A couple house cleaning notes of interest. ![]() With Ben Wheatley's riotous Free Fire arriving in theaters this weekend, which is essentially a feature-length shootout that will undoubtedly end up a future iteration of this list, the Collider staff rounded up our favorite movie shootouts to get in the ballistic spirit. Over the years, shoot 'em up set-pieces have grown and evolved along with film technology and audience tastes, translating to new genres and popping up in just about every kind of movie you can think of, from superhero actioners to meta-comedies and awards contenders. And they've only become more popular in the decades since. Classic Westerns, crime movies, and war films have long hinged their climactic action beats on bloody gun battles between their heroes and the forces that oppose them. With a positive end with a new family coming out of the ashes, I cannot recommend this movie highly enough.Shootouts and gunfights are a rich cinematic tradition. This a forever family that is so much better than no family. Adults will have a great laugh as well and will see the underlying message that Director Andy Fickman weaves throughout the tale.

I have to say what a great message to send to your kids. Jake Carson and his team quote these words throughout the film.
