Killer's Bodyguard

A lot of good action, a lot of bad language and a few laughs. I guess I expected maybe a few more laughs, but this movie is fun, just very typical. Sam Jackson seemed like he was having a great time. An interesting/fun role for Salma Hayek as well.

Don't expect clever conversation, or a thoughtful plot line. It's just funny, action and it really works.

Reynolds and Jackson are brilliant. Of course the story line is a bit generic. It's far from being a classic, but decent enough to watch once. a few good laughs, some good (albeit far-fetched) action.

Ryan Reynolds in a buddy movie with Samuel Jackson!? As you can imagine I had very high hopes for this and they were expanded further by the trailer and brilliant promotion material including The Bodyguard (1992) spoof poster.

Within the first 15 minutes I was already appeased, Ryan Reynolds is one of those few guys who just has "It" the natural comedic timing, uncanny charisma and acting ability to boot.

The movie is charming, hilarious, action packed and riotous fun.

Also featuring Salma Hayek, Elodie Yung and briefly the highly underrated English legend Richard E Grant.

Yes it does follow a formula you'll be familiar with, you won't see anything you probably haven't seen before and it's very "Hollywood" but in this case that is just fine.

Competently made, brilliantly performed and with a kicking soundtrack to boot.

I dislike action films as a rule but some of the sequences even got my blood pumping and being a comedy action a witty quip would always follow.

Though not ground breaking The Hitmans Bodyguard is a great piece of fun cinema.

The Good:

Decent chemistry between leads

Ryan Reynolds is an entertainment god

Elodie Yung

Well crafted soundtrack

The Bad:

Clichéd and a tad predictable

Things I learnt from this movie:

Mother f**ker is beyond a catchphrase for Jackson now

Funny action movie that has a lot of swearing and guns. It is impressive and entertaining that the assassin/hitman has 93% accuracy and the bad guys have 9%. It could also be that the hitman is so good that he really doesn't miss nor get shot. Action packed, funny and worth your time.
