kay 1st things 1st...if you can't handle the word motherfucker you should NOT watch this movie.
This movie is AMAZING!!! It's definitely deserved the blockbuster line. This one has it all! Action, humor, great story line, music!! Yes I even dare to say that this soundtrack is close to the Guardians Vol 2 soundtrack! Baby driver is nothing compared to the music they use in this one!
Swearing A LOT!! When I'm going to watch the movie again I'm going to count the amount of times the word "motherfucker" is used...cause it's quite a lot.
Personally I never get tired of hearing Samuel L. Jackson say that word, but some might think it is a bit over the top. Also Ryan Reynolds looks pretty damn hot in this movie...must be the beard and not the Deadpool look XD.

You know those action movies where they race cars through tiny streets, they prefer to do that in Paris a lot too...well get ready for a new city to blow your mind.. Amsterdam is here baby!!! I do hope no bikes were hurt during this movie cause ouch!! Although some scenes are a little over the top it still makes a great movie overall. Even the bad dutch accent is kinda cute in this movie, you can pick out who is Dutch, French and American..so cute XD.

It's kinda sad that this movie is only 118 minutes, you know a movie is good when you're sad it's over. The only thing I wasn't to fond over was the romantic aspect of the movie, it is needed sometimes but as most of the things they overdid that too, but hey if you're madly in love with someone you might not think it's too much.

This movie is a blockbuster for sure and should've been titled THE MOVIE OF THIS SUMMER!!! While it will probably not get any Oscars (Samuel L Jackson should just get one for using motherfucker! And Ryan Reynolds just for looking this hot!) it is definitely a movie you MUST SEE...unless you really can't handle swearing and a good action movie...please do not watch it then.
I give this movie 10 out 10!!!!

I know it's just an action comedy, but why couldn't they be a little more careful with the script? It really annoys me.

– Objection your honor, without any proof this is just hearsay.
– Sustained.
No. No way. Just no.
Hearsay is when you _hear_ somebody _say_ something (you can't testify on behalf of another person). It's not hearsay if you're a motherforking direct witness and one of the victims!!

– I don't need to remind you the importance of....
Well... if you don't need to, then don't do it!

– I present to you Darius Kincaid.
– But the deadline has passed!
– [Judge] I believe there are still some seconds left...
Yeah, right. Because if they had arrived 5 seconds later, they wouldn't have let him testify against the genocide criminal. I mean, you're 5 seconds late, it's the law, right?

– Yeah, go to FTP site Raven 247...
Oh well. In retrospect I think I've been nitpicking too much. The hearsay thing was nothing compared to this! They could have said Dropbox. My email. Youtube. This website. But no. FTP site Raven 247. Probably the most stupid computer thing I've heard since... I dunno, Swordfish, back in 2001?

Anyway. Other than the obviously predictable plot, and the really stupid bits (seriously, FTP site Raven... ouch!), it was a very enjoyable movie. Lots of crazy action scenes, pretty funny too, and a 5 stars cast. Well, 4 stars actually: Samuel L. Jackson, Ryan Reynolds, Gary Oldman and Salma Hayek.

For professional Bodyguard Michael Bryce (Ryan Reynolds), life is good. As an elite member of his craft, he is well paid and lives a very good life keeping high-profile targets safe the world over. When things unexpectedly take a turn we find Michael two years on having hit the skids and struggling to claw his way back to prominence in the new film “The Hitman’s Bodyguard”.
Things become complicated for Michael as a despotic tyrant named Dukhovich (Gary Oldman) is on trial for war crimes and countless atrocities, and is about to go free due to removing all those who would be able to testify against him with credible evidence.  That is with the exception of one Darius Kincaid (Samuel L. Jackson).  Darius is incarcerated but makes a deal to testify in exchange for his wife (Selma Hayek), being granted freedom.  Darius knows he is a marked man but takes the chance and under the watch of Interpol Agent Roussel (Elodie Yung), they set off.
Naturally things do not go as planned and the two find themselves fleeing for their lives with numerous deadly assassins hot on their heels.  Unsure who she can trust, Roussel calls in Michael even though they have some seriously unresolved issues about one another that destroyed their previous relationship. Further complicating matters is the history Michael and Darius share which makes them naturally hostile to one another.
Nevertheless, Michael and Darius set off to reach the courtroom but the imposed deadline and face numerous dangers and hilarious situations along the way.
Jackson and Reynolds work very well with one another and their banter and chiding comes across as very natural.  The jokes come more often than I expected but the film is very much an action film, and the sequences are intense, funny, and gripping, especially and extended chase and fight sequence along the canals and shopping district of Amsterdam.
While some may say that the film is just a variation on the Buddy Cop genre of old, the strong cast and the winning mix of jokes and action make the film a very pleasant surprise and one of my more enjoyable films of 2017. It was a highly-enjoyable thrill ride and one of the best films this summer.
If you are a fan of action, comedies, and the pairing of Jackson and Reynolds, do not miss this film.
4 stars out of 5.

_The Hitman's Bodyguard_ is getting absolutely flensed by the critics, including several of whom I personally value the opinion of very highly. But when it comes to _The Hitman's Bodyguard_, I gotta flat out disagree. It's not out here changing lives for the better, and it's hardly gonna ride out the year on a palanquin of Oscar nominations, but I had a seriously enjoyable time with The Hitman's Bodyguard. Jackson and Reynolds worked. The leads and their respective romantic entanglements worked. Most of all, director Patrick Hughes worked his ass of to blend comedy, action and romance and have it pay off. This isn't Hughes' best work though, if you want to see that, check out 2010's _Red Hill_.

_Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._

**Once upon a time two sworn enemies teamed up!**

Maybe the critics are right, but like usual, I don't have to agree with them. This is a nice film, not a great film as a few people lauding. It is entertaining. All the stunts were good, comedies were good enough, but the basic plot itself a cliche. Yes, anybody aged 20+ would surely have seen many similar storied films. It's just in another time with another cast and crew. They had promoted it so well. So the result was incredible. But in reality JUST one time watchable film with not expecting serious laughs.

Initially I thought it could be this year's 'The Nice Guys', and they are about to repeat the same magic of Crowe and Gosling duo. But it was different. Too hard hitting, just what Tarantino fans would like to have. Besides, their guy, Samuel L. Jackson is here. Both the leads were good. That does not mean they have saved the film. That's an assumption of fanboys. Luck could be another factor!

It was about a hitman in capture decides to give an important testimony in the International Criminal Court against a powerful man. So now the bad guys are after him in his every move from England to Holland. A demoted bodyguard takes the job to safely get him to his destination. Their journey begins where they are going to encounter a series of obstacles and they finally make it where a major twist comes in before the end.

As I said, this is no special, except the way they have presented on the screen makes the difference. But again, not all films are lucky in that criteria as this one. It is like one in a 20-25 films. So if your objective is timepass, then this will do just fine. There could be a sequel, probably prequel seems a nice idea. But I'm not sure whether I want it or not. I'll just be happy if they do!

_7/10_
