“Plot: The worldu0026#39;s top bodyguard gets a new client, a hit man who must testify at the International Court of Justice. They must put their differences aside and work together to make it to the trial on time.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is a very underrated action comedy, this is more of a throwback to 90s action comedies which I love to death. I just came out of the screening of this and canu0026#39;t wait to see it again and pay for it. The story is well told and well written. Ryan Reynolds gives his best performance as Michael Bryce (yes I like this more than Deadpool),Samuel L Jackson gives one of his best performances in a long time, I was worried because I thought he would go overboard with his famous curse word but he didnu0026#39;t and Iu0026#39;m glad. The supporting cast are also very good especially Gary Oldman reprising his Air Force One performance but not as over the top, Elodie Yung who was very likable, and Salma Hayek who is just as funny as Jackson. The action is mostly well handled especially the chase scenes which were very exciting and fun. The fight scenes were decent but they used too much shaky cam at times which are the main reason why I gave this an 8 and not a 9 along with them maybe cutting out 10 minutes but thatu0026#39;s it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall, The Hit-manu0026#39;s Bodyguard is a very good and underrated action comedy that deserves to be seen if youu0026#39;re a fan of 90s action comedies because this is a love letter to them. It has a good story, a good heart, mostly likable characters(you canu0026#39;t say that Jackson is likable along with Hayek but thatu0026#39;s the point.), really good action, and a good soundtrack. This is what I want Hollywood to make not a lot of the franchise movies, more movies like this which didnu0026#39;t need a big budget to be exciting. Go see it if you have a chance, you wonu0026#39;t regret it.”
