Last month will probably go on record as the most loaded March across all mediums. Video games, films, and TV series’ premieres ran amok and destroyed our free time. As I briefly peel myself away from Dallas International Film Festival (DIFF) screenings, let’s look at the April 2017 films that are most likely to tickle one’s fancy.
Outside of these 8 films, you still have Fate of the Furious, The Transfiguration, Born in China, The Circle, and so many more that could pass the time in an enjoyable fashion. Enjoy this somewhat-quiet month of content before the summer movie season further dismantles your spare time.
6. Free Fire
Release Date: April 21st
Writer/director Ben Wheatley‘s last effort High Rise got out of hand quickly. Regular people succumb to their lesser, animalistic tendencies as society collapses and all hell breaks loose. I already sense a recurring theme in Wheatley’s work, as Free Fire appears to be the same general arc in a more confined space and time. Also, the depth in casting doesn’t hurt. (I’d normally spell out who’s in it, but I highly encourage you to watch this nutty red-band trailer for that information.) Considering how insanely good High Rise was, Free Fire is probably my personal most anticipated amidst these April 2017 films.
