Freelance parte de una premisa prometedora —un ex soldado protegiendo a una periodista en medio de un golpe de estado—, pero la ejecución no logra aprovecharla. La película mezcla acción y comedia sin encontrar el equilibrio, dejando escenas que se sienten genéricas y un tono inconsistente. A pesar de contar con elementos para construir una aventura entretenida, el resultado final es una experiencia plana y poco memorable.

Freelance is a movie without much demand. The story could have been written by AI because it's so generic. It's a mix between comedy and action. Nevertheless, for an evening without any hustle, you could watch this movie, but don't expect too much.

John Cena gives off the vibe that he didn't even want to be in this movie, while Alison Brie is stuck with a terrible role. The only mildly redeeming quality might be Juan Pablo Raba's performance, but even that feels like a shallow imitation of iconic villains from other films. Overall, Freelance suffers from an atrocious script, bland action scenes, and poorly developed characters.

Freelance started out strong for me and I enjoyed the overall camaraderie between Claire and John Cena's character. The premise is an interesting one and it reminded me of a few films such as the upcoming Argyle and the Lost City - which I feel are throwbacks to Romancing the Stone and Jewel of the Nile per Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas. These have long been two of my favorite romantic adventure stories so I felt freelance fell in line with that and I quite enjoyed it.

I found the movie itself quite fun, I mean it was a typical popcorn movie so the plot was a bit dumb and some parts of it, but by watching trailer I knew quite well what I am going into when planning to watch it - yes they could have made it a bit funnier at points or make it more with sense in the plot, but other than that it was ok.

I can't explain, it just lacked some umph behind it but still ok to watch with the dictator who has a golden gun

Occasionally chuckle worthy action comedy with a decent cast and below average screenplay does well to entertain for a couple of hours. There's not much here to challenge your expectations but if youre in the mood there are some easy action movie thrills to be found. Sadly it never quite finds the groove between comedy and action instead sort of wavering into an almost parody movie energy instead. Its an odd duck and the chemistry between brie and cena never really works sadly. Worth a look if you like the cast or the genre.

O filme é bem fraco, a primeira meia hora de filme é bem entediante, quase não conseguimos sentir algum apreço pelo personagem de Cena. No entanto as cenas de ação conseguem livrar um pouco o filme do seu péssimo enredo.

0/10 This film so a joke, it's so bad that I couldn't even refer it to anyone I know couldn't do that to them, all the scenes are very bad it looked either John Cena was trying to be funny and quirky but failed miserably.

Freelance, a good popcorn movie. A former soldier and lawyer is called back in action to become a personal bodyguard for a reporter in the country which wounded him. This is his story about redemption, good action, comedy, and an overall enjoyable movie.

IN A NUTSHELL: An ex-Special Forces operative takes a job to provide security for a journalist as she interviews a dictator, but when a military coup breaks out in the middle of the interview, they are forced to escape into the jungle to survive. This movie is directed by Pierre Morel and written by Jacob Lentz. Based on the terribly low score of 7% by critics on Rotten Tomatoes, I can say I definitely got a kick out of this movie more than other film critics. During its opening week, it sat at an embarrassing 0%. Yikes! Audiences liked it more too, giving it a 77% grade. THINGS I LIKED: John Cena is such a beast. I get a kick out of his movie performances. How about you? The story features a guy with Special Forces training in the Army. Those guys are total studmuffins. I’ve always liked Alison Brie and was happy to see her again. She looks beautiful in every scene. It’s great to see Christian Slater again. He’s looking good. All of the cast members of this movie about the Banana Republic did a great job and included Marton Csokas, Juan Pablo Raba, and adorable Molly McCann. The soundtrack is fun, energetic, and even humorous at times. Snappy and funny dialogue Lots of visual and spoken humor. I don’t know why, but I always love it when characters in a movie reference other movies. In this one, it’s a slam on how terrible the movie Delta Force Ha ha It also quotes a line from The Godfather. I love twists and turns. There are quite a few of them in the story, so the viewer is never quite sure who is telling the truth. Lots of action and fight sequences. I thought it was funny that President Venegas’ suit stayed perfectly white throughout the entire jungle ordeal. I love that the movie doesn’t take itself too seriously, while at the same, sharing some insightful messages. THINGS I DIDN’T LIKE: It’s as if the movie can’t decide if it’s a comedy, action, or a drama. It’s a bit of all three, really, but the tone shifts so much that it’s hard to know what the filmmakers were going for. Well, there didn’t have to be as much profanity, blood, and nudity… TIPS FOR PARENTS: Lots of profanity, including many F-bombs in English and Spanish Violence with various weapons & hand-to-hand combat A woman throws up after drinking too much alcohol Talk of having an affair Some Spanish is spoken sometimes with and without subtitles. A little girl flips the bird. We see people get shot and killed Some blood Explosions and destruction We see the top half of 3 naked people coming out from showers. A woman covers her chest with her hands (but she doesn’t cover everything).

In 2019, John Cena starred in the comedy Playing With Fire, which at the time went completely unnoticed in theaters. Back then, I expressed that even though as hard as Cena would try, he would not become a movie star like Dwayne Johnson did.However, he made appearances in more famous films, joined the Fast and Furious franchise, and got a lot of recognition for his portrayal of Peacemaker in The Suicide Squad, followed by his own series on HBO Max, so it seemed my skepticism might have been **** it seems Cena is back to where he was limited and destined to be with his recent appearances in such irrelevant movies as Vacation Friends 1 and 2, Hidden Strike with Jackie Chan and now Freelance. So everything seems to be back to normal.Freelance is a terrible action comedy. A mess that fails to be either entertaining or funny. It feels like a manufactured product in the hopes of getting attention for having Cena involved while the rest of the movie seems to have been improvised. Still, even to produce low-quality content, certain skills are required, and Freelance makes it clear pretty quickly that whatever they were looking to pursue is being offered to the audiences in a crappy and pitiful way.
