Hello All,
It’s been a weird few weeks for me. Scheduling has been running me ragged, along with a slew of personal issues. So clearly this was the time to watch a silly movie, and what better combination of people for said silly movie the Deadpool and Nick Fury? Sorry, Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson. So how well does the pair hold up? Let’s find out together shall we?
Plot Summary - Bodyguard Michael Bryce (Ryan Reynolds) is struggling years after a job gone wrong. When a former girlfriend calls him asking for his help, he finds himself escorting a key witness for a major trial: Professional Hitman Darius Kincaid (Samuel L. Jackson). With only 27 between them and the trial, and with every mercenary in between them, they must set aside their differences or find themselves dead.
Pros - The whole film coasts on Reynolds and Jackson and they’re clearly the best part of the whole movie. The pair are a laugh riot, and are basically worth the price of admission alone. The action scenes are thrilling as well, managing to make full use of the close european environment they’re in. The soundtrack is really good also, with some surprising choices thrown in as well.
Cons - Elodie Yung as the love interest gets almost nothing to do, which is sad because she’s great when she’s around. Gary Oldman as the man on trial gets a few more moments and he is great, but again not much to do. The story is possibly the biggest problem though, as it feels sort of basic. You can see certain plot points coming from a mile away, and not very much happens other than them trying to get there.
Final Score - 6/10
It’s worth it for the main duo, but beyond that there’s not much depth. Good for a few easy laughs if that’s all you’re looking for.
Next: Annabelle: Creation - I’m late on this one, but when you’ve had the days I’ve had recently it’s really hard to get into the mood for a horror movie.
