In the open world video game Free City, an amalgamation of Grand Theft Auto and Fortnite, Guy (Reynolds) is a non-player character, working as a bank teller. Thanks to code developed by programmers Milly (Comer) and Keys (Keery) inserted into Free City by the publisher Antoine (Waititi), Guy becomes aware of his world being a video game, and takes steps to make himself the hero, creating a race against time to save the game before the developers can shut it down.
Not gonna lie, this seems like it could be a lot of fun. Ryan Reynolds playing the character as extremely wholesome is pretty entertaining.

What a novel idea: a decently original movie premise. Could be a fun watch

Man, it's been 10 years since Gamer already? And I was seriously disappointed in that movie; this one looks much better.

Also, they must have REALLY high hopes to give it the first weekend in July slot. That's the spot the last two Spider-Man movie were released in.

Gamer was the first thing I thought of too, even if the premises are different.

Looked pretty fun and could be a good summer film. I hope there's a bit more regarding meta humor, like at 4:00pm a bunch of kids hold up the bank because they all just got home from school, or one dude just running into the bank over and over again to grind xp. Could be a lot of fun things possible with this.

As a fan of Grand Theft Auto, I'm cautiously optimistic for this.

It'll probably be the closest we'll get to a GTA adaptation until Roger Corman dies.

I was on board until they introduced the generic love interest... and then a generic bad guy.
Why?
This premise doesn't require these things. This will be just another bland Summer action movie, except with video game references instead of movie/TV references.

Also, both the director and writer don't have good movies on their resume.
Not looking good.

Hahaha, someone played APB Reloaded and made an entire movie shitting on it.


This is exactly what it looks like. This is amazing. They get video games and hate APB Reloaded. That's a win win. It actually looks good, really.

And you know whats funny? The first good video game movie might be based on APB Reloaded. Holy fuck, how can you not love that?
