A trivial militant. A lot of shooting, fighting and swearing. The plot is primitive and flat, like a board: two run away, the others catch up. In order to make a good film, it's not enough to attract a movie star or even a few movie stars.A trivial militant. A lot of shooting, fighting and swearing. The plot is primitive and flat, like a board: two run away, the others catch up. In order to make a good film, it's not enough to attract a movie star or even a few movie stars. For this, first of all, you need a good script, but there is no good script here. The film is not interesting. I could hardly stand it for 40 minutes, I did not have the strength to look further… Expand

Jackson the sociopathic murderer with a heart of gold in an action packed flick about two men who have absolutely no chemistry fight Gary Oldman the dictator that isn't aware he's in a comedy movie, then it's your movie.

Better than sleeping pills. Someone delusional would call it Deadpool + Pulp Fiction, truth is: it's The Expendables with the comedy of Grown Ups 2.

Car explosions and farts. That's about all.

If you want to watch a movie with actors who have excellent chemistry on-screen, I highly suggest The Nice Guys with Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe.… Expand

With childish humor and embrassing sub plots Humans Bodyguard winds up barely staying afloat due to some fun action sequences. Really bad. "The Hitman's Bodyguard" is a surprisingly bland dish.

There's no denying the obvious chemistry that Jackson and Reynolds have on screen and I would to see them together in any other movie but this. This movie sucked so much that it became the first film I have ever walked out early on. The plotThere's no denying the obvious chemistry that Jackson and Reynolds have on screen and I would to see them together in any other movie but this. This movie sucked so much that it became the first film I have ever walked out early on. The plot is terribly generic and could be called within the first 10 minutes, Terrible use of the fantastic Gary Oldman (idk why he would ever take a role like this to begin with). The movie is just garbage, Don't even bother.… Expand

Extraordinarily disappointing, despite great chemistry between Reynolds and Jackson. Oldman's completely wasted in a role that amounts to no more than a couple hours of shooting.

I'll give it a couple points for the very few funny jokes there were. Semi decent car chases, and the fact that Ryan Reynolds got shot in the end.

Another action film with two big names. Some comedy thrown in there, but nothing too new. If you're going to the movies to escape and don't want to be bothered with the outside world, this movie is for you. Definitely not for me. Also, thoseAnother action film with two big names.

Also, those long drawn out car chasing scenes are getting really old.… Expand
