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

What i'm excited for - Movie edition #1 [Emz]

I though as I has posted about what i'm currently looking forward to on TV i'd post about movies also.

Now this film looks so funny. As it says above it is called The Hitman's Bodyguard.

The film features Ryan Reynolds as the Bodyguard and Samuel L. Jackson as the Hitman. Although when I see this I just picture Deadpool and Nick Fury (Marvel Reference haha) 

The film also stars Gary Oldman, Salma Hayek and Richard E. Grant. 

In the trailer it clearly shows that Samuel L. Jackson's character is not keen at call on having a Bodyguard, probably as he is a Hitman and he usually works for other people not the other way around.

Here is the Synopsis:

A special protection agent (Ryan Reynolds) is tasked with guarding the life of his mortal enemy, who is one of the world's most notorious hitmen (Samuel L. Jackson), and taking him from the United Kingdom to the International Court of Justice. On their way, they are on high-speed car chases and boat escapes as deadly assassins are pursuing them and they are forced to work together in order to defeat a ruthless, powerful and bloodthirsty Eastern European dictator (Gary Oldman).

Ok... so that explains a lot.

Anyway I am super excited to see this next weekend (26th August) for my birthday.

Fingers crossed it's as funny as it looks.

It is released on the 18th August.

Let me know if you watch it and let me know what you think.

Till next time
