Detective Pikachu
Being one of the few movies based on a videogame and actually turning out to be quite fun and good, Detective Pikachu was a breath of fresh air. With Reynolds voicing the fan-favourite Pokemon and Justice Smith being a great companion, this film really showcased the passion and world of this classic franchise.
Buried
A departure for Reynolds as he took on a more serious role compared to his other comedic ones, Buried was a tense 95 minutes. A survival film that focuses on a truck driver who finds himself buried in a coffin with only a few tools at his end, Reynolds truly knocks it out of the park as Paul Conroy.
Deadpool 2
A sequel that goes bigger, Deadpool 2 is a film that expanded the universe of Deadpool within Fox’s X-Men universe. With Cable (Josh Brolin) hunting for a child that will cause a lot of destruction in the future, Wade finds a more emotional side to him and does his best in doing the right thing. It’s a great time that will definitely have you in stitches.

A tragicomedy that focuses on high-stakes gambling, Reynolds and Ben Mendelsohn bring forward a chemistry that will definitely get into your list of favourite film duos. A character study at its core with some real heart behind it, Mississippi Grind is a film that will definitely serve you a good time.
Deadpool
Being a passion project for Reynolds, Deadpool was a huge success when it came out. Focusing on Wade Wilson as he turns into the Merc with a Mouth, Reynolds brings this iconic character to the screen that pretty much feels like a 1:1 with his comic book counterpart. Having all the fourth wall breaks and the violence of the character, this is by far Reynolds’ best work.
