Free Fire
Directed by Ben Wheatley
Release Date: April 21
Starring Brie Larson, Cillian Murphy, Armie Hammer, Sharlto Copley, Enzo Cilenti, Sam Riley
Since properly arriving on the scene with 2011’s shape-shifting, kitchen-sink-surreal-assassin-drama Kill List, British director Ben Wheatley has often been considered one of the best in the biz (at least in the U.K. and Canada, where he’s grown a sizeable cult following). Always one to push boundaries, his latest film, Free Fire, is one of his best yet. Set in a single warehouse and featuring an all-star cast (including Academy Award winner Brie Larson, Cillian Murphy, Sharlto Copley and Armie Hammer, among others), this ultra-violent crime comedy blows the roof off Reservoir Dogs; it’s just a taste of what’s to come from the chameleonic, prize-winning director.
