Freelance (2023)

Director: Pierre Morel
Starring: John Cena, Alison Brie, Juan Pablo Raba

Synopsis:
An ex-Special Forces operator struggling to adjust to civilian life takes a contract as private security for a journalist interviewing a South American dictator he was once assigned to kill.

Impressions:
This is a decent action movie that gives John Cena some good moments to show off. Some of the twists and turns in the story are predictable and undermine some of the drama, but I don't think you're meant to take things too seriously. John Cena and Alison Brie have pretty good chemistry, Juan Pablo Raba is fairly funny and Marton Csokas isn't bad as the main antagonist. Honestly, though, my favorite part was the first-person sequence at the beginning. I almost wish the whole thing was done that way like Harcore Henry. If you're looking for a middle-of-the-road action flick, it's well enough worth a watch.
