don't get confused.
Free Guy isn't a video game. It's a movie about a video game and it's involvement with reality.
PLOT
An NPC (Non Playable Character) evolves beyond being non-playable to actually becoming the hero of his city. He develops feelings, emotions and changes the path of all those who come his way. On another end, we have two friends who want to take down the guy who stole their game idea.
When both goals meet, every party involved must take a stand to fight together for what each wants.
That's enough.
I'm tempted to keep going.
MOVIE PROPER
The whole movie—which ran for almost two hours—had me invested from the first scene until the very last cast.
Not every movie can do that to me, but this did.
Reynolds displayed an entirely different side of him. Well, not entirely different, but he was so invested in this acting that he switch from comedy to serious to goofy to boyish and emotional all in a blink—he was AI afterall—and it was all too much for me to handle.
When we needed a joke, he provided one that had me rolling. When it was time to share bubble gum icecream, he had me wishing for someone to have an icecream with.
That was how amazing he was.
If you saw Killing Eve then you know Comer can be strange. I have to say it took a while for me to believe that the psychotic killer was actually this lovey-eyed gamer and product designer who fell for her AI and allowed him lock lips.
She nailed her role as Millie and I could feel the longing to come out of the shadow and be seen.
Thank God she realised who truly loved her.
"I'm but a love letter written to you."
Awww
It's no wonder the movie did so well: over $300 million in box office. Nice work guys.
Look out for voices of the Rock and High Jackman. And also Cap. Yes, Cap.
What I loved most about the movie was the underlying message it held.
Ready?
Don't ever think you don't have a purpose. No matter what everyone around you says, you matter. You're important. You count. And you can make a difference.
MY TOP 5 MOMENTS
1. The first time the train got him.
2. The kiss at the icecream truck.
3. When Buddy got deleted.
4. The Captain America's shield.
5. When all the NPCs came together.
I do hope my moments didn't spoil it for you.
If it did, yikes, so sorry. But at least you have something to look forward to.
Rating: A solid 9/10
True story. My nephew just asked me of this movie now 🤣
ReplyDeleteThe movie was pretty worth the wait. Awesome cast. Dialogue was top notch (it's like my tongue had a baby with the Sun 🤣🤣🤣).
The movie is Dick Truman meets Ready Player One with the Deadpool mouth
