Review of The Hitman's Bodyguard (2017) by Moriel M — 07 Sep 2017
The film starts quite flat and hasn't hit the ground running, I thought this was going to be a comedy but it looks very one dimensional. The marketing team really did an incredible job twisting people into watching this run of the mill action film.
The film clicks into high gear but every character is very cliche riddled, even Oldman is lacking the usual method charm. The film has a good chemistry with Reynolds and Jackson but it never amounts to what it should.
The language thinks that is the only humour but the audience deserved more. The mismatched buddy film is nothing new but there is a difference between generic and formulaic films, this will never become a classic by any means.
