Rating: 7/10 (15 May 2016)

The masked Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) uses the taxi of Dopinder (Karan Soni) to chase a gang commanded by Ajax, a.k.a. Francis Freeman (Ed Skrein). He explains that he is the former Special Forces agent Wade Wilson that worked hunting down bad people in New York. When he meets the prostitute Vanessa Carlysle (Morena Baccarin) in the bar of his friend Weasel (T.J. Miller), they immediately fall in love with each other. One year later, he proposes to marry her; however he faints and he learns that he has an incurable cancer. Soon a man offers the cure to Wade and he decides to leave Vanessa to submit to the treatment. Ajax and his assistant Angel Dust (Gina Carano) submit Wade to painful experiments in an underground laboratory. Wade discovers his true name and his true intentions with the experiment, intended to transform the patients in powerful slaves to be sold. Wade is left trapped in a machine for the weekend, but he succeeds to escape. He finds that he is cured from the cancer but with awful scars on the face and body. Further, he has developed healing powers and is super strength. However, he is a monster the decides to leave Vanessa forever and seek out Francis Freeman. Now he has found him.
"Deadpool" is a funny, gross and violent anti-superhero film. Deadpool destroys the clichés of the superhero that does not kill and protects the innocents; further he loves a hooker. Ryan Reynolds performs a hilarious hero in love with the Brazilian Morena Baccarin. His concern is not to protect the innocents but to kill the man that destroyed his face and body. The film is a great entertainment for those that like "politically incorrect" movies. My vote is seven.
