Een onopvallende bodyguard moet ervoor zorgen dat een kroongetuige, die ook nog een wispelturige moordenaar is, in leven blijft om tegen een wrede dictator te getuigen
Onze opinie:
Ryan Reynolds en Samuel L. Jackson is een buddy-actiefilm die zowat alle clichés van het genre aanboort en daarnaast eigenlijk weinig origineels bevat. De lange achtervolging, de “plotwending”, de flauwe grappen, allemaal present! Zoek je niets meer, dan is dit gewoon een degelijke invulling van je verwachtingen. Maar ook niet meer.
The Hitman's Bodyguard (2017)
Action, Comedy, Thriller | 118min | 17 August 2017 (Netherlands)
6.9


Director: Patrick HughesWriter: Tom O'ConnorStars: Ryan Reynolds, Samuel L. Jackson, Gary OldmanSummary: With his reputation in tatters after the painfully unsuccessful delivery of a distinguished Japanese client, the former triple-A protection agent, Michael Bryce, is now reduced to a mere second-class bodyguard for hire, two years after the disgraceful incident. Under those circumstances, Bryce would do anything to prove his worth, and, before long, he accepts an offer from Interpol to escort the international assassin, Darius Kincaid, from Manchester to the Hague. The task seems simple: Bryce needs to transport him from point A to point B; nevertheless, the trip to the Netherlands is long and hazardous, and Kincaid--as the only one with the guts and enough hard evidence to testify against a tyrannical Belarusian dictator--is an obvious target. Undoubtedly, it's a tough job, as the mismatched duo will have to put aside their grudges, and race against the clock in a non-stop concerto for bullets. Can the hitman's bodyguard carry through the most important mission in his career?
