Free Fire works exceedingly well on paper yet underwhelms in its execution, dwindling it to nothing more than an intriguing concept. Ben Wheatley's tongue-in-cheek gangster flick can be dissected into two arcs--the well crafted suspenseful buildup and the elongated weightless action scene (singular) that goes nowhere. Take away all the quips and Free Fire is merely a hollow spectacle that you'll soon forget in T-minus 1-day.
