The Hitman's Bodyguard is an American action comedy film directed by Patrick Hughes
Starring Ryan Reynolds, Samuel L. Jackson, Gary Oldman, Salma Hayek & Élodie Yung.
Michael Bryce who called himself a "AAA rated protection agent" is assigned a job of protecting a Japanese millionaire and safely escort him to the airport. You know what happens next. Two years later, Bryce got another job to protect a contract killer and they had a history to share.
Jackson and Reynolds combo makes this lousy movie somehow a watchable one. This film has everything that an action movie demands, still it falls short. Salma Hayek plays the abusive lover of Jackson's character and once again exploited her as a sex material. Gary Oldman's villain role was grounded and he acts like a confused boy. Most of the jokes in the movie don't hit the mark, Some works eventhough it's inconsequential in the plot. Overall, it would have been a good buddy movie if the story was interesting like 'The Nice Guys'.
Verdict: Average
