Eventually, Mason finds himself embroiled in that conflict, becoming forced to protect both the reporter and the dictator from those who wish them harm. Claire is conducting an interview for the dictator of a tropical country, one that is on the brink of a full-blown civil war. Though he's reluctant to take the job, Mason ultimately agrees to be the bodyguard of Claire Wellington, a reporter well-known for her journalistic integrity. As quiet as his life is, it's also a mundane one, and a new employer ( Christian Slater) offers the veteran the opportunity of a lifetime. Since his implied military service, Mason has lived a much quieter lifestyle as a lawyer, coming off the heels of a messy divorce from his ex-wife ( Alice Eve). The trailer begins with a series of point-of-view shots (presumably from Cena's Mason Pettits) in various military settings before cutting to Cena in his bedroom. Relativity Media released the first trailer for Freelance on Monday, August 21, which quickly introduces audiences to John Cena's latest action hero.
