In Freelance, John Cena plays a former Army Ranger turned family man who takes a job working security for a journalist who scores an interview with a South American dictator.

When they get caught up in a coup the former military operative finds himself on a more adventurous trip than he planned for.

Director Pierre Morel and the filmmaking team prided themselves on designing and executing production with practical effects and stunts – versus a reliance on heavy VFX.

“What I think is also fun, and we see less and less in movies is that I like the actors to do as much as they can themselves. We don’t have any CGI crazy creatures. John, Alison, and Juan Pablo got into the action pieces they had to do and I think that shows. The audience wants that.”

Freelance stars John Cena, Alison Brie, Christian Slater, Alice Eve, Juan Pablo Raba.

Prorom will release Freelance in cinemas in Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Deals have closed with Prorom Media-Trade (who will release the movie in Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria) and other important distributors across the world.
