Regardless of its flaws, a stellar team-up mixed with some successful action sequences ultimately make this more fun than frustrating. Read more

A fun ride for fans of action comedies and/or Reynolds and Jackson, but both actors have funnier, more original films under their belts. Read more

I’d say this movie is still pretty fun to watch despite the usual clichés and inherent silliness... Read more

Not particularly amazing, and in some sense a bit of a waste of the two leads talents... Read more

Following a deceptively tricky formula of violence, humour, and pathos, The Hitman’s Bodyguard is forced to rely on the chemistry of its two leads.

This hodge-podge of a flick is sporadically entertaining, but is one I will struggle to remember in a couple of months time. Read more

The Hitman’s Bodyguard is an excellent movie to forget about daily routine life. It is dynamic, well developed, while some stunts were so insane I hope nobody got hurt during the process. Read more

Generic in terms of its plot and the tone seems to awkwardly shift between exciting/funny to needlessly dark/depressing.

The Hitman’s Bodyguard excels on the chemistry of its lead cast, notably Jackson, Reynolds and Hayek. There are plenty of laugh out loud moments that make up for the lack of spectacle. Read more

Fails to be either an original action film nor a satisfactory all-around comedy, it has its moments where both genres can shine... Read more

Coasts along on the chemistry of its main stars and the interesting moments are outweighed by the things you’ve seen before... Read more

Tries to be both a serious actioner and an outright comedy; together they feel like an alternation between two incompatible scripts. Read more

A bland experience that tries to coast on the charisma of its lead actors but fails to do so. Read more

Dat het verhaal niet heel bijzonder is moge duidelijk zijn, maar dat neemt niet weg dat The Hitman’s Bodyguard bij vlagen spannend is.

Zou je kunnen afrekenen, maar door de gouden chemie tussen hoofdrolspelers Ryan Reynolds en Samuel L. Jackson valt er vooral een hoop te genieten. Read more

Werkt niet echt als een komisch avontuur, maar ook niet als een serieuze actiefilm. Read more

Net voldoende f-bombs, onverhulde knipogen en hilarische oneliners van de twee leads, dus!

Deze film is jammer genoeg het schoolvoorbeeld van wat er mis is met komedies uit Hollywood. Read more
