"For me, The Hitman’s Bodyguard is the epitome of what a summer movie should be. There’s sufficient spectacle to satisfy the “wow!” factor, some hammy performances by actors in their wheelhouses, a half-dozen solid laughs, and a script that, if not likely to be called “clever” or “smart”, doesn’t demand a frontal lobotomy to be enjoyed." ...

"It’s exactly the movie it promises to be, but more so. It’s wilder, more hilarious, more giddily irresponsible — it’s the hard R action comedy that kids sneaking into it might imagine it’s going to be, minus Seventies- and Eighties-style nudity." ... Read full review

"An assembly line of ostensibly “hip” gestures and snarky attitude, The Hitman’s Bodyguard wants very badly to be a naughty, R-rated guilty pleasure. Nobody tell its makers that it’s mostly just mildly boring." ... Read full review

"The Hitman’s Bodyguard is strangely soulless, particularly for a movie that wants to be about murder, morality, and revenge. Those elements are there only to serve up the appearance of a smart film, when The Hitman’s Bodyguard would have been better served by sticking to pure action and stupid humor." ... Read full review

"The Hitman’s Bodyguard simply doesn’t put in the effort, with the result that almost every aspect of the film proves wildly irritating, from its central odd couple to the dubious green-screen work that regularly has them pulling nonchalant faces in front of exploding buildings." ...

The chemistry between the two leads (and with their respective love interests) is palpable, the comedy in general is on point, and the action is incredible! In my theater alone, there were belly laughs, people choking on their food, etc. Compared to the other action-comedies of 2017, this one stands head and shoulders above. Expand

Ryan Reynolds plays a bodyguard assigned to protect hitman Samuel L. Jackson, who's the chief witness against in an international trial. TheirRyan Reynolds plays a bodyguard assigned to protect hitman Samuel L. Jackson, who's the chief witness against in an international trial. Their trip to the Hague alternates between some pretty cool car chases (especially the one thru Amsterdam's canals), a few highly active but not special fights and too much talk. The interplay takes advantage of each actor's style: self-depreciating, offhand wry comments from Reynolds and profanity-laden, raucous attitude from Jackson. To make this work, the chemistry needs to be there…it's OK. Without their special delivery, the terse chatter would fall flat. Meanwhile, the bodyguard's relationship with his ex is trite and dull. Still, there's sufficient energy and a fun attitude that makes it passable, but quickly-forgotten summer action fluff. Expand

I didn’t enjoy the story and felt the writing had needed improving. The story itself was interesting but sometimes went off into a not so great direction. I enjoyed it sometimes, so it’s not horrible, but could have been way better than it is. Expand
