*freelance*, Pete Morel obtained an action with slight emphasis on a friendship contract between a rigorist ex- US special forces soldier, a ‘maverick’ soldier named Mason Pettits, John Cena and a formidably independent journalist Claire Wellington played by Alison Brie in a coup environment in a jungle. Cena would do a good job in portraying comedy, and later, power, as he transitions from the office space conflict to the unlikely hero. This unraveling is done when going through a very rigorous interview with a dictator played by Juan Pablo Raba in the real life, Juan Venegas and this is followed by very tense and dangerous escape sequences.
Morel has once again been able to manage the seriousness of the action sequences with some humor and the visuals and score just enhance the rather political themes of control and friendship on the island. Of course, *Freelance* raises the question of self-salis, trust during crisis and development of rivalry with a focus on the latter in the midst of conflict.
Despite there is some cliches and some of the characters are rather weak and their backstories are unexplored Cena and Brie are two lovely people and actors, that elevate this movie. Last but not the least *Freelance* is a powerful comedy – drama which demands more in terms of laughs, entertainment and makes us pop the questions regarding the intersections formed amidst the chaos.
