'Free Guy' review: One heck of a fun ride, Guy

Guy was beginning to feel a little underdressed for Halloween. – Photos:

Guy used to be just that, a guy,. Every day, he wakes up and says hello to his goldfish, puts on the same set of clothes, gets the same overpriced coffee, and shows up at his job at the bank without fail. And several times each day, he has to get down on the floor when the bank is robbed, which happens quite a lot in Free City, where he lives.

You see, Free City is actually a vast open world video game in which players go around committing acts of crime and violence for fun, and Guy (played by the incomparably funny Ryan Reynolds) is a Non-Player Character (NPC) in that game, programmed to just do the same thing over and over again, every day.
