Flicker Fans I would like to take you on journey right now. I’d like to take you to a moment and place where all reasonable actions are tossed to the side. I’d like you take this time to really envision a place where super hitmen and even more super bodyguards exist. I’d like you to even take a moment and really think about why you’re going to watch this movie. It’s not just a matter of wanting to get a good laugh, a chuckle, a smirk or smile. But I want you to take a look and muster up the courage to go on an adventure with me. It’s the age old tale of, “bodyguard protecting an eye witness until he can testify.” This eye witness just happens to be an expert hitman. Yes, that story that mixes action, adventure, and the use of an aggressive, “mutha fu*ka” here and there, and of course romance. I’m talking about The Hitmans Bodyguard. Let’s dive in shall we.
(By the way, that was all sarcasm, and if you are having a hard time picking up on that, you might want to reconsider this review.)
The great Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction, The Hateful Eight), joins the always dreamy Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool, Waiting {yea I referred to him as dreamy, I’m comfortable with saying that}). Maybe sarcastic is a better way to refer to him, since he seems to completely OWN that type of character. They are also joined by the amazing Gary Oldman (who I didn’t even realize was in this movie until it started). Oldman shouldn’t need a list of “what he’s been in”, but in case you don’t know, The Professional and The Fifth Element. Also in this movie is Elodie Yung (Netflixs Daredevil, G.I Joe: Retaliation–hell I didn’t know that). Also starring was the amazing Salma Hayek (From Dusk till Dawn). Regardless, let’s get right to it shall we. Read more
