An irreverent, fast talking superhero (Ryan Reynolds) with lightning speed reflexes and powers of regeneration goes on a bloodlust to track down the forces that not only granted him these superhuman abilities but transformed his striking face into mincemeat in the process. Gratuitous, vulgar, obnoxious and overlong, Deadpool still almost feels like a breath of fresh air in the face of the onslaught of insipid, lifeless comic book movies of recent years.
