I have watched Free Guy. I was reluctant to see it in the cinema. Not a big fan of Ryan Reynolds but he has done a few good films. The protagonist is an NPC in a video game called Free City. One day he discovers that there is more to life than being a background character. Good special effects. Great acting. Nice soundtrack. Don't like Mariah Carey's music. I did see her at Stapleford Park in 2011. Anyway there you have Millie aka Molotov Girl. A programmer that had filed a lawsuit against the company behind the game. She is trying to gather evidence. Her ex partner Keys works in the complaints department. Guy has a best friend Buddy who is a security guard. Interesting story. Antoine is the Ceo and villain in this story. You may have seen Ready Player One, The Matrix, Tron, Wreck It Ralph. There are references and cameos. I may have been put off by the reviews. I saw this on Disney Plus.
Ryan Reynolds, Jodie Comer, Taika Waititi, Joe Keery, Lil Rel Howery.
I watched Guns Akimbo. Starring Daniel Radcliffe and Samara Weaving. Set in the US. A guy named Miles works for a video-game company. He has his ex girlfriend Nova that he may speak to occasionally. His boss is a bully. He is often at home. Plays games and sometimes trolls people on the Internet. He messed with the wrong people. Meanwhile you have a lady named Nix, looks a bit rough. Psychotic, popular and deadly. She has been enrolled in a game called Skizm. People are watching it on their computers. The villain Riktor is in charge. Miles is in the game now and must go after Nix. She is hunting Miles. With the amount of times he is shot at he should not survive. There are graphic scenes. Good special effects, acting and soundtrack. There is humour. You might also like Free Guy, Death Race, The Running Man, Ready Or Not, The Purge, The Hunt, The Hunger Games and Boss Level.

I am watching Big Game starring Samuel L Jackson. He plays the President of the USA. Air Force One crashes in the wilderness of Finland. A bunch of terrorists are after him. There is a young hunter that is on a mission of his own. White subtitles blend into the background. There were no snakes on this plane. You might have seen Air Force One, The Purge, Die Hard, White House Down, Olympus Has Fallen. Not sure about Jim Broadbent's accent.
I rented The Hitman's Bodyguard also with Sam Jackson and Ryan Reynolds. Great opening theme music. It's one of those chalk and cheese films. You may have seen Safehouse, Training Day, The Heat, Pulp Fiction, Die Hard With A Vengeance, 51st State, Unknown, 7 Psychopaths, Big Game, Ronin, Leon, Lucy, The Fifth Element, The Equalizer.
Richard E Grant, Gary Oldman also star. Set in London, Belasarus, Coventry, Amsterdam etc. Ryan plays a bodyguard to the VIPs. Sam is a hitman. They wind up together. Oldman plays a villainous President. Richard is a business man. Again the subtitles are difficult to read. The hitman's wife is played by Selma Hayak. She is in prison. Looking hot too. There is humour and violence. Interesting soundtrack.
