Movie #2064 "Free Guy" (redbox) Finally, a fun film to recommend, because I really liked this one, and I don't know a thing about video-gaming. I just watched the story unfold, laughed a lot, loved the visuals, and so much enjoyed Ryan Reynolds AGAIN! I really can say, in all sincerity, that I did not understand most of it. But I liked the humor, the whimsy, and the theme that I got at the end (but forgive me, if I didn't get it right?) that ultimately, the gamers enjoyed watching the people in the free city rather than fighting them. And that was enough for me. If you have read my blogs before, you know I HATE watching continual violence in a film, and I guess that's a comment that could be made here, but what I liked about this violence is that it is so fake that I didn't mind it --- so a lesson to these video programmers might be to stop making it look so real ? That made sense to me, too. I give this 4.8 out of 5 and highly recommend, if you don't mind your films fast and furious, at least once in a while!
