‘A kind of cartel Errol Flynn’ AMC Call it the Gus Fring Problem. Some characters are written to play things close to the vest while remaining so outwardly calm that they can pose a uniquely frustrating challenge to those bearing the responsibility to actually write them.

Here’s What We Know 20th Century Studios By Steven Ward/Jan. 3, 2022 2:17 pm EST Heads up: This article contains spoilers for “Free Guy.” Despite being delayed a year due to the pandemic, “Free Guy” had something of a Cinderella moment since its release in August of 2021, enjoying both box office success and critical love.
