Deadpool (2016 Tim Miller)

Another one of those incongruous meetings of ultra violence and self-aware comic book adaptations from the ubiquitous Marvel stable (how rich must Stan Lee be?) begins well with send up credits and a quippy action scene, Ryan Reynolds in good form, but becomes more tortury and later action scenes played more straight become dull (e.g. fight between big metal thing and somehow ultra-powerful woman). Also suggests having loads of sex is a good relationship. Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick wrote it. Miller's debut.

Ed Skrein is the baddy, T.J. Miller the friend, Morena Vaccarin the girlfriend. Undoubtedly will please its target audience.
