UMR Review of The Hitman’s Bodyguard

I actually liked the original. I really disliked this sequel. I find that sad, as I really like the cast. The main problem I have with the movie, is what they did with the Ryan Reynolds character. In this one he is just a punching bag. All the humor revolves around….let’s run him over with a car or let’s shoot him in the chest so he goes flying back. He gets knocked out or drugged so much in the movie that I think his character is actually unconscious for a third of the movie.

As for the plot….pretty dumb. As for the villain… Antonio Banderas is boring to watch. As for Morgan Freeman…..one of his worst roles in his long history. Normally, Freeman makes every movie better…in this case his part makes the movie even worse…and that is saying something. The only fun part of the movie is the banter between Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson….but that rarely happens in the movie.

Final thought: A very disappointing misfire.
