Free Guy

Free Guy (2021) is a sci-fi action comedy from director Shawn Levy you can watch online on iFILM. Ryan Reynolds plays Guy — a bank teller who follows the exact same routine every single day. Same coffee. Same smile. Same robbers. Until one morning he puts on a pair of sunglasses and sees the city for what it really is: a massive open-world video game, and he's just a background NPC with no name in the credits.

Guy decides to go off-script. That puts him on a collision course with the game's ruthless owner Antwan, played with gleeful menace by Taika Waititi, who has no interest in an NPC developing a personality. Meanwhile, programmer Millie (Jodie Comer) realizes the rogue character is guarding something that could expose everything — and Joe Keery and Lil Rel Howery round out a cast that keeps the comedy sharp throughout the film's 115 minutes.

Produced by 20th Century Studios and Maximum Effort, the film earned $331 million worldwide against a $110 million budget. Written by Matt Lieberman and Zak Penn, it wraps genuine questions about autonomy and identity inside a relentlessly fun video game premise. Stream Free Guy (2021) online on iFILM.
