Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard on Lionsgate Play — Dumb Fun
Ryan Reynolds, at this point in his career, has become the ‘Ryan Reynolds’ typecast. Fast talking, 4th wall breaking, self depreciating endlessly. That is his schtick. He is doing it in all the movies. He was already sort of like that, but, the Deadpool movies cemented this habit of his.
He does the same thing here, and, it’s okay. It’s getting a little old, and tiresome. Still, he is a charming actor and it hasnt worn out yet. The same goes to rest of the cast. Everybody is chewing scenery, trying to one up each other. Jackson is spewing out F words constantly. Salma Hayek, self aware of her big jugs, also showcases plenty of F words and her large, massive, heaving bosom.
Morgan Freeman also doing the usual, senior, calm guy thing, who is also secretly a villain. Come on, that’s not a spoiler. Also, it is so nice to see Antonio Banderas and Salmay Hayek together. I still remember their hot sizzling chemistry from when I first saw the action movie, Desperados.
These movies are like the Rush Hour movies. Everything that is happening is not supposed to make any sense. There is a ‘bodyguarding’ committee that monitor’s bodyguard license. On top of that, it’s a family business. Sure. There are also head hunters, who are married, and want to raise a family. Sure.
Something about hacking everything in Europe, and something something about interpol and deep sea drilling equipment. There are endless car chases, ridiculous explosions, plot twists(!) and baby adoption plans. That’s right. Adoption stuff.
Bad guys, who have seen way too many James Bond movies. Also Star Wars movies. I mean, not a single one of them gets a single bullet on any of the protaganists. On top of that, Ryan Reynolds is apparently made of plastic or rubber or some sort of indestructible material.
May be, its not Ryan Reynolds? Perhaps it’s DeadPool who somehow managed to get his face fixed.
Final Note
Watch it for Ryan Reynold’s, now tired and beating a dead horse, weird guy antics. Salma Hayek’s big boobz. Morgan Freeman and Antonio Banderas pad their retirement fund.
It’s just a dumb fun movie. If you can bear with the cast, exaggerating everything, you will be a-okay.
