Ryan Reynolds is a bodyguard who takes on a hit man (Samuel L. Jackson) as a client in this buddy action-comedy from the director of The Expendables 3. Co-stars Gary Oldman and Salma Hayek.
The world's top bodyguard (Reynolds) gets a new client (Jackson), a hit man who must testify at the International Court of Justice. They must put their differences aside and work together to make it to the trial on time.
Two renegade, maverick, lovable rogue types must overcome the urge to kill each other in order to kill a bunch of dudes, all in order to stop some other people being killed and ensure a bad guy is brought to justice for killing heaps of people. Oh and they've both got to win back their better halves in the process, too.
Full reviewThe whole film feels slightly grubby and low-res, like it's been languishing in private mode on the filmmakers' pre-HD YouTube page since 2008.

'The Hitman's Bodyguard' is not exactly killing it, but coasts on the charisma of its central stars.

Shamelessly apes [Shane] Black's style and rhythms, while lifting a fair whack of Midnight Run's storyline.

Reynolds and Jackson make this summer lunacy go down easy with their banter and bullet-dodging skills. They're the only reason this R-rated action comedy doesn't sink into the generic quicksand from whence it came.
