News About "Free Fire"
Free Fire is an explosive paradox of violence and comedy. With profanities flying as fast as the bullets, it's unlikely audiences will will notice the script's more subtle messages about the irony of trying to control weapons violence with weapons. Certainly not a family-friendly title, this story of an illegal arms deal gone wrong features a shoot out in a factory, where killing is treated casually, and the resulting blood and injury are depicted in detail.
Parents should be aware that the trailer for this film is red-banded, meaning it contains content that is inappropriate for anyone under 18. (Some older folks might find its foul language and pervasive gun-use objectionable too. )
Coincidentally, this movie starring Brie Larson, releases to home video (July 18, 2017) the same day as another of her films, Kong: Skull Island. If you like the actress, you may prefer the later title where she goes ape after encountering what's reported to be the world's largest guerrilla.
