Free Fire
Director: Ben Wheatley
Actors: Sharlto Copley, Brie Larson, Armie Hammer
PlotIn the late 1970s, a deserted warehouse in Boston becomes the setting for a high-stakes arms deal between two gangs. The deal is orchestrated by intermediaries determined to broker peace and facilitate the transaction involving a large cache of weapons. As tensions rise and mutual distrust simmers, the meeting quickly dissolves into chaos when a personal vendetta triggers a misunderstanding. Gunfire erupts, and the characters find themselves in an all-out shootout, each side trying desperately to gain the upper hand.
As bullets fly and alliances shift, the warehouse becomes a brutal battleground where survival trumps loyalty. With double-crosses and shifting motives, what started as a professional transaction spirals into a deadly game of cat and mouse. The characters must navigate through a maze of concrete pillars and rubble, using whatever cover they can find while strategizing their next move. Amidst the cacophony of gunfire and desperation, only the most cunning and resourceful participants stand a chance of making it out alive.
