FREE GUY (Theatrical Release USA 2021)

 Ben Meyers’ Rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì 

Free Guy—fresh, creative, and fun—shows Ryan Reynolds in some of his better works as he thoroughly plumbs his role as ‘Guy’. The script is complicated and the conclusion takes some thought to understand what truly happened in this story. The movie more than earns its watch time and monetary investment. Great concept movie.
