About this movie

The world’s top protection agent (Ryan Reynolds) is called upon to guard the life of his mortal enemy, one of the world’s most notorious hit men (Samuel L. Jackson). The relentless bodyguard and manipulative assassin have been on the opposite end of the bullet for years, and are thrown together for a wildly outrageous 24 hours. During their raucous and hilarious adventure from England to the Hague, they encounter high-speed car chases, outlandish boat escapades, and a merciless Eastern European dictator (Gary Oldman) who is out for blood. Salma Hayek joins the mayhem as Jackson’s equally notorious wife.

How can a film with such a fine cast be so incredibly dull?! Could barely get 40 minutes into this film before I stopped watching. This should have been a dream partnership, with Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L Jackson, but instead was just so mediocre. Very disappointing.

If it wasn't for the excellent cast & their superb performances, it might have been a mediocre unfunny attempt at a satirical action film.... Fortunately, it's elevated to excellence by those factors, assuming you don't try to take it seriously 😎
