Freelance is a 2023 American action comedy film directed by Pierre Morel and written by Jacob Lentz. It stars John Cena as Mason Pettits, a former special forces operative who is now working a dead-end desk job. He is reluctantly recruited by his former boss (Christian Slater) to provide security for journalist Claire Wellington (Alison Brie) as she interviews the ruthless dictator of Paldonia, Juan Venegas (Juan Pablo Raba).
When a military coup breaks out in the middle of the interview, Mason, Claire, and Juan are forced to flee into the jungle together. They must use their skills and wits to survive the jungle, the rebels, and each other in order to make it out alive.
Along the way, Mason and Claire develop an unlikely friendship as they learn more about each other and their motivations. Mason is forced to confront his past as a soldier, while Claire must come to terms with her own ambition and her desire to make a difference in the world.
Freelance is a fast-paced and exciting action film with a touch of comedy. It is also a thought-provoking film that explores themes of redemption, friendship, and the power of the media.
