This action-comedy is unnecessarily violent and has an uneven tone, but the comedic banter between Jackson and Reynolds is undeniable.
If only there was slightly less bloodlust and a less over-the-top body count, The Hitman's Bodyguard would have been a fine example of an odd-couple comedy bromance.
No one's performance is a stretch: Jackson is a quick-witted,
foul-mouthed, eyebrow-raising assassin who justifies his work,
a role he's been perfecting since Pulp Fiction, while
Reynolds is a sharp-tongued, super-detailed bodyguard who can't stop talking.
No surprises there, but there was no guarantee
the two stars would click, and they do.
The rest of the movie is bolstered by a funny supporting turn from Hayek, who plays Kincaid's beloved Sonia.
She calls her husband her cucaracha ("[b]****[/b]roach") because he's basically "unkillable." She's right.
The action sequences are nearly nonstop, and each shows how Kincaid is
the grim reaper, but with a gun instead of a scythe.
The parts of the movie featuring Oldman's irredeemable dictator, Dukhovich, are considerably less funny and should come with a trigger warning.
A leader who kills a man's wife and child in front of him and is responsible for genocide is a little too scary and realistic
for times when you'd be forgiven for hoping that
a buddy comedy would prove to be pure escapism.
