Free Fire (2016)
7/10
Quick wit, gallows humor, and plenty of bullets

Ben Wheatley seems to be a very consistent director. I've seen four examples of his output, and in spite of his films covering a wide range of topics, they tend to come across with about the same "feel". But there is enough variation between them that this isn't a problem.

One thing I will say by way of criticism - in the first 1/3rd of the movie (before the bullets start flying), the screenplay seems to be trying a little too hard in places. It's trying to out-Mamet David Mamet, and some of the dialog feels a bit forced. But once things go to hell, I no longer thought it was a problem.

Well done.
