Deadpool

Dir: Tim Miller

Cast: Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, T.J. Miller, Ed Skrein, Gina

Carano, Leslie Uggams, Breanna Hildebrand

       Taking place in the X-Men universe, Deadpool is based on character of the same

  name. Ryan Reynolds stars as Wade Wilson, a hitman who one day gets diagnosed

  with terminal cancer. Upon learning this, he volunteers himself to be a guinea pig 

  for a shady organization that can cure him but for a price. In doing so, it disfigures

  him and turns him into a wisecracking assassin.

       

       With the help of two X-Men (Colossus & Negasonic Teenage Warhead), Deadpool

  goes on a killing spree looking for the Francis (Skrein), the man who permanently 

  scarred him for life. 

       Despite the graphic nature of the film, some of the 4th wall breaking jokes were

  utterly hilarious. It's a movie that doesn't take itself seriously and had a good message

  about accepting someone for who they are. 

      Deadpool was stuck in developmental hell for a decade and it's a movie 

 worthy of your time. It's easily one of my favorite superhero movies of the year.

   Grade A (10/10)
