For gamers, Free Guy is an absolute blast to watch. The latest sci-fi action film stars Ryan Reynolds as a bank teller who discovers that he's actually an NPC inside an open-world action video game. As a satire of the video game industry, the movie is absolutely hilarious. The movie contains a number of laughs from Reynolds and more than enough video game easter eggs to find.

Though as fun as it is, Free Guy is not a perfect representation of what video games are like. Like most movies, there are a number of plot holes and inconsistencies that begin to show if audiences spend too much time overthinking everything. While these flaws might exist, they certainly shouldn't ruin anyone's enjoyment of the movie.

6 How NPCs Are Programmed To Act

The entirety of Free Guy is built on the fact that Guy and the other NPCs have no idea that they're in a video game. So the movie has everyone act like constant robbery and violence is normal, almost to emphasize how used they are to it. While the filmmakers have a ton of fun with this, it's also not how most NPCs are programmed to act in action-adventure video games. Free Guy clearly takes a lot of inspiration from games like Grand Theft Auto Online, and in most games like that developers go out of their way to make NPCs feel as realistic as possible.

In actual games like this, NPCs are programmed to scream and run away in the face of danger. In Free Guy, Guy and the other NPCs are apparently programmed to almost act bored in the face of that same danger. It's very possible that Soonami Games purposely programmed the NPCs in Free City to act in this way, but it'd be difficult to find any violent video game that programmed NPCs in the same manner.

5 Guy's Internet Popularity

Near the beginning of the movie, Guy meets Millie (or her account name, "MolotovGirl"), which causes him to break from his programming and become sentient. He wants to talk to Millie, but Millie thinking that Guy is another player, won't talk to Guy until he's at least at rank 100. Guy is only at rank 1, so he plays the game Free City in order to level up. However, Guy chooses to play as a "good guy" and becomes famous. Everyone thinks that Guy is a player who hacked into the game to don an NPC skin.

This is all fun, but it would likely never happen in real life. Open-world multiplayer games, like Grand Theft Auto Online, have players who mess with other players all the time. Not always, but these types of games also usually offer nicer, more mundane activities for players to do instead of constant violence.

Considering how Guy was able to level up by doing nice things, it's clear that the programming for Free City lets players do good things. The fact that he makes it as big as he does just by playing the game nicely is a little far-fetched. And, since Guy is able to level up, does that mean the NPCs in Free City have ranks like players?

4 How Millie Finds The Source Code

Millie is an indie developer who, along with her co-developer Keys, made a potential game called Life Itself. The code used in the game was stolen by Soonami Games and Millie highly suspects it was used in Free City without their permission. So the real reason Millie is playing Free City is to try to uncover the source code in the game. She's tracked it down to a well-guarded player's house, which she tries to break into repeatedly throughout the movie. This makes for a great plot for an action movie, but like most action movies, the logistics are a little unrealistic.

In the game world, the source code acts like a physical object the players can find. So why would Soonami put all of their code like this in the game, especially since some of it was stolen? And why does Millie need to actually play the game to find the code? Keys literally works at Soonami, and while he's initially hesitant, it doesn't take Millie long to convince him to help her. Wouldn't it be easier if she asked him to search the game's files for the code? Of course, there would be no fun action movie if Millie had taken the easy way out.

3 Where The Source Code Is Hidden

Related to the entry above, Millie has tracked down the source code to another player's house in the game. Eventually, both Guy and Millie meet the player, who gladly gives Guy the code. The player isn't some big Soonami employee, but rather a 20-year-old gamer living with his mom and streaming his gaming to his followers. This makes for a fun sequence, especially with Channing Tatum as the player's avatar.

But then some further questions come up. Most importantly, why is this highly valuable code sitting in a random player's house? Since the evidence of the stolen code is there, it seems unlikely that Soonami would want just any player to stumble upon it. After all, if this player was able to get it, Millie could've easily gotten to it had she started playing sooner. Wouldn't Antwan want the evidence taken out of the game's world? Also, how did this random player acquire the code?

2 Millie and Keys

Later on in the movie, Keys informs the audience that the code for Life Itself was designed to have NPCs naturally grow as the game progressed. To design one of the key characters, Keys made it so that he would have a sort of dream girl that he could never get. He then tells Millie that he based this dream girl off of her. This code, of course, would eventually become the code for Guy, which is both why Guy is in love with Millie and why meeting Millie made him sentient.

Most people in Millie's shoes would hear this explanation and immediately realize that Keys liked her. Why else base a character's "dream girl" off of someone so close? Millie, however, doesn't seem to pick up on this. Instead, it takes her to the end of the movie when she finally listens to Keys' full explanation where he outwardly says that he likes her. Maybe Millie is a little more oblivious than most people, but the signs were still obvious.

1 Lack of Crunch

This one is a little more serious. Near the end of the movie, Soonami Games is only 48 hours away from releasing Free City 2, a highly anticipated launch. Whenever we see developers working on Free City 2, the environment looks mundane and almost normal.

Anyone who's worked in the AAA game industry knows that this couldn't be further from the truth. "Crunch" is a term given to the final stretch in a game's development. Weeks, maybe even months before the release of a huge title, developers will often be working under terrible working conditions, usually working extremely long and unreasonable hours.

Most major developers and popular games go through some sort of crunch. Yet just 2 days before the launch of Free City 2, and the developers appear to be fine and dandy. Sure, it's possible that Antwan is a reasonable guy and Soonami treats its employees fairly. Not all AAA game developers go through crunch. But considering how Antwan steals Millie's code, gets involved in multiple scandals, and even takes an ax to the game servers, the idea that he'd give his employees reasonable working conditions is questionable at best.
