The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard

Its not often that I'd rate a comedy/action sequel better than the original, but this fantastically fun movie to buckle in and enjoy the ride. What a treat to see more of the relationship between Darius and Sonia (Samuel L Jackson & Salma Hayek). Salma Hayek adds so much, that I'd gladly take a bullet for her. Ignore the self appointed "professional" critics and just have some fun.

Why. Was. This. Made. I guess insanity? Cause why else take the least likable character in the first movie and make her the title.

Torn on this one as it has some good laughs but it felt like it was mostly ad libbed and Ryan Reynolds is just playing another version of deadpool. Good enough for a free watch.

Michael Bryce is still unlicensed and is taking a break from being a bodyguard until he is reinstated and gets his license back. "In two weeks I have to go in front of a tribunal and try to get my Triple-A rated license back." So he goes on vacation to relax, but when Darius Kincaid gets kidnapped, his wife Sonia Kincaid tracks Michael down and hires, well forces him to help her rescue Darius. "I need you to protect us. We're trying to have a baby." - Sonia They do save Darius but they are caught by Interpol and American agent Bobby O'Neil. Now they just happened to kill interpol's informant, so O'Neil makes them a deal that interpol is not happy about. "Let me do what we do in Boston, okay? You work with the bad guys to get the worse guys." - O'Neill They are to take the informant's place and stop Greek billionaire terrorist Aristotle Papadopoulos from destroying the European power grid. "They're planning a full-scale cyber attack. Do not screw this up." - O'Neill Well things do get screwed up, and there is a massive shootout. Things get even worse when they are are captured by Aristotle's henchmen. Now they are on their on and the clock is ticking. So we pick up were the first film left off. And the team is back together... plus Salma Hayek. Wow! Salma Hayek is so funny. What a fun movie!.... Again. I do hope there is a third film. Cast - Ryan Reynolds, Samuel L. Jackson, Salma Hayek, Antonio Banderas, Frank Grillo, Morgan Freeman, Caroline Goodall Warning - Strong Language & Violence

Not HORRIBLE, but there was CLEARLY a reason I hadn't heard about this sequel until now. Not as good as the first, this movie is (if at all possible) MORE crass and violent. Hayek, Jackson and Reynolds are all fine in this, and ultimately they elevate this beyond just garbage, but the baseline is pretty low. It is loud, crass and predictable, although there are a couple of quieter funny scenes (Freeman). Reynolds has done a couple of these horrible action flicks (6 Underground, Red Notice) that are just paint by the numbers, and this is probably the worst of them that I have seen.

Fake and exaggerated accents, too many shootings, too many deaths, no plot, every scene is more irritating and louder than the last. I would have preferred this to be a silent film. Everything in this movie has been seen before and is completely predictable. You might like it, watch the movie and see for yourself.

Definitely not as good as the first one though, it had its moments. Although Bryce's father was an out of the park surprise. Still, overall didn't capture the formula of the previous film. But as stated, it was decent in its own right.

This film is every bit as stupid and as fun as any action comedy starring a batshit Salma Hayek, eccentric Antonio Banderas, whiny Ryan Reynold and bullish Sam L Jackson should be. Only for casual viewing when you wanna waste some time.

Brilliant also I hope do eventually another like hopefully called it The Hitman Son Bodyguards

It's a superb pisstake, well-paced, just the right amount of self-awareness, with some excellent ‘laugh out loud' moments… loved it. Take it at face value. Selma Hayek is amazing… the lithium scene with Ryan Reynolds perfectly timed comic delivery. I don't know why this isn't rated higher… will watch again and again!
