20 Worst Movies Of 2023
5. Freelance
Freelance feels like a relic of an action-comedy that Hollywood stopped making about a decade ago, where the Hot Guy and Hot Girl get reluctantly teamed together in a hostile, exotic environment. Sexy, action-packed shenanigans ensue.
Except, Freelance is a strictly algorithmic rendition of that concept, with John Cena and Alison Brie thoroughly slumming it as an ex-soldier and journalist who find themselves caught in the middle of a brutal military coup.
A virtually laughless experience packed with generic action, Freelance fails to exploit the charms of its likeable leads, leaving them stranded and flailing for 109 exhausting minutes.
Beyond a single fan service scene where Cena and Brie strip down to nothing, this a film destined to be forgotten in record time. There, it's gone.
