Zhao Xina's "Freelancer" Gets a 4/10 from IGN: A Disappointment with A-List Actors
2023-10-26
The action comedy "Freelancer," starring John Cena, has hit theaters in North America, and IGN has given this film a mere 4 out of 10 rating.
"Freelancer" boasts impressive digital effects but lacks innovation in its action sequences, resulting in a missed opportunity to showcase the talents of its A-list cast.
In other projects, each actor in "Freelancer" could have better demonstrated their skills. John Cena's lead performance leaves viewers underwhelmed, and Alison Brie fails to win over the audience. Director Pierre Morel's uninspired work behind the scenes and the film's misleading title only draw the audience into a movie devoid of emotion and vitality. Even in the most intense gunfights, the film struggles to leave a lasting impression.
Fortunately, Paldonia is not a real place, sparing the audience from the negative legacy of "Freelancer." This film seems to fall short of its potential, leaving a sense of regret.

The image of John Cena, who guest stars as a 'Ken Merman,' was also unveiled. The stark contrast between Zhao Xina's blonde appearance and the familiar 'Barbie' is both significant and amusing.
