The Hitman’s Bodyguard is, perhaps unsurprisingly, a film that finds itself sitting comfortable in the mid-level arena of modern day action films. With its set pieces neither impressive nor poor, it lacks the rhythm and visual artistry found in films like John Wick, Atomic Blonde, or The Raid, and feels more related to over-the-top, goofy '90s action flicks like Broken Arrow or Bad Boys. But much like director Patrick Hughes’ previous film, The Expendables 3, the film’s set pieces turn out to be little more than obstacle courses for the film’s stars to run through.
While over half the run time in The Hitman’s Bodyguard is dedicated to a series of chaotic and ridiculous action sequences, the other half of the film is all about quick cuts to Samuel L. Jackson and Ryan Reynolds constantly arguing and yelling at each other, usually about who’s the better killer of the two. It’s important then to go into The Hitman’s Bodyguard with the right expectations, knowing that your whole enjoyment of the movie will rest and die on how much fun you think you can have watching Jackson and Reynolds spar verbally and physically for almost two hours.
