Free Guy (2021)
7/10
Put on dark glasses and change yourself

Warning: Spoilers
I must say right away that the trailers did not sell the film to me at all, it seemed like there would be a dull comedy by Reynolds, where he tries to portray Deadpool again. But even the reviews from critics were pretty good, I gave the tape a chance.

The action takes place in the video game Free City. A game in which everything is available to players and nothing will be paid for it. But the main character becomes an npc named Guy (in our translation, the Guy). A simple bank clerk who is robbed 20 times a day, who loves coffee and gum-flavored ice cream. But on one of his standard days, for some reason, he begins to fail and finds his own desires, because he is tired of living the same type of life, in which he cannot even afford fashionable crosses. Moreover, bots understand that there is a certain caste of people who can afford everything, here they wear dark glasses, which gives not only coolness, but also distinguishes the player from the npc.

The film is mostly a comedy rather than an action movie, yes, there are a couple of action scenes, but rather crumpled, and they are not the main idea of the picture. And she is like this, if you are tired of everything, do not be afraid and try to try yourself in something else. This is a pretty powerful idea that goes very well throughout the plot. Reynolds almost doesn't play Deadpool here, and sometimes there are toilet jokes, but on the whole he holds on. Jodie Comer and Joe Keary also play pretty well, there is chemistry between their characters. My only complaint is to Waititi, he plays too cringe-like, plus it's not added by his best voice acting, which only strengthens the cringe. Yes, I understand that the character himself was conceived like this, well, he comes out too caricatured. By the way, Reynolds also does not have the usual Peter Glantz on Voice acting, but in general the new actor is also doing well.
