Review of Freelance

Freelance (2023)
9/10
Surprisingly funny throughout - Best Latin American Dictator Ever!
10 November 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This a surprisingly well-written and well-directed John Cena comedy-action movies with all kinds of insights and roguishly clever surprises. Allison Brie showed me comedy chops I had no idea she had. Anyone who tells you that this is predictable and they knew all the twists and turnarounds ahead of time is lying. Marvelous use of Christian Slater as the head of a Blackwater-type of mercenary contractor. Even the ruthless South African mercenary villain has depth and charisma.

Alice Eve adds more to her character than is written and chemistry between Cena and the daughter is perfect. Everywhere we journey we are surprised by who we meet and their refreshingly different perspectives in life. It's not the destination; it's the journey. Holding grudges is for losers. John Cena's character is the Boy Scout who doesn't really get any of what everyone else is doing or why. And we love him for his cluelessness. Enjoy the wild ride!
