Movie Review:The Hitman's Bodyguard [Emz]

I finally got to see this film on Saturday and really enjoyed it.

The film stars Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L Jackson.

Here is the premise:

The world's top protection agent is called upon to guard the life of his mortal enemy, one of the world's most notorious hit men. The relentless bodyguard and manipulative assassin have been on the opposite end of the bullet for years and are thrown together for a wildly outrageous 24 hours. During their journey from England to the Hague, they encounter high-speed car chases, outlandish boat escapades and a merciless Eastern European dictator who is out for blood.

Review:

To be honest I needed a good laugh along with the action and that is what I got. Reynold's character is a Protection Agent who after the death of a Client loses his top ranking status. 

Following this a Hitman (Jackson) is being taken to Brussles to the Hague to give evidence in a case against an evil European Dictator. 

Reynold's Character ends up protecting him after an Interpol Agent discovers a leak within the agency.

So they end up travelling from the UK to Brussels via The Netherlands and they are being pursued every step of the way.

The funny thing I found was, after just finishing watching Marvel's The Defenders, who should pop up in this film but the Actress who played Elektra, Élodie Yung.

The film also starred Gary Oldman as Vladislav Dukhovich, a merciless dictator of Belarus, Salma Hayek as Sonia Kincaid and Richard E. Grant as Seifert.

I would recommend this film as the cast are brilliant and all the funny bits link in to the action also. By the end of it I was no longer picturing Deadpool and Nick Fury.

Hope you enjoyed the review.

If you have seen this film, let me know what you thought.

Till next time
