Free Guy movie review: Flashy but frivolous proof that Ryan Reynolds has stopped taking chances

Hindustan Times  

Free Guy Director - Shawn Levy Cast - Ryan Reynolds, Jodie Comer, Joe Keery, Utkarsh Ambudkar, Taika Waititi, Lil Rel Howery Free Guy movie review: Jodie Comer and Ryan Reynolds in a scene from Shawn Levy's new film. Free Guy in its opening scene comes across like the live-action remake of The Lego Movie, and gradually flicks elements from The Truman Show, The Matrix and even Ready Player One, which, in a classic example of Hollywood self-plagiarism, was co-written by Zak Penn, one of the co-writers of this film. This image released by 20th Century Studios shows Ryan Reynolds in a scene from Free Guy. It’s like Free Guy is stitched together with celebrity cameos and sight gags more than an actual story.
