On Cruise ships, available vids are slim pickens if you prefer quality PG-13 films or stuff from the Golden Age 1930-40's. The topics are the same, but the writers now include F-words to make the film 'more real'. On that basis, FREELANCE was one of my few 'borderline' choices as John Cena stars as a lawyer turned Navy Seal turned married lawyer turned body guard to a journalist off to interview a reclusive dictator.
I like the pace of the start-we go through those career flips in a matter of minutes. I must comment on the conduct of Cena's pretty wife: she calls for a marital split after their daughter has a controversial incident at school. Well, he'a been hired out as a bodyguard by an old friend-so, why not? I don't like to see marital ties discarded so easily, even in an action-com, as it makes women look petty & short-sighted, even if it facilitates the plot a bit. Find another way (an ORIGINAL way).
Other than that, good performances by Cena and Alison Brie (the reporter). Pretty cinematography. Fills a couple hours while my girls go to the spa & leave Grandad in peace on this cruise. Ho hum.
