“Hey, Guy.”

From Free Guy.

In Free City, the heroes are the sunglasses-wearing people that run around doing cool things while average citizens, like bank teller Guy (Ryan Reynolds), carry on their lives. While he loves his life, Guy knows the city is dangerous, especially when the bank where he and his best friend, Buddy (Lil Rel Howery), work is frequently robbed. What Guy doesn’t know is that he and the other Free City citizens are actually non-playable characters programmed into one of the world’s most popular free-range crime video games. One such player is Millie (Jodie Comer) who’s been searching the game for years, looking for proof that the self-growing AI game that she created with her friend, Keys (Joe Keery), was illegally used by Free City’s creator, Antoine (Taika Waititi). While Millie works her way close to a player (Channing Tatum) that’s played a secret level which she believes is the proof she needs, Keys has gone to work for Antwan. When Millie’s character walks by Guy while singing, he finds himself attracted to her, going so far as to take someone’s sunglasses to pass for someone cool. The glasses enable Guy to see the player side of the world, but his theft leads Keys and fellow coder Mouser (Utkarsh Ambudkar) to think Guy is a hacker illegally using a NPC skin. Guy soon finds Millie, but she believes him to be an inexperienced player and tells him to level up before she’ll consider a mission partnership. Not wanting to hurt innocent citizens, Guy begins stopping crime and quickly leveling up… which creates an excited following of gamers in the real world. When Keys realizes that Guy isn’t a hacker, but rather the world’s first growing AI, he reconnects with Millie to prove that Guy’s programming was stolen from their game. With Antwan days away from launching the totally-redesigned Free City 2, it becomes a digital race against time as Guy, Millie, and Keys search for the proof that will save Guy’s world from being deleted.

This movie is filled with action and humor, but those familiar with the digital world will find the most to laugh about. Reynolds is hilarious as the inexperienced action hero. Free Guy is the action adventure that will keep viewers laughing from start to finish.
