IMDb plot summary: A bank teller discovers that he's actually an NPC inside a brutal, open world video game.
Directed by Shawn Levy. Starring Ryan Reynolds, Jodie Comer, Taika Waititi, and Lil Rey Howery.
There’s a lot of plot going on here, a lot more than this goofy premise actually warrants. It’s the film’s biggest failing, actually, that the conspiracy theory plot of the real world becomes far too clunky and starts taking over from what’s enjoyable about it: Ryan Reynolds’ naïve optimism as a character. It really does say something that Reynolds is so capable of playing both wide-eyed innocents like this and then also deeply jaded sociopaths like Deadpool and making them both funny. There are enough funny moments in this that I can say I had a good time, but there are definitely plenty of moments that slow it down as well.
