Freelance, a 2023 film that successfully blends action and comedy, provides the audience with fun-filled moments. The mediocrity that begins with the character, a former special forces soldier, missing his past years and trying to put his life in order after retirement, turns into a gripping, adventure-filled story as he takes on the task of protecting a female journalist.
Mason Pettis, a former special forces soldier, is dissatisfied with his post-retirement life and reflects this situation on his family. The way the contradictions of the character, who misses his old life and tries to return to the past at every opportunity, are reflected is successful because it is possible to understand Mason's feelings and apply them to every aspect of life.
Not only is the story and the execution of the movie extremely successful, but it is also very skillful in combining action with comedy. The chemistry between the ex-soldier and the female journalist he protects enhances the impact of the comedy scenes. Even when things get out of control, the comedy scenes make more sense with the rising action momentum.
My favorite character in Freelance was President Juan. Seeing the realities of politics through the eyes of a politician who is unpopular in his country and seen as a dictator led to both funny and thought-provoking scenes. The character seemed extremely successful in reflecting his political power, which manages to influence people in every way. I can say, but I can't prove, that the frames in question are true to life. Lol
I can say that the movie was visually impressive. The location choices were quite successful, I especially liked the chase scenes shot in nature. The way the action scenes were choreographed and the way the comedy was added was satisfying.
The main characters, the ex-soldier and the female journalist, are in harmony with the side characters. Underneath the thought-provoking scenes of the movie, the president and his positive use of political power make the movie more entertaining than it is.
The character of President Juan, who does not compromise his charisma even under the most difficult conditions, walking with his hands in his pockets and his typical politician appearance are the kind of unforgettable scenes. I can say that it was perfect for the character, who I found entertaining throughout the movie and who I liked the most.
The movie Freelance seems to be an option that promises pleasant moments for those who primarily like action and comedy genres. But I can also say that it appeals to everyone who likes to watch movies. I think it is a production that especially those who love the comedy genre should watch without thinking. The successful and energetic performances of the actors make you have a fun time throughout the movie and the time flows quickly.
Thank you for being here and reading. I hope I have helped you get a preliminary idea about the movie. I wish everyone who will see the movie a good time. Take care and goodbye!
