It's the late 1970s, the IRA wants to buy some guns, and more is about to go wrong than the fashion. Ben Wheatley's Free Fire is probably best though of as the world's first extended, character-driven black comedy gunfight. The cast spends quite a lot of time lying around wounded, leaving bloody trails while they crawl along the floor, and so on, but they also manage some surprisingly endearing banter. Armie Hammer is particularly enjoyable.

There's not really a whole lot there once all is said and done, but it's a fun ride.
