What is the plot of Freelance?
According to the official synopsis of the film, the plot of Freelance revolves around an "ex-special forces operative" (John Cena), who is stuck in a dead-end desk job. He reluctantly takes on a gig to provide private security for a “washed-up journalist” (Alison Brie). High security is required for her interview with a “ruthless but impeccably dressed” dictator (Juan Pablo Raba).
The official synopsis further notes that when a “military coup breaks out” just as the journalist is about to “get the scoop of a lifetime,” the trio face a dire situation and must figure out “how to survive the jungle, the assassins, and each other in order to make it out alive.”
