The Hit-man's Bodyguard Film Review: Comedy for an Adult Audience.
Comedy action drama, set in London and Amsterdam. An odd couple (villain and protector) go on a kind of 'buddy road trip'.
Stars Ryan Reynolds, the 'bodyguard', a former world class security agent, a wise cracking meticulous planner, he gives us plenty of that familiar 'totally bemused' look he's famous for.
Samuel L Jackson, the 'hit-man', who is a 'mother-fvking' old school improviser.
Salma Hayek is Sam Jackson's very funny incarcerated girlfriend, who will only be released if Sam testifies when/if they make it to Amsterdam. She's excellent and steals every scene she's in.
Gary Oldman plays his usual cliché bad guy character.
The plot is the two heroes need to make the trip without either getting killed, they don't like each other to start with but a friendship grows. On their way there are plenty of car chases, shootouts and plenty of comedy.
I laughed pretty much throughout – Go see this comedy gem.
9/10.
