Mark Kolbe/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images Dennison's role in the film was a star-making turn, winning Best Actor at the 2017 New Zealand Film Awards and drawing the attention of Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds. Directed by and starring fellow New Zealand natives Taika Waititi and Sam Neill, respectively, the film tells the story of Ricky Baker (Dennison), a trouble-making teen who's placed into foster care and ignites a nationwide manhunt after he disappears into the woods with his foster uncle (Neill).

Overall, it's a mixed bag for me.worth seeing and enjoyable but one I am very glad I waited until the film came to cable TV.Deadpool 2 seems to subscribe to the idea that bigger is better. What I did like was how Deadpool occasionally broke through the fourth wall and talked to the audience or made commentaries about superhero films.that I really liked. Yes, there are tons and tons of explosions and action.that left me pretty cold.as did some of the ultra violence. And, while "Deadpool" deliberately avoids some of this, it's STILL a head on assault to your senses due to all the action and explosions.my primary reason for not being a superhero fan. Sure, I've seen more than my share but I am growing tired of the whole genre. ![]() And, when I am not as enthusiastic about it, understand that I am writing my review mostly for folks who are NOT huge fans of superhero films. So, it's not all that surprising that I wasn't bowled over by the film like so many younger people I know. I am a 53 year-old man.and the target audience for "Deadpool" is much, much younger.
