The movie starts out very well, albeit a bit cliche. Some fun chemistry between main characters, mystery and a pretty good reveal. There is some heart to it and both main characters are likable and relatable in their development. The midway point starts to get a bit lackluster and the storyline doesn't do much for suspense or twist or anything like that. Action sequences are not bad though as with many modern action movies with skinny chicks, some of Ana's character's scenes are as believable as Black Widow from Marvel. Both characters remain likable throughout, but the 3rd act feels rushed and a bit disappointing. The ending does provide some saving grace to make it just likable enough. Worth the watch.!

The shows premise is a direct rip off of Schwarzenegger's 1987 film, "The Running Man" except it doesn't have the amazing Arnold Schwarzenegger. Many characters are direct derivatives from that show, and they are poorly portrayed by unknown "actors" and "actresses". Ultimately the storyline is mundane and incredibly predictable. Acting by any of the main characters is poor at best, and Michael Madsen needed more sarcastic screen time, which he doesn't get. The set must have cost less than the arena for American Gladiators, and the action sequences were choreographed by a 12 year old boy. Skip it.

This review is soooo late to the game, my bad. Watched this again due to the Wolverine movie, and I gotta say I'm glad I didn't review before. This one is NOT as good as Deadpool and Wolverine. Though, seeing much more of Morena in this one does give it a boost.! This is over the top vulgar humor at a level only Ryan Reynolds could do. Its an origin story that doesn't bore us to death and gets us excited for what's to come. There is some heart here, but its playfully pushed aside in Deadpool fashion. We really are a part of the film with 4th walls being broken regularly... Have fun with it, don't let your kids see it, and binge the whole trilogy...
