Tom O'Connor's script doesn't know when to quit (half an hour earlier would have been smart); Jake Roberts' editing is sloppy; and director Patrick Hughes seems just along for the ride.August 25, 2017
Samuel Jackson as hitman Darius Kincaid and Ryan Reynolds as his protector, Michael Bryce, turn in hugely enjoyable performances to elevate the run-of-the-mill material.August 25, 2017
The LOLs are too few and far-between. If not for Reynolds, Jackson and Hayek, it would have been unwatchable. Even they can only manage to make it slightly less so.August 25, 2017
A gravely unfunny motion picture of the sort that supposes that people screaming invective at each other is close enough to count as a joke.August 25, 2017
There's no other word for The Hitman's Bodyguard than garbage. But it's not a failure; it does what it was intended to do, which is to give a showcase to Samuel L. Jackson.August 18, 2017
The political realism doesn't sit well with the exploding cars, singing nuns and quipping killers.August 25, 2017
"The Hitman's Bodyguard," has one overwhelming positive going for it, and that's the chemistry of the leads Reynolds and Jackson.August 19, 2017
The whole film feels slightly grubby and low-res, like it's been languishing in private mode on the filmmakers' pre-HD YouTube page since 2008.August 18, 2017
"The Hitman's Bodyguard" comes at you hard, but skates by on its charms. Kiss kiss, bang bang.August 18, 2017
Standard stuff. But it's got more humor and zest than most movies of its kind. And that makes it pretty darn enjoyable.August 18, 2017
While no one is going to mistake The Hitman's Bodyguard for high art, it will please those in the mood for late-summer fun.August 18, 2017
For me, The Hitman's Bodyguard is the epitome of what a summer movie should be.
