Freelance (2023)
7/10
Not The Greatest But.....

Warning: Spoilers
I saw Freelance, starring John Cena-Barbie, The Marine; Alison Brie-GLOW_tv, Madmen_tv; Christian Slater-Mr. Robot_tv, Broken Arrow and Juan Pablo Raba-Peppermint, Narcos_tv.

This is an action/comedy movie that leans more to the action side and is a little lighter in the comedy area. John plays an ex Special Forces soldier that has retired after his last mission where he got injured-his back got hurt. John is now married and has a daughter and a boring job when Christian-an old military buddy-comes calling and has a job for him. Alison plays a jounalist that is going into a war torn country to interview a dictator, Juan, and Christian wants John to provide security for her, saying it will be an easy gig. Of course, it's not, as a military coup erupts during Alison's interview and John has to act fast to try and save her and Juan. There are a few twists and turns before the conclusion and there are a few bloopers shown as the end credits start but nothing at the very end.

It's rated R for violence, language and some partial nudity and has a running time of 1 hour & 48 minutes.

It's not the greatest at balancing the action and comedy but I enjoyed it enough that I would buy it on DVD.
