Freelance

Freelance (2023) is an action comedy you can watch online on iFILM. The film comes from Pierre Morel, the director behind Taken, with wrestler-turned-actor John Cena in the lead.

Mason Pettits once served in special forces. Now he pushes paper at a desk job and misses the rush. Out of boredom he takes an easy gig: guard journalist Claire Wellington while she interviews a charming South American dictator. The plan is simple and well paid. Then a military coup erupts mid-interview, and the two have to bolt into the jungle, shooting their way out as they go. The advance is already in his pocket, so backing out is not an option. The cast also features Alison Brie, Juan Pablo Raba and Christian Slater.

This is breezy genre fare about an ex-soldier who finds retirement doesn't fit his temperament, which is exactly what the tagline jokes about. Expect gunfights, chases and sharp banter thrown together. Stream Freelance (2023) online on iFILM.
