![]() ![]() This brings him into the orbit of a fugitive nicknamed Quiet (Stephanie Beatriz from Brooklyn Nine-Nine) who is doggedly pursuing her own mission of revenge. Things shift into overdrive when the leader of New San Francisco (a sly cameo by Neve Campbell) offers John a gig to drive all the way across the country to retrieve a mystery item and bring it back within 10 days. He is played so winningly by Mackie that when John literally clubs a seal pup in the opening episode – followed by a smash cut to a sizzling steak being tossed into a campfire pan – it comes across as funny rather than horrifying. Our guide to this lurid apocalypse is John Doe (Anthony Mackie), a “milkman” who survives by making risky, high-speed delivery runs between walled settlements in his extremely dope red Subaru.įor an orphaned kid who grew up alone surrounded by feral peril, the cocky, smart-mouthed milkman has developed a remarkably glass-half-full personality. In Twisted Metal’s dystopia there may not be any zombies to deal with, but, after 20 years without wifi, humanity has devolved into trigger-happy tribes of roaming cannibals, religious freaks, humourless militia, straight-up perverts and more. ![]() That means most of the world building happens at warp speed, cribbing from Mad Max, The Walking Dead, Snowpiercer and countless other post-cataclysm stories. The result is a hyperactive satire as broad as a sawn-off shotgun blast, delivered in 10 half-hour chunks. Thus, to me, Deadpool was a very pleasant surprise, I had fun watching it, and I intend to watch it again some time soon.Based on a gaudy PlayStation franchise that has been defunct for more than a decade, Twisted Metal takes the core concept of the games – an amped-up demolition derby between cars bristling with guns and missiles – and turns it into a daffy joyride across a lawless America. That really stifles creativity and that is why today we have so many movies with great ideas but poor realization. Nowadays many writers and directors are too worried about political correctness in their movies. That is why I see Deadpool as a refreshment. I am sorry, but if you want to make a serious combat-based movie and you make it without blood, than that movie will be all but serious. Related to that, I believe that many Marvel movies could have been far more successful if they didn't refrain from gory scenes. I grew tired of people thinking that movies based on comics are intended for children only. Therefore, it is not suitable for children. ![]() This movie is all about fun and entertainment, abundant with action, jokes, blood and foul language. The story of Deadpool isn't complex or profound - and it wasn't meant to be. But this movie is a comedy, where its main protagonist, Deadpool, should be perceived as a comedian, and Ryan Reynolds did an excellent job representing this character. I am aware that to many people (especially those unfamiliar with Deadpool comic or Marvel comics at all) this movie would seem too gory, unnecessary brutal and excessively violent. The Indian Blu-ray release is uncut (despite also showing an A certificate on the back cover).
