7/10I'm a big fan of Ben Wheatley. And while it's debatable that _Free_ _Fire_ is his best film, it's certainly his most fun. _Final rating:★★★½ - I strongly recommend you make the time._

One of those films that becomes difficult in giving a fair judgement. On one hand, it is very engaging when the action is on. On the other hand, there are questions that arise when it is not.
