Free Guy (2021)

2022.05.23
Watched Free Guy on Disney+.
It's basically The Lego Movie, but instead of legos the background is Grand Theft Auto Online.
If you like that, you'll almost certainly like this.

* spoilers for both of the above... as if you could spoil a Disney movie *

The most memorable thing about the Lego movie is how it interacted with the real world. In Free Guy, the hook is that the real world doesn't matter - the protagonist is an AI emerging from the system itself. Kind of boring and overly done, it makes for a lesser experience than Lego - watch that instead.

Having said that, if you like GTA, its interesting to see it represented on screen. Like everything else in this movie, there's not much depth to it, but it's nice to see one of the best selling games ever get some representation.
