Huge congratulations must go to Cillian Murphy for winning the Best Actor Oscar for his work inOppenheimer. He went to great lengths to transform himself for the lead role in a movie that also won Best Picture and Best Director. But it’s not my favourite film of his.

Streaming now onNetflix(on Max in the US) this is the story of a 70s arms deal gone horribly wrong. Murphy plays Chris, an IRA member in charge of negotiations, and one of the few rational characters in what becomes a movie-long shootout. He’s consistently trying to stop the madness that’s occurring while others shoot the ever-loving crud out of each other.

This is an action movie that skips pretty much all airs and graces and is all the better for it. With an all-star cast including Brie Larson, Sharlto Copley and Michael Smiley it’s an absolute romp. If you’ve just rewatched Oppenheimer or any of the 2024Oscar nominees,Free Fireis the ultimate palette cleanser.
