The story begins with Stevo ( Sam Riley) and Bernie ( Enzo Cilenti) driving to a Boston warehouse to take part in a weapons deal that includes a couple of Irish Republican Army members, Chris ( Cillian Murphy) and Frank ( Michael Smiley). So does its status as part of one of the most striking filmographies of recent years: that of Wheatley and his screenwriting partner Amy Jump, who made 'High Rise,' ' A Field in England' and 2011's ' Kill List,' a superior foray into somewhat QT-like territory. Either way, its temporal distance from 'Reservoir Dogs'-a film it brazenly imitates, right down to the warehouse setting and the grandiose use of kitschy pop-makes it noteworthy. 'Free Fire' is neither the best nor the worst of the Tarantino wannabes at its worst, it's tediously unoriginal, and at its best, it's funny and reasonably involving. Probably eighty percent of these knockoffs could have been retitled, 'Watch Me Do Something I Think Is Easy But That Really Isn't.' 'The Boondock Saints,' ' Reindeer Games,' ' Phoenix,' 'Truth or Consequences, New Mexico,' ' Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead,' '2 Days in the Valley,' 'American Strays,' ' The Way of the Gun,' 'Suicide Kings,' '8 Heads in a Duffel Bag'-I could go on, but then we'd be here all day, and I'd never get around to talking about Ben Wheatley's 'Free Fire,' a Tarantinoid film that arrives just in time to mark the 25th anniversary of 'Reservoir Dogs,' which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival back in 1992. What followed the release of those movies was the cinematic version of a land rush, with directors, screenwriters and actors racing each other to stake out arid little plots of earth where they could build secondhand versions of films that were themselves constructed from borrowed and stolen pieces of other films (and often made no secret of what had been lifted).
