"My job is to keep you out of harm's way."

 "Shit, motherfucker. I am... harm's way."

SYNOPSIS:

Micheal Bryce (Ryan Reynolds) works as a bodyguard and under certain circumstances, he finds himself having Darius Kincaid (Samuel L Jackson), a pro hitman, as his client. 

Now, if you have watched many of Ryan and Samuel's individual movies, you would definitely know what to expect from this one. Ryan is famous for his foul words filled rants and Samuel is known for being a badass motherfucker. Put them together and you have a very funny interaction between these two, which is the best thing about this movie. Seriously, most of their lines manage to crack me up. This movie is definitely funny. 

Besides that, the action scenes are over the top and awesome. I enjoy every single car chase, every bullet trade, every hand to hand combat in this movie. Besides awesome, some of the actions are also funny to watch. 

An icing on the cake is the addition of romantic gestures of the main characters to their love interests. No, not towards each other. Don't read that wrong. Amelia Rousel played by Elodie Yung provides a nice backstory on how Micheal Bryce ends up being desperate enough to accept Kincaid as a client while Salma Hayek's Sonia Kincaid provides the story on how Darius wound up being in jail despite of his notorious reputation as a hitman. 

Seriously, the story is nicely written as every reason of how the characters end up connected to each other is explained effectively (though not in a straight lined manner). Don't get me wrong, the plot is not that mindblowing but I just want to say that it's a good one. Again, not Inception kind of mindblowing but the story is nice. 

This movie really reminds me of The Nice Guys (2016) where the story is typical but the movie is a success because of the funny interaction between the two main characters. But I also think that The Hitman's Bodyguard is slightly better than The Nice Guys because there are more engaging action scenes. 

4 out of 5 stars!
