Free Guy Review

 

So I went to see this with my wife last night.   Pleasantly surprised.  Pleasantly surprised.  I hadn't been out for a date in a while and the wife and I decided to eat a nice dinner out and then catch this movie and it was very good.  My wife wants to watch it again, and I have to agree, this movie does what many CGI modern movies don't do : cater to a well-written script and not rely on CGI effects to carry the show.   Ryan Reynolds is a guy who lives in a video game.   I'm not going to spoil this, but slowly he realizes he has a free will! This causes a lot of development for those who expect NPC (Non-Playable Characters) to actually just do what they are told.   Overall this movie delivers on drama, action, comedy and romance and that is a tall order to fill.  If you are looking for horror that is about the only genre this movie won't fill (and I'm thankful for that).  Overall though the message is rock solid.   I would recommend this movie to reflect on life in the real world and realize that God's gift of a free will is really something you shouldn't waste.   Recommended.
