Freelance, starring John Cena and Alison Brie, is an action-comedy that is neither exciting or funny. Read on for our review.

The Big Picture Freelance begins with disappointment. In a montage awkwardly told in first-person, John Cena’s Mason Pettits laments that he knows exactly what he’s been put on this world to do, and yet, he hasn’t been able to do it. After becoming a lawyer and hating it, Mason quit to become a special forces operative, where he soon went on a mission to assassinate President Juan Venegas of Paldonia that left him injured and with half of his team dead.

Freelance Release Date October 27, 2023 Director Pierre Morel Cast Alison Brie, John Cena, Alice Eve, Christian Slater Rating R Genres Action, Comedy 'Freelance' Is an Action-Comedy Without Solid Action or Comedy From Pierre Morel, director of Taken, From Paris with Love, and the truly atrocious Peppermint, Freelance continues his trend of bland, unremarkable action films.

Yet most confounding is how excessively complex Lentz tries to make what should’ve been a relatively simple concept. Instead of getting into the action or the comedy, Freelance stops itself dead in its tracks to go over and over the laborious plotting of this story. There are several minutes of Slater’s character trying to convince Cena’s Mason that he should do this job—which as we’ve seen is his dream job.
