The Hitman's Bodyguard / Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard

The Hitman’s Bodyguard (2017)

With his high-end commissions drying up after a botched assignment, security expert Michael Bryce (Ryan Reynolds) needed his reputation salvaged. That’s why he agreed to safely shepherd an old nemesis--professional assassin Darius Kincaid (Samuel L. Jackson)--to the Hague, where he’s to testify in the war crimes trial of an Eastern European dictator (Gary Oldman). Bryce has his hands full, as much with his charge as those who want him silenced, in this unabashedly old-school action farce. Salma Hayek, Richard E. Grant co-star. 118 min. C/Rtg: R

Fast-paced follow-up co-stars Morgan Freeman, Frank Grillo, Richard E. Grant, Tom Hopper. 116 min. C/Rtg: R
