Free Guy (2021)

A massive let down to be honest and far closer to the awful Ready Play One than I'd hoped. Living inside a fake reality films set a high water mark back in the 90's with the likes of The Truman Show and The Matrix, this offers next to nothing. The basic concept of Non Playable Characters inside video games attaining sentience is ripe for exploration, but ideas are thrown up in the air and never explored below surface level noise. It maybe the first romantic adventure for the PewDiePie/YouTube video game set but its cast is closer to the personality of NPC's themselves and relying solely on the trademark charm of Ryan Reynolds to get the movie over the line, is nowhere near enough.
