The interpretation of the film by Shawn Levy, co-produced and carried forward by Ryan Reynolds, is so historical. Violent, crude, chained together with meta-jokes fueled by black humor at a very fast pace, this friend movie of the MCU which also marks the return of Hugh Jackman in his character Glutton It now holds the honorary title of the biggest hit of all time for an R-rated film.
