Rating: 8/10 (2 January 2017)

"Deadpool" is a unique superhero film with a unique superhero. Ryan Reynolds stars as Wade Wilson, the former quarterback of the Minnesota Vikings; oops, wrong Wade Wilson. OK, he is really the father of that volleyball and BFF of Tom Hanks in "Castaway". OK, enough!!!! Reynolds' character Wilson is a fast-talking mercenary who discovers has late stage cancer. Wilson then takes an opportunity from an underground group that promises him that they can cure his cancer and give him superpowers. I know that most of America, and the World for that matter, has seen this movie; but in order not to be in the spoilerpool , I will not divulge more on the plot. I do have to tell you that because of Wilson's dilemma, arises Deadpool. Writers Rhett Reese and Pauk Wernick did go into their pool of witty zingers to deliver to Deadpool's witty verbal attack. Director Tim Miller did pull through with some nicely orchestrated sequences, but at times did get trapped into the formulaic "bang bang" superhero scenic action. Reynolds was the superhero of "Deadpool"; his performance was superb. So if you haven't already, take a dip in the "Deadpool". **** Good
