The Hitman's Bodyguard - 2/5

This movie is a stale action escort quest with nothing interesting to offer. Reynolds is the only one playing against type, this time taking the brunt of the jokes he’s usually dishing out. The humor is all acerbic, irreverent mocking which quickly becomes tiresome, though if that’s your brand of humor you will like this movie more than I did. The action is standard low-grade fare, offering fun at the expense of believability.

Closest comparison: It’s like A Good Day to Die Hard by way of Mission: Impossible II.

Setting: Action
Plot: Road Trip
Tone: Comedy
