What kind of watch this is
David Leitch directs this 120-minute action comedy, pairing Ryan Reynolds’ mercenary with Josh Brolin’s antagonist. The tone is loud, violent, and relentlessly self-aware. It treats its own genre conventions as punchlines rather than rules. You will not see a quiet moment until the credits roll. The humor relies on the audience already knowing exactly how a superhero movie is supposed to look. It is a film that knows you know.
What the critics said
Rotten Tomatoes tallies 83% positive reviews. Metacritic assigns a 66, which its own system labels generally favorable. The consensus leans on charm. Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times called it "wicked, dark fun." Not everyone bought the joke. David Edelstein of New York found the one-liners mechanically repetitive, comparing the delivery to a tennis-ball launcher. It is a verdict for fans who prefer their meta-commentary to actually comment on something.
How it did with audiences
It cost $110 million and took in $786 million worldwide, a figure that turns a loud, profane stunt into a solid corporate victory. In the United States, audiences handed over $325 million, proving that people will pay to hear a guy talk to a camera for two hours. Deadline Hollywood calculated the net profit at $235.4 million, ranking it the 7th most profitable release of 2018. The math works out, which is rarer than it should be.
