Opposites do attract! Comedy & Action of Epic proportions. Loved every moment of the movie, literally never a dull moment.
Samuel L. Jackson & Ryan Reynolds make a fantastic duo, they literally bounced off each other throughout the movie, a perfect blend.
Nick Fury & Deadpool in one movie!
Loved it!
Good things first: chemistry between Jackson and Reynolds is off the charts as expected. Their comedic style complement each other very well and carry the movie.
It was an alright movie some of the jokes were a little lackluster, the action was average, and it was a rather forgettable flick to be honest. However, it was still a fun movie and had a couple of good jokes to fill the time.
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 think we all can agree on that both Samuel L. Jackson and Ryan Reynolds are quite funny, and they both go all out in this one. Did they have the best material to work with?!? Probably not, but The Hitman's Bodyguard is a rather entertaining action comedy, and even though the story could have been a bit better, they make up it up with the sheer insanity of it all.
Quit insane and quite fun. Not bad at all...
And btw...Salma Hayek can sure be one badass lady. Just saying...
It's sound track goes with It's action, the hitman and the bodyguard make a great comedy duo act and yes I'd like to see a motherfucking sequel with the same fun but more and better. XD
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.
The Hitman's Bodyguard has a forgettable plot that clearly comes in third, after to Reynolds' and Jackson's buddy-cop snark and their respective romantic troubles, but the action sequences stuffed with absent-minded kills are perfectly satisfying for a summer action flick. Admittedly, you might feel a little shock at seeing a rule-following 'Deadpool' and fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants 'Nick Fury' but that's rather the point, I think.
This movie was perfect. Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson we're perfect together in this movie. It's also always nice to see your own country in a big hollywood production, but not only that, I also thought the chase scene through the canals of Amsterdam was really well done. The movie had me surprised with having so much good comedy in it. I really loved the Ryan ranting about Samual scene. This movie is worth a while, if you're into action or comedy.
Nick Fury, Deadpool, and Electra. Yeah sign me up. This was way more fun than I thought it would be. So many laughs. I think it was so much fun because they played characters they play so often so it felt natural and unforced. They make a great team. I hope this is the first of many buddy comedies between these two.
Fuck me. I could actually feel my brain dying watching this shite.
the cameramen didn't clean the lenses before shooting this movie
Want to know what non-Deadpool movie is Ryan Reynold's best action movie? This one!
It is everything you love about Deadpool PLUS everything you love about Samuel L. Jackson. But you know what I really loved? Salma Hayek stole the show with her character. The chemistry between Reynolds and Jackson is amazing. The chemistry between Jackson and Hayek is amazing. I don't even care about the plot, I just want to see their characters interact.
The boat chase scene was, at least to me, tedious, and so cost this movie a heart.
Action scenes were exciting for a while in this movie but there is a point where you have been watching a car chase for a minute too many and it can get boring. Jokes were mainly Jackson swearing and many failed to make me laugh. The story line was quite interesting to start off with but I tended to lose interest in the main plot from time to time when they strayed away from scenes with Gary Oldman. However it was far from an unwatchable movie and is a great watch if you don't want to concentrate too hard on a complicated plot and relax to some well choreographed action.
The Hitman's Bodyguard
A fun 'Strange Bedfellows' action flick.
With Reynolds and Jackson playing their typical roles.
Action scenes were good to watch and some solid comedy throughout.
The runtime was a bit too long.
Oldman was severely underutilized.
7/10

"This guy single-handedly ruined the word motherfucker."
Samuel L. Jackson sure does say motherfucker a lot in this movie. The jokes were hit or miss, some were really funny. Both Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L Jackson were good. Both doing exactly what they are best at. The action was ok, nothing special. The soundtrack was pretty awesome. Some of the song selections were the funniest parts of the movie.
The word Motherfucker was said 28 times throughout the movie
Some dope ass action sequences TBH, keep that shit coming Netflix. :D
Ppppphhhhhffffffrrrrrrttttttt!!!! ahhhhhhhhhh that one hurt
This movie has obvious plots with no big surprises but the reasons I'm watching this movie is for its concept and the chemistry between Sam Jackson and Ryan Reynolds. Was quite entertaining and actually funny.
What a comedy!!!!What a chemistry!!
Respect
Ups, didn't mean to hit send. The bad stuff: the director clearly didn't know what he was doing. Last movie he directed was the Expendables 3 dumpster fire and it showed. Actress who played the female interpol agent was in way over her head. Spectacular miscast. Should not have been there. Third, the script and storyline were awful. Other than that, it was watchable for Reynolds and Jackson interacting only.
A fun romp with the primary frienemies. Funny, extensive action, beautiful locations, fun soundtrack (who knew Jackson sings?). Definitely a guy movie (they missed a great opportunity to show off Elodie Yung's serious martial arts skills - this girl doesn't need a dude to save her, but Salma Hayek got a chance to kick some serious butt - hard to believe she is 50). Ryan Reynold's gets to use some of his Canadian French and the puppy dog charm for which we all love him while Samuel Jackson schools us In his extensive grasp of vulgar expletives. I give it a 7 (good) out of 10.
Very Funny with great action and music. Loved it.
Watching nick fury and deadpool was quite a thrilling ride
This movie is packed with action and they acted really well with each other
Interesting seeing an American movie making International Court of Justice propaganda for which they never signed the treaty ....
my god. the kind of shit i'd watch for my darling angel élodie yung.
funny, good action, sarcasmville, loved it.
"This guy single-handedly ruined the word "motherfucker." "
Very, very enjoyable! Love these type of motherfucking "buddy-cop" movies. Loved the way they used motherfucking Amsterdam! Great car/boat/motorcycle chase. Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson have some great chemistry together motherfucker. Barry Atsma! Motherfucking fake highway traffic boards in the Netherlands. Those Dutch cop cars didn't even look like motherfucking Dutch cop cars. Even the outfits felt cheap! Motherfuckers. The prison location was also very suss. Salma Hayek and Samuel L. Jackson's bar scene is the best bit! We even have Gary motherfucking Oldman!
Anyway I motherfucking enjoyed this one. Have to check the sequel out sometime this year!
Incredible action sequences but the unnecessary overuse of profane language and the pointless storyline made it at times unenjoyable and painfully bad!
"The Hitman's Bodyguard" is a buddy-cop action comedy film starring Samuel L. Jackson and Ryan Reynolds. The story follows bodyguard Bryce and assassin Kincaid as they are paired together to protect a key witness and stop a war criminal from being acquitted. The film is reminiscent of buddy-cop movies from the 80s and is filled with action and gunfire. The chemistry between Reynolds and Jackson is enjoyable and their comedic banter provides some humorous moments. However, the plot is predictable and offers no surprises. The action is well-executed but the Amsterdam chase scene feels overlong and contains cliches. The film also has some questionable special effects, particularly during the chase scene. Overall, while "The Hitman's Bodyguard" is a fun and entertaining film, it is not particularly original or groundbreaking.
"The Hitman's Bodyguard" es una película de comedia de acción y policías protagonizada por Samuel L. Jackson y Ryan Reynolds. La historia sigue al guardaespaldas Bryce y al asesino Kincaid mientras se unen para proteger a un testigo clave y evitar que un criminal de guerra sea absuelto. La película recuerda a las películas de policías amigos de los años 80 y está llena de acción y disparos. La química entre Reynolds y Jackson es agradable y sus bromas cómicas brindan algunos momentos divertidos. Sin embargo, la trama es predecible y no ofrece sorpresas. La acción está bien ejecutada, pero la escena de la persecución en Ámsterdam se siente demasiado larga y contiene clichés. La película también tiene algunos efectos especiales cuestionables, particularmente durante la escena de la persecución. En general, aunque "The Hitman's Bodyguard" es una película divertida y entretenida, no es particularmente original ni innovadora.
Nice, that was quite funny/entertaining! :)
And some awesome action! Especially considering that "boring is always best" xD
Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson make a great/fun team.
Ryan is really good at playing funny characters and Samuel is badass, has an awesome accent, and delivers those lines so well!
PS: And now I've finally seen that car crash scene where the Smart is pushed into the river in the intended form. Someone filmed it from across the river and I've seen it a couple of times on YouTube (as part of various (crash) compilations).
"Boring is always best."
I watched this film a few months after it was released, although there wasn't much to remember; not about the film: I remembered most of it. I'm referring to my particular feelings toward it and whatnot. I know I gave it the highest rating, as handing out the highest ratings left and right was what I did back then, which is different now. But I also seem to remember liking it quite a bit, more than I do today. Rating-wise, as well.
There's no doubt that it's enjoyable. The profanity is prominent, almost to the point where you feel like the writer thinks that's the peak of comedy, unable to go about it any other way. However, it was more positive than negative, primarily due to Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson, particularly their chemistry. They drove the vehicle, and it was for them; everything/everyone else: parts of said vehicle. What an unrivaled analogy that was, huh? They carried this film, not that the writer tried making anything (and anyone) else as good, except for the action sequences, which had nothing to do with the writer. They were directed well by Patrick Hughes, and the fight choreography was also good.
But I can understand the likely negativity towards that by some people: quite possibly the majority. What I mean by that is how, besides Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson, their characters and chemistry, everything and everyone else seems there only because they need to be there; you can't have a film where there are only two people. The fact, through the writing, that they're the draw and point of the film solidifies that. I'm sure the plot driving the film, including the other characters, could've brought more to the film, except those things were likely on the back burner.
Taking a step further, the underutilization of Gary Oldman was criminal; he hardly had any significance besides being the end goal. I'm unable to think of the reasoning. It can't be for star power: "Hey, look! Gary Oldman's in this film!" Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson are right there, and the main actors, no less. And even if that did play a factor, what about underutilizing him? I want to say he gave a decent performance, but he didn't have much screen time. Accent-wise, I guess he did good, and I'm basing that on his voice-acting of Viktor Reznov in Call of Duty: Black Ops. At the very least, it had to be better than most accents like that done by practically everyone else.
On top of that, one of my biggest gripes (presumably the same for most people) was how most of the film looked with the bland/blurry visuals that seem often done, like TV shows/films on Netflix or anything on The CW. I guess that's because of the camera or lenses (I don't know anything about that sort of thing). Whatever it is, perhaps it's easier or cheaper. If not, why is it done so often? But the cinematography by Jules O'Loughlin had some nice shots, and the visuals in the torture scene with the lighting/colors were the highlight.
Besides the good performances by Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson, the chemistry between them, some of the comedy, the decent action sequences, and the occasional good shot by Jules O'Loughlin, the soundtrack is comparable. Specific cues from the score by Atli Örvarsson had remnants of various sources that have an individualistic connection. I heard a blend of Get Smart (the show), including the film (which replicated the score), The Man From UNCLE (film), and maybe a little of Mission: Impossible sprinkled in. And the songs were good, too. Selena Arizanovic, the music supervisor, did an adequate job with that. I prefer that aspect of the soundtrack over the score, which was still good.
My favorite scene was a scene that most people likely disregarded: the flashback of Kincaid's first contract. The cinematography and the location were both great; there were a few similar instances, almost like you're watching a different film since most of the visuals were blurry. And the music (Atli Örvarsson's 'One of the Good Guys?') during it was immaculate.
If you're looking for an enjoyable time, this film will provide one: unless you're more concerned with focusing on things about it that aren't up to your standards. I'm not saying those things aren't there, but none of them are bad enough to where you can't enjoy the film. I thought the film's middle point was the best, with the first half a close second, the last half in third place, as the chase sequence dragged on and everything, after they make it to the court, was underwhelming.
Lastly, Samuel L. Jackson's song playing during the end credits, 'Nobody Gets Out Alive,' was excellent. If you haven't heard it (the complete song), you should.
such a well directed & fun action movie, the writing & jokes were very good
Ryan and Samuel had some really good chemistry, and Salma Hayek was amazing
oh and that little behind the scenes bit at the end was funny
Overall, I guess the feeling this movie left me at the end was exactly "meh"... Based on the cast, I was expecting it to be more fun, but after half an hour I was already checking how long was it 'till the end.
The action was way over the top, as I realize it was intended to be, but it didn't work that well for me and was just tiring at times. Got better after the pursuit scene on the canal, though. Not much of a storyline, either.
And I guess Joaquim de Almeida, although in a more subtle way this time, always has to be one of the bad guys. Always good seeing him.
this is about the funniest action movie i've ever seen ! ryan reynolds' class, just as in 6 underground + samuel l. jackson, that's supreme.
It's basically like the 1993 film 'The Bodyguard', but this time with two guys that sometimes go into gay territory.
I don't have much to say about this, in all honesty. This is how I feel about a lot of movies recently. I just watch it and that's it, nothing else to say. I mean, there's some funny moments but the rest is either stupid or really bad. Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson had decent chemistry at least, with one enjoyable scene with Salema Hayek. Gary Oldman is also there.
interesting action comedy ; it's probably a 7.5 but have it an 8 for the effort
Lame.
It wants to be Lethal Weapon, and it just isn’t.
The story sucks (that’s almost a given with these movies), the action is below average, and the jokes, which are mostly terrible, can’t save it either.
And for a movie with a budget like this, it’s surprisingly ugly looking (way too fucking bright).
Like a weiner dog, this is interesting at the ends but has a long ass middle.
Is this movie suppose to be Funny? Because it failed completely
This movie was a decent attempt at comedy action movie but definitely not my favourite. I do think that Samuel L. Jackson and Ryan Reynolds make a great duo in this movie but I think if it wasn't for them then this movie would be flat out terrible. It was good, but nothing new.
Why on earth the start of this film is set in Manchester and Coventry when it's clearly all shot in London is beyond me. London has better international recognition anyway...
This movie is amazing, also, I'm a big fan of Ryan's and Samuel's work
Fun comedy action movie.
As expected, over the top action and very fun interaction between an overplanning, careful bodyguard and an improvising, "shoot first then ask" hitman.
Not bad for watching with friends on the afternoon of New Year's Eve. We enjoyed it.
Deadpool and Nick Fury outside Marvel
'Nobody gets out alive'
There was nothing special about the story but the presentation was great.There were a lot of good jokes and action.It was fun to watch and I really enjoyed this movie.It was better than I expected.
Thin plotting, but thanks to the engaging double act of Jackson and Reynolds, this action comedy buddy flick is a lot of fun.
2 actors that love to say the F word team up in this action comedy. The result is some laughs, a lot of "motha fuckas" and plenty of action. Think Midnight Run but with more cursing and violence but without being as good.
Having watched this my main thoughts at the end were "why did they bother making it". Supposed to be humorous buddy / action movie and fails on all three counts. The action at the beginning was short lived, the remainder of the movie largely consisted of a Jackson / Reynolds incessant 'wisecrack' banter that barely raises a smile let alone rates as funny. Salma Hayek as Kincaid's wife adds little again with an unfunny 'hispanic tough 'ombré' monologue whenever she gets a showing, Elodie Young getting even less screen-time and fairing even less well. Crap plot and boring story to boot. Totally unmemorable.
Really enjoyable for what it is but this is not a movie you watch repeatedly.
Dare I say it... A modern day Lethal Weapon
(let's see if they follow it up with any sequels)
Super entertaining, reynolds and Jackson were superb together, great action scenes and good action comedy
Don't watch this movie for the storyline, the character development or the ... whatever. Watch this movie for the oneliners, the typical rough humor that could come directly from Deadpool or Pulp Fiction with great action scenes and pointless voilence and rough language. I loved it :)
Total blast of a buddy road movie. Some of the jokes are a little try-hard and cringey, but Reynolds and Jackson share great chemistry, and make it fun. Lots of really solid action too, which I was not expecting.
good movie,the humor added a little bit of taste,the story is good,but there is some unnecessary drama in it,i totally recommended it.
Very good movie - much better than expected. Plot is good, action good and rolling no of the eyes at dodgy dialogue. 8/10
Very funny movie... Very funny dialogs... Superb adventure scenes also Samuel and Reynolds have amazing chemistry... You must see if you want to spend 2 amazing hours
A good movie to watch again and again!
It's a Genre film that hits all the points you expect it to. The only thing I didn't see coming was Who Samuel L. Jackson's Father was. I love watching two of my favorite active improv actors go at each other. I was crying laughing by the end.
Funny, and a nice action movie, recommended to watch to know more, Samuel Jackson always has his style to make it more "awesome!!"
Hecka fun and funny AF with lots of scrub. The chemistry between the two protagonists is great.
I will stare motherfuckerly at this movie again, and again, and again.
it was really a great movie
what a waste of time
Ryan killed his role...start 30 min and end 30 min were best...rest is over acting including salma hayek...8 stars just bc of ryan's acting...must watch
You can really feel the passion behind this... not.
Ryan and Sam are hilarious together, I haven't laughed this hard in a while. The duo is the best part, everything else is below average.
