“Kincaid” (Samuel L. Jackson) is slated to give crucial evidence against Belorussian megalomaniac “Dukhovich” (Gary Oldman) who is in custody in Holland but who has every intention of wiping out this witness. Meantime, AAA private security man “Bryce” (Ryan Reynolds) has been drafted in to escort this man to the court, preferably alive, and so the scene is set. The pair aren’t exactly pals, but when the dastardly “Ivan” (Yuri Kolokolnikov) and his henchmen start to take potshots at them, leaving carnage behind them in London and Amsterdam, our duo have to get their act together and start co-operating else they will be toast. There’s a good chemistry here between these two and for about an hour the dialogue is lively and sarcastically entertaining as they leap from frying pan to fire. Then, though, the thing starts to recycle itself and look like an edition of Ryan and Sam wreck Europe. There are loads of pyrotechnics, car chases, shoot ‘em ups and I’m not sure the canals have seen quite so much action since “Mrs. Whistler” went one-way diving in 1971. It delivers what it says in the tin; allows two charismatic gents to have some fun proving their own immortality whilst getting freq

**Once upon a time two sworn enemies teamed up!** Maybe the critics are right, but like usual, I don't have to agree with them. This is a nice film, not a great film as a few people lauding. It is entertaining. All the stunts were good, comedies were good enough, but the basic plot itself a cliche. Yes, anybody aged 20+ would surely have seen many similar storied films. It's just in another time with another cast and crew. They had promoted it so well. So the result was incredible. But in reality JUST one time watchable film with not expecting serious laughs. Initially I thought it could be this year's 'The Nice Guys', and they are about to repeat the same magic of Crowe and Gosling duo. But it was different. Too hard hitting, just what Tarantino fans would like to have. Besides, their guy, Samuel L. Jackson is here. Both the leads were good. That does not mean they have saved the film. That's an assumption of fanboys. Luck could be another factor! It was about a hitman in capture decides to give an important testimony in the International Criminal Court against a powerful man. So now the bad guys are after him in his every move from England to Holland. A demoted bodyguard takes th

_The Hitman's Bodyguard_ is getting absolutely flensed by the critics, including several of whom I personally value the opinion of very highly. But when it comes to _The Hitman's Bodyguard_, I gotta flat out disagree. It's not out here changing lives for the better, and it's hardly gonna ride out the year on a palanquin of Oscar nominations, but I had a seriously enjoyable time with The Hitman's Bodyguard. Jackson and Reynolds worked. The leads and their respective romantic entanglements worked. Most of all, director Patrick Hughes worked his ass of to blend comedy, action and romance and have it pay off. This isn't Hughes' best work though, if you want to see that, check out 2010's _Red Hill_. _Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._
