There's only a few days left to watch Cillian Murphy's "brutal" action thriller before it leaves Channel 4's streaming service.
Set in 1970s' Boston, Free Fire tells the story of a black market arms deal with disastrous consequences.
Intermediaries Justine and Ord set up a meeting between two IRA members and a dangerous gang. But when the deal quickly goes south, the pair are caught in the crossfire of a fatal showdown where they must fight to survive.
Directed by Ben Wheatley, the movie stars Brie Larson and Armie Hammer as Justine and Ord. Meanwhile, Sharlto Copley, Babou Ceesay, Jack Reynor and Noah Taylor play the gang members/sellers.
On the other side of the shootout are Irishmen Chris (Murphy) and Frank (Michael Smiley), who are joined by cohorts Stevo (Sam Riley) and Bernie (Enzo Cilenti).

Free Fire hit cinemas in 2017 and is now available to watch on Channel 4 in the UK. However, the movie will be removed from the streaming platform on Friday 25 July, meaning there's only five days left to watch it.
During its initial box office run, the movie grossed a mere $3.8 million worldwide, failing to recover its $7 million budget. Despite the cinematic misfire, it currently holds a 70% critics' score from 237 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.

"Free Fire is a crackerjack maelstrom of creative madness that's a full-throttle merry-go-round of machinegun excitement," wrote MovieFreak.
"It's relentlessly brutal and surprisingly hilarious, the blackest of black humour seeping from its pores," said The Daily Beast, while CBR echoed: "Free Fire is a fearless and sharp shoot 'em up, loaded with star power, and polished with gallows humor."
"A mostly fun, over-the-top ode to the siege movie, as well as a love/hate letter to all things firearm-related," added The Globe and Mail.
Free Fire is available to stream on Channel 4 until 25 July.
