A tense crime thriller set in 1978 Boston, Free Fire centers on a dubious arms deal that descends into a chaotic, long-range shootout in a desolate warehouse. Ambition and loyalties collide as rival criminals and gunmen improvise, misjudge, and backstab under flickering lights. Ben Wheatley crafts a lean, darkly comic tempo while the claustrophobic conflict erupts into a web of blame, deception, and explosive consequences. Characters deliver sharp banter amid bursts of gunfire, giving the film a stage-play vibe that heightens the violence with dry humor.
