Our take on The Hitman's Bodyguard

Patrick Hughes's 2017 action comedy pairs the world's top bodyguard with an unlikely new client: a hitman who must testify at the International Court of Justice. Forced to set aside their obvious differences, the two bicker their way across Europe, working together to reach the trial on time. It's a fast, mismatched-buddy caper that trades on banter, gunfights and the odd-couple chemistry between two men who can't stand each other. It suits viewers after breezy, R-rated action comedy with a high joke-to-explosion ratio and no pretense of realism. Those seeking a serious thriller or tight plotting may shrug, but anyone in the mood for loud, wisecracking fun will be entertained.
