Parents advised reading before viewing the film as some scenes may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.

Sex & Nudity: rude sexual references to masturbation, strippers, and virginity.

A woman says to a man "you're so hot".

Violence & Gore: Incredibly stylized over-the-top science-fiction violence: stabbings, shooting, explosions, car chases/crashes, fighting, characters on fire, etc.

Lots of people get shot/killed throughout this movie but hardly any blood at all throughout the whole thing. A very tame movie when it comes to violence. People get comically hit by cars and smashed into walls quite a bit but no blood is ever shown.

Profanity: A single use of the word "fuck" and another use of "motherfucker" but is cut before the word is fully said. Other uses of "shit" & "Scheisse" (German for "s--t"), "ass/asshole" "damn/goddamn", "hell," "balls," "biatch" (comedic version of "bitch), "d--k," & "idiot.

Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: There's a reference to drinking beer towards the beginning but that's about as far as alcohol or drugs go in this movie. Nothing else throughout the rest of the film.

Frightening/Intense Scenes: None

Story: A bank teller discovers that he's actually an NPC inside a brutal, open-world video game, his journey in discovery takes a hilarious turn into chaos and love.

Likes: As the original film gets this has to be the best I've seen so far with great moments of laugher mixed with real-world content that involves popular YouTubers as well is a great concept to have for this movie.

Special when the Film is based on an Open world gaming where an NPC name is guy played brilliantly by Ryan Reynolds who give a very hilarious moment throughout the film, the onscreen chemistry with the beautiful Jodie Comer who plays Millie giving a brilliant performance a kind of a love interest, which both Ryan and Jodie carried the film giving great moments of laughter and heartwarming concept. 

The film did raise my expectations, as from the trailer it does make the film look genric, but upon watching this film I was pleasantly surprised how well made this film is and how funny and outright hilarious moments this film gives, with a few cameos and a lot of nods to certain games really bring this movie world out.   

I loved that fact this movie takes itself into the player side which was absolutely hilarious not just because of the dialogue, it the fact this happens a lot to most gamer's lives, which gave it a funnier tone because it is so true.  Lil Rel Howery playing buddy was a really great performance playing the friend of guy, as well as cameos from Channing Tatum and Chris Evens really give some of the comedy moments which added to the film all-around best moment, as well as Taika Waititi giving a funny performance really gave this movie what it needed.

This is a film I can highly recommend watching if you're looking for a laugh 

Dislikes: The only little issue with this film is a few pace issues but the film as a whole is great.

Overall:  Hilarious, entertaining, great performances. great chemistry between Ryan and Jodie  

Rating: 5 out of 5 for Entertainment / 9 out of 10 for an original film
