Reynolds is tasked with getting Jackson to a very important testimony that could help stop a genocidal maniac (played by Gary Oldman) from literally getting away with murder. Along the way he crosses paths with a former adversary, Jackson, who has almost killed him on numerous occasions. After he loses a very important client on his watch, he is forced to start from the bottom to earn back his title and reputation. The story follows Reynolds character that used to be a highly respected bodyguard for some of the most powerful and sometimes evil people around. Sadly, this movie was heavily advertised as a comedy and was instead a bland and below average action movie with the few jokes from the trailer being the only humor in the whole movie. the trailer for The Hitman’s Bodyguard was eye catching. This coupled with the fact that I’m also a sucker for a decent action comedy that looks like it can provide some laughs and neat action sequences, I was enthusiastic that the film might deliver. Jackson fan and someone who admits that Ryan Reynolds is beginning to grow on me following his agressively charismatic performance in Deadpool.
