MOVIE REVIEW:
The Hitman’s Bodyguard starred Reynolds as Michael Bryce, a grumpy but hyper-competent, low-level bodyguard indirectly tasked with delivering professional killer Darius Kincaid to a court date. By the end of the film, justice is done, honor is restored. At the same time, the professional protector and the professional murderer have reached a level of mutual respect and situational friendship.
Bryce’s climactic heroism has resulted in him being further ostracized from the unofficial bodyguard club, with a company-mandated shrink arguing that he should take a break from trying to break back into the field. Alas, minutes into his holiday, violence ensues as Sonia Kincaid (Salma Hayek, the “hitman’s wife” of the title) snatches Bryce off a poolside chair and thrusts him into a globe-trotting adventure.
