Director Pierre Morel and writer Jacob Lentz team up to deliver a delightful blend of action and comedy in the 2023 film "Freelance." The plot follows Mason Pettits, played by the charismatic John Cena, a retired Army Special Forces turned lawyer, who reluctantly finds himself back in the world of covert operations. While the storyline may not break new ground, the film's execution and Cena's signature style make it an entertaining ride from start to finish.
The film kicks off with Mason Pettits leading a mundane life as a lawyer, haunted by his past mission to assassinate Paldonian dictator Juan Venegas. When former comrade Sebastian Earle, portrayed by the reliable Christian Slater, offers him a high-paying personal security job, Mason's life takes a dramatic turn. The mission involves protecting disgraced journalist Claire Wellington, played by the talented Alison Brie, as she interviews Venegas in Paldonia.
