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.

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

Just watched a sneak preview of The Hit-man's Bodyguard. I had high expectations given the cast of Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L Jackson. The movie exceeded these expectations! Over the top comedy and action -- best combination since Deadpool last year. Definitely worth watching!

I'm a long-time IMDb user, but this movie was so good, I felt I needed to get an IMDb login so I could review it!

Top movie I've seen this year, edging out Baby Driver!

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.

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.

Wow, I was so impressed with this movie. I will admit that the first 20 minutes were pretty generic for me and I found myself thinking, "This is pretty much what I expected, but it's a free screening so just enjoy it." However, once Reynolds and Jackson team up on the screen the entire chemistry of the movie changes and it ended up being one of the funnest "buddy cop" movies I've seen in quite a while. (I know it technically isn't a buddy cop movie, but it really is for all intents and purposes.) The movie doesn't take itself seriously (were you really expecting that with Reynolds and Jackson?!), and just like any modern action/comedy the plot isn't meant to be something like Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. This movie is 100% worth spending the cash to go see in the theater with a group of people. I can also tell you this, the atmosphere leaving the theater was great; this movie is a lot of fun!

Pulp fiction meets deadpool, not as intense as both films, but a great watch and very funny. Sarcasm all the way.

The Hit-man's Bodyguard is a movie I never knew I wanted to see until I saw the first trailer. I was instantly hooked, and couldn't wait to see it on opening day. Well, I actually got a bit lucky for once as I was invited to see the movie almost two weeks before it opened. And I gotta say, it's one of the best action/comedy movies I've watched in quite a while...perhaps since Deadpool.

So what's this movie about? Well, it's about a guy (Ryan Reynolds) who used to run a protection agency before he lost a client and his business failed, forcing him to become a personal bodyguard. He is tasked by an Interpol agent to get a witness who is a former assassin (Samuel L. Jackson) to a courthouse to testify against a dictator. Craziness ensues.

While the story sounds interesting, it plays out in a pretty typical and predictable way. Not that I should have expected much more. It is an action/comedy film, after all. But predictability aside, the story does get the job done. Yeah, you'll be able to figure out how the film will end within the first 30 minutes or so, but that's not all that important, because it's all about the journey to that very predictable, and satisfying, ending. And boy, the adventure that Samuel L. Jackson and Ryan Reynolds go on is extremely entertaining.

Being a comedy, you'd expect some good comedy in this film, right? Well, The Hit-man's Bodyguard delivers on that expectation and then some. Once you get past the movie's slow start, it's pretty much an all you can chuckle buffet. (The chemistry between Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson is incredible!) Of course there are a few jokes that fall flat, but they are few and far between. Oh yeah, if you're a fan of Deadpool humor, you'll really like this movie. It's not full-blown Deadpool, but it's pretty damn similar.

Now, the biggest surprise for me with this movie is how great the action sequences are. The team behind this film definitely drew some influence from movies like John Wick and Jason Bourne for both the combat scenes and the chase scenes. They're riveting, with some great humor sprinkled in.

Overall, The Hit-man's Bodyguard is one of the biggest surprises of the year so far for me, and will definitely go down as one of the most enjoyable films of the year. It's funny, it's action packed, and the story is interesting enough to keep it all moving towards a satisfying conclusion. So yeah, I guess you could say it's pretty dang good. Go see it when it comes out on August 18th.

2017's summer blockbusters fizzle to a halt with this formulaic action comedy. Ryan Reynolds ("Deadpool") plays Michael Bryce: a cocksure "Triple A rated" bodyguard, always planning three steps ahead so that he can protect his clients without killing anyone in the process. With such arrogance, a fall is inevitable. On the other side of the legal scales is Darius Kincaid (Samuel L Jackson,  "The Hateful Eight"), a contract killer who always gets his man. But the incarcerated Kincaid is offered a deal to release his equally incarcerated wife Sonia (Selma Hayek) in return for testifying against the fearsome Belarus president Vladislav Dukhovich (Gary Oldman, "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes"), on trial for war crimes at The Hague. An Interpol team led by Bryce's's ex-squeeze Amelia Roussel (the striking Elodie Yung) now have to get Kincaid to Belgium unscathed with Dukhovich's well-trained and well- armed thugs stopping at nothing to ensure he won't be there to testify. Fate transpires that Bryce and Kincaid become an unlikely team in trying to bring Dukhovich to justice. 

This is a movie whose script seems to have been glued together from a patchwork of other movie scenes:

• the bad guy / bad guy partner relationship of "The Nice Guys". Check.

• the street ambush of "Clear and Present Danger". Check.

• the Amsterdam boat chase of "Puppet on a Chain". Check.

• the comedic bar-room brawl from "Airplane". Check.

Many of the action scenes are done with panache and some great stunt work. But it's all stuff we've seen countless times before, so what is needed for differentiation is the relationships between Bryce and Kincaid: this needs to be the cornerstone of the film. But it just doesn't quite work. Jackson's contribution is never in doubt, even though we've seen this motherf-ing shtick  countless times before: he's still magnetic, charismatic and a joy to watch. But unfortunately Reynolds just doesn't deliver the acting goods to make the banter believable: there is a reason "Deadpool" is his best film - he wears a mask for most of it! His 'puppy-dog look' gets rolled out multiple times, but it's unconvincing in the extreme. Together they are no match for Gosling/Crowe in "The Nice Guys".

On firmer ground is the quirky relationship between Mr and Mrs Kincaid. Although sharing limited screen time together, Hayek and Jackson spark off each other wonderfully. Seeing Selma Hayek in uncharacteristically sweary and belligerent mode was highly entertaining (although it's worth commenting that my wife took great offence to the 'comic' bullying of an overweight cellmate).

Elsewhere in the acting roll call, Elodie Yung delivers just the right measure of cuteness, toughness and passion as Roussel, but Oldman delivers a full-on retread of his Ivan "Get off my plane" Korshunov from "Air Force One". There is also a change to Oldman's character's face at the end of the film in the form of a rampant skin complaint which is 'explained' by a clumsily inserted news item about an "attempted poisoning": it's such a clunky and bizarre addition to the script that it made me wonder whether the actor has some unexpected ailment (like shingles) during filming.... but I can see nothing related to this online.  

The screenplay by relative newcomer Tom O'Connor bumps along from implausible action scene to implausible action scene, with more that its fair share of 'WTF' moments. For example, after a random chase through multiple Amsterdam alleys and shops, Jackson pulls up outside the very DIY shop Reynolds ends up in to pick him up! The script is also tonally uneven throughout: given this is supposed to be an "action comedy" the action is often brutal and unpleasant and the comedy - in the main - just not funny enough. (About the funniest thing in the film are the most ineffective sub machine guns known to man, most notably in the mildly ludicrous, if well staged, boat chase scene!) 

The film also manages to offend, in more ways than the 15-rated violence and language used: I'm not sure WHEN this movie was actually filmed, but the use of an articulated lorry as a terrorist weapon towards the end of the film is certainly in very poor taste after the events of Nice, London and Barcelona. Not appreciated.

Directed by Patrick Hughes ("The Expendables 3".... say no more) this hodge-podge of a flick is sporadically entertaining, but is one I will struggle to remember in a couple of months time.

Honestly, this movie was a let down. I love Ryan Reynolds, to the point that I'm very biased. I was bored throughout this movie.

The premise is somewhat close to Safe House (2012). Not exact by any means, but close enough that it made me draw comparisons within the first 30 minutes and from that point on, I just kept wanting to stop the movie and turn on Safe House.

I'm not lying. The movie had its moments, but more often than not,I thought it was ridiculous in a bad way and never all that good. Safe House is a movie that has Ryan Reynolds protecting a highly valuable, highly capable target, and is exponentially better.

The problem with this movie, is it is so ridiculous, it is supposed to be funny, however there is only a handful of times that actually made me laugh out loud. More often than not, it seemed to try to take itself seriously, especially when it shouldn't have.

The gun play tried to portray itself as realistic, but fell very short. At times the characters were so amazing they could pull off ridiculous shots with no effort, then couldn't hit the broadside of a barn. While the movie wasn't horrible, it wasn't great. It made me think of better movies that I wanted to watch, while hoping better moments came. Occasionally a better moment would come... I'd laugh out loud (genuinely!) and then it'd pass, leaving me bored again.

You won't hate yourself for watching, but you won't be happy about it either. 5/10

Tough brutal action comedy, you might think The Hit-man's Bodyguard was written by Shane Black, creator of the Lethal Weapon films.

Ryan Reynolds is Michael Bryce, a strictly by the book executive bodyguard for the rich and famous who lost his triple A rating when his wealthy client got killed while he was meant to protect him.

Samuel L Jackson is Darius Kincaid, a dangerous contract killer who lives on his wits and luck.

Kincaid is due to go to The Hague to be a star witness at the war crimes tribunal against the dictator of Belarus (Gary Oldman) but his Interpol protectors are attacked and Bryce is called in to assist him.

Much of action takes place in England and Amsterdam. The language is coarse, Reynolds and Jackson make a good team but this is not a very original film as you think of movies such as Midnight Run and Lethal Weapon. Jackson does his usual MF shtick and Oldman just reprises his villain from Airforce One.

Parts of the movie is ridiculously contrived such as Jackson just driving up to the hardware store after Reynolds kills a henchman.

Action, laughter, and epicness are all that the duo of Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson deliver in the film "Hard to Handle," directed by Patrick Hughes, a master of action films known for films like "Red Hill" and "The Expendables 3," both of which are pure action. However, this one is different from his other projects because it incorporates a comedy element.

This film tells the story of Michael, played by Ryan Reynolds, a world-renowned bodyguard until one of his clients dies and his career is destroyed. Years later, an Interpol agent needs his support protecting Darius Kincaid, played by Samuel L. Jackson, a murderer who is temporarily released from prison to testify in the trial of Vladislav Dukhovich, a corrupt politician from Belarus. The latter will do everything possible to ensure that Darius doesn't make it to court, since if he does, he'll lose the case.

This film is obviously not new to the genre. There are already several films with similar duos, such as "Bad Boys," "Blind Spy," or "Ride Along the Way," where one is a comedy and the other an actioner. The downside to these films is that the action is often overshadowed by the comedy, which is why these films end up being PG-13. However, this film is rated B-15 because they managed to understand and achieve an exceptional balance between action and comedy, with very well-planned choreography and very well-executed scenes.

In this film, the star actors play the same roles they always do: Ryan Reynolds plays the role of an action figure who handles sarcasm, Samuel L. Jackson is an action machine, and Salma Hayek plays a Latina woman with a few stereotypes. The acting is fine, as it's what they know how to do, but it's not the big novelty or change in this production.

In conclusion, this film is good, but not great. Although it has very well-done action scenes and the jokes don't feel forced at any point, the performances don't disappoint. However, I would recommend watching it in English or with subtitles, since the dubbing isn't that good.

I enjoyed the movie to a point and it was a good combination of Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L Jackson. The bad thing is, I don't enjoy knowing what is going to happen and how things are going to work out before I am even half way through the movie. Everything that was done in this movie has been done in hundreds or even thousands of other movies. It's a middle of the road action movie with a few good laughs as you would expect from Ryan and Samuel, but it is no doubt nothing ground breaking. Entertaining for the time it runs, but very forgettable and will never become a classic.

I just saw a preview of "Hitman's Bodyguard" last night with my wife. We are both fan's of action and comedy and went into this hoping it would be as good as we hoped from the actor's involved. I am a HUGE Sam Jackson fan and an equally big Ryan Reynolds fan. I'm glad to say that this movie did not disappoint!

I would've given this movie a 10 if only voting on the action and comedy but there were a couple of plot points that were slightly predictable. I don't feel these couple of things hurt the movie much due to what the movie is being advertised as, which is an action comedy and this is by far where it shines. I laughed harder during some scenes of this movie than I've laughed in a long time during a movie. The last I remember laughing harder is last year during "Deadpool".

If you like lots of action and great comedy with actors with plenty of chemistry and don't mind a significant amount of f-bombs, which if you're a Sam Jackson fan I'm guessing you don't, then drop some cash for a ticket. You won't be disappointed!!

Initially then I didn't have much of any expectations to a movie such as this. Why? Well, take a look at the synopsis and take a look at the cast. So you pretty much know what this will turn out as.

And those impressions were very much brought to life on the screen. Because this turned out to be a very, very stereotypical storyline for an action comedy of this sort. No surprises or anything that will impress you the least in any way. Everything here just runs on a carefully laid track, which made it all generic and predictable.

With that being said, don't get me fully wrong. Because I was entertained for sure, and for an action comedy of this type it actually was enjoyable enough. But it is the type of movie where you just disconnect your brain and lean back in the seat to enjoy the ride.

There is a lot of action throughout the movie, and they managed to choreograph and execute the action sequences quite nicely and that carried the movie quite well.

However, what most of this movie actually is was mostly banter between Samuel L. Jackson and Ryan Reynolds, which does tend to wear a bit thin in the long run.

I gave this movie such a high mark because it made me laugh like I haven't laughed in a while at a movie. It does not have an intricate plot-line, it is predictable but has great lines.

I will say this. With any other actors than Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson this would have been a flop. You can see the humor that Reynolds has in Deadpool and that Jackson has in Django Unchained here. I think this is what I liked the most.They also have great chemistry together, I personally would not have guessed this, but now it makes a lot of sense.

It has interesting action scenes. I personally am not really into that so it makes no difference to me, but they seem pretty good.They also don't go overboard to make it not credible, but exaggerated enough that it is funny.

It is easy, it does not make you think a lot afterwards but it entertains you and I think this was the role of this film.

Hope you enjoy this movie as much as I did.

I left theater thinking average (5 of 10) but my family apparently enjoyed it more and said 7-8 so I bumped up this review to 6. Plenty foul-mouthed humor so be prepared. Action scenes almost James Bod-like unrealistic but entertaining. There is definitely a chemistry between Jackson and Reynolds where I could see them hooking up for future projects.

Hayek definitely showed range and some action star potential (but we probably should accept it was most likely body double/stunt women).

Plot ridiculous and law enforcement made to look less competent which always is sad for them. Even military involvement looked rookie like which is designed to make stars (and worse, the "Bad Guys) look more capable and society is at their mercy, sigh...

Don't expect much and just enjoy for entertainment; ideally you'll go to matinée so you can accept mediocrity provided.

If you're looking for deeply developed characters, a multi-dimensional plotline, or analogies that make you re-evaluate society and your place in it, then this is not your movie. If you're looking for an extremely entertaining movie with legendary action scenes and some hilarious one-liners between two actors that you would love to invite for more than a few cocktails, then this is your movie. Don't think too much. Watch this movie and enjoy it for what it is.

If you have leisure time... you can watch this movie..

This is a straight line story...

Acting awesome. Graphics good.

Sounds are good.

Dialogues are average.

This movie is boring and long.

It has nonstop nonsense noisy boring-as-hell dialogue.

It has nonstop nonsense noisy car-chasing scenes.

It has nonstop nonsense plot....actually scratch that...it has no plot at all.

It just has some characters who scream about absolutely nothing.

It has characters that I couldn't care less about. I wanted them all to get blown up and die to end the movie.

It's no wonder I mainly watch TV shows these days.

So many movies are like this movie - imbecilic, long, loud, annoying, and did I mention long?

If I have one word to describe this movie, it would be PATHETIC.

I give this film a 7 because it was pretty light on story and almost in the B category, but Jackson and Reynolds are super funny together and Salma Hayek's character was ridiculously hilarious. She really made me laugh because I've never seen her do this type of character. There's no big meaning in this film. Great mindless summer film.
