{{Film Title}} | '''''Free Fire''''' is a dark comedy / crime thriller about a group of criminals who meet at an abandoned warehouse to initiate an illegal weapons sale in 1978 Boston. The film is a British production and despite being set in Boston, Massachusetts, was filmed entirely in the U.K. Thus, this explains some of the weapon choices in the film. The film was finished in 2016 and hit several festivals but did not see wide release until April of 2017. | ||
