Free Guy
Stream
Rent & Buy
A bank teller discovers he is actually a background player in an open-world video game, and decides to become the hero of his own story. Now, in a world where there are no limits, he is determined to be the guy who saves his world his way before it's too late.
What critics thought
Free Guy won over most critics as a breezy, self-aware blockbuster carried by Ryan Reynolds and Jodie Comer, but the gap between audience enthusiasm and critical skepticism is real — those who liked it called it charming fun, while detractors found the concept thinner than it looked and the rules of its world slippery. The comparison point that keeps coming up is The Truman Show, and not always in Free Guy's favor.
“Free Guy is a lot of fun, despite the fact that Levy and the screenwriters seem to be changing the rules as they go.”
Peter Debruge·Variety
“Thanks in large part to the vibrant, funny, sweet, endearing work by Reynolds and Comer, Free Guy delivers.”
Richard Roeper·Chicago Sun-Times
“For all its casual mayhem, Free Guy turns out to be a rather cuddly crowdpleaser, a high-concept blockbuster trifle with bubblegum ice cream clogging its circuits.”
A.A. Dowd·The A.V. Club
“doesn't really hang together, even as you're watching it.”
