Overall, I'd recommended this movie if you're a Reynolds or Jackson fan or if you want some good laughs without having to turn your brain on for a bit. It jarred so much it utterly distracted me and I've never made that complaint before. There were some action scenes towards the end of the film where the audio soundtrack was completely out of balance with the sound fx.
Honestly, I feel the blame lies more with miscasting than anything else. Her character was meant to be a tough FBI agent and she did not manage to portray that at all. Elodie Yung as Ryan's love interest was incredibly wooden and obviously so next to the much more experienced leads. As for the negatives, aside from the paper thin plot, some of the cast disappointed. Salma Hayek has a superb cameo and I would loved to have seen more of her, she was hilarious! Gary Oldman showed up and just blew everyone else off the screen as you'd expect from such a veteran. As an unlikely duo, in my opinion, they actually played off each other very well.
The story is pretty flat but these guys manage to keep it entertaining throughout. OK so it's definitely not a masterpiece and the best thing about it by far are it's stars, Reynolds and Jackson. The story is pretty flat but these guys manage to keep it entertaining I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this movie considering the poor reviews it's been getting. Go see it if you have a chance, you won't regret it.I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this movie considering the poor reviews it's been getting. This is what I want Hollywood to make not a lot of the franchise movies, more movies like this which didn't need a big budget to be exciting. It has a good story, a good heart, mostly likable characters(you can't say that Jackson is likable along with Hayek but that's the point.), really good action, and a good soundtrack. Overall, The Hit-man's Bodyguard is a very good and underrated action comedy that deserves to be seen if you're a fan of 90s action comedies because this is a love letter to them. The fight scenes were decent but they used too much shaky cam at times which are the main reason why I gave this an 8 and not a 9 along with them maybe cutting out 10 minutes but that's it. Watch The Hitmans Bodyguard, English Movie directed by Patrick Hughes, starring Ryan Reynolds, Samuel L. The action is mostly well handled especially the chase scenes which were very exciting and fun. The supporting cast are also very good especially Gary Oldman reprising his Air Force One performance but not as over the top, Elodie Yung who was very likable, and Salma Hayek who is just as funny as Jackson. Ryan Reynolds gives his best performance as Michael Bryce (yes I like this more than Deadpool),Samuel L Jackson gives one of his best performances in a long time, I was worried because I thought he would go overboard with his famous curse word but he didn't and I'm glad. I just came out of the screening of this and can't wait to see it again and pay for it. This is a very underrated action comedy, this is more of a throwback to 90s action comedies which I love to death.

They must put their differences aside and work together to make it to the trial on time. Plot: The world's top bodyguard gets a new client, a hit man who must testify at the International Court of Justice. Can the hitman's bodyguard carry through the most important mission in his career? - Nick Riganas Undoubtedly, it's a tough job, as the mismatched duo will have to put aside their grudges, and race against the clock in a non-stop concerto for bullets. The task seems simple: Bryce needs to transport him from point A to point B nevertheless, the trip to the Netherlands is long and hazardous, and Kincaid-as the only one with the guts and enough hard evidence to testify against a tyrannical Belarusian dictator-is an obvious target.
Under those circumstances, Bryce would do anything to prove his worth, and, before long, he accepts an offer from Interpol to escort the international assassin, Darius Kincaid, from Manchester to the Hague. With his reputation in tatters after the painfully unsuccessful delivery of a distinguished Japanese client, the former triple-A protection agent, Michael Bryce, is now reduced to a mere second-class bodyguard for hire, two years after the disgraceful incident.
