FREE FIRE (2016) Red Band Movie Trailer: Ben Wheatley’s Arms Deal Gone Wrong Film

Brie Larson Free Fire

Free Fire Red Band Trailer

Ben Wheatley‘s Free Fire (2016) red band movie trailer stars Enzo Cilenti, Sam Riley, Michael Smiley, Brie Larson, and Cillian Murphy. Free Fire‘s plot synopsis: “Bold, breathless and wickedly fun, Free Fire is an electrifying comedy-thriller about an arms deal that goes spectacularly and explosively wrong. Acclaimed filmmaker Ben Wheatley (Kill List, High Rise) propels the audience head-on into quite possibly the most epic shootout ever seen on film as he crafts a spectacular parody –– and biting critique –– of the insanity of gun violence. Everyone’s got a gun, and absolutely no one is in control.

Set in a colorful yet gritty 1970s Boston, Free Fire opens with Justine (Oscar® winner Brie Larson), a mysterious American businesswoman, and her wise-cracking associate Ord (Armie Hammer) arranging a black-market weapons deal in a deserted warehouse between IRA arms buyer Chris (Cillian Murphy) and shifty South African gun runner Vernon (Sharlto Copley). What starts as a polite if uneasy exchange soon goes south when tensions escalate and shots are fired, quickly leading to a full-on Battle Royale where it’s every man (and woman) for themselves.”

When I first heard about this film, I thought it would be a hard-core action film. I had no idea that it was in fact a comedy-thriller (and it shows). I smiled a few times as this trailer played but I did not laugh. That is not the script’s fault. It’s mine. I thought I would be watching something else, though action film one-liners are in place.

Free Fire also stars Armie Hammer, Sharlto Copley, Babou Ceesay, Noah Taylor, Jack Reynor, Mark Monero, Patrick Bergin, and Tom Davis.
