Jackson as well and to be honest with you well no I don't want to talk about that right now I'm going to stick or stick on the characters Selma Hayek is also in this movie she did a great job she was kind of you know over the top you know loud and bossy but deep down in her core she was soft you know like a marshmallow or something like that just you know a very sweet woman but it was pretty entertaining to see her go off on screen too and I don't want to say who she is necessarily related to in this movie that's just a surprise a little young is also in this movie the the young beautiful actress that played the Electra and the Defenders and Daredevil series on Netflix right now and she did a great job as well I actually think she did a great job a better job in this than she did in her role in the Electra and Daredevil and the Defenders which actually comes out in a few hours a couple of hours because in that you know I wasn't that impressed I don't think her acting was too good but you know this is an action comedy you know I'm not expecting great acting but I did like her role you know she did a good job she was able to moat show frustration and in hard times and you know I believed her when she was in danger in this movie and you know you know I yeah I really liked her the person that I liked the most out of all is Gary Omen he plays the villain in this he did a phenomenal job he is such a great actor I cannot remember if he's won any awards before I'm pretty sure he's won at least one thing I kind of maybe want to look that up as I'm talking to you guys here but he did a great job his role he was this guy in the movie called Dukovic and yep he was nominated for one Oscar what movie was that for let's see real quick nominated best performance by an actor leading role in Tinker Taylor soldier spy and I did see that in the theaters and I was so super duper confused but anyway he did a great job in the role as the villain like seriously this was I was like damn this dude is not messing around like okay do what he says or he just doesn't care he just did not believe in authority you know he was just like you know no one can control me I can do what I want there is no government no power system that can threaten me get out the way or you're gonna die and for the most part he lived up to his threats and so he was a you know a good villain a worthy foe to you know deal with as far as the rest of the movie itself I'm usually one that is not to find opening credits but this one the opening credits in the movie had purpose and they really got me excited for the movie as soon as the movie started you know this is like room down the highway you're going you know super fast and you're not slowing down until the end you know even sometimes I wanted the movie to slow down and that's just kind of gets to the action itself I mean there's nice you know gun battles there's nice hand-to-hand and there is nice car chase as well and the hand-to-hand was done quite well especially from Samuel Jackson I don't know if that was a body double or a stuntman or something like that but I was just like oh my god Samuel okay I see I didn't know you can move like that and that's what I was about to talk about earlier with this character I'm really impressed to see Samuel Jackson do this well in a movie that contains this much action when they put a machine gun in his hand for the first time I was very impressed and it didn't seem like oh this is just Samuel Jackson with the gun like he really seemed like a real character like a real assassin as he was playing his movie he's assassin Ryan Reynolds is the bodyguard and Ryan Reynolds is trying to protect Samuel Jackson for reasons I don't want to disclose here in this review because I don't want to spoil it for you but Samuel Jackson was doing his thing with the gun I was okay you know I was very impressed he did you know it was like what movie was that I think the movie was SWAT where yeah I just wasn't buying him as a cop per se and that movie he just did not fit the role you know there was one scene of him towards the beginning of that movie when they showed him in the gym and it just didn't jail with me too well and then there was that other movie Lakeview Terrace he was a crooked cop in that movie and you know him you know in a uniform with the you know gun you know I just you know that wasn't an action beat movie but you know it just didn't jail with me either but this right here Samuel Jackson kicking ass in this movie driving cars shoot guns and chopping throats with his hands that was dope as hell I really did like that a lot now something to take away from this movie the movie no I don't want to take away I want to give it to you give it give the movie this because it's also a comedy and the movie is funny as hell I mean I was laughing my behind off from beginning and I think I've already said that but yeah I really was and people to just being themselves Ryan Reynolds has been himself with a dry human and Samuel Jackson is screaming cuss words all the time and there's one scene that's been in the trailers over and over and over again like an all three trailers and it's just kind of one of those things where you kind of send yourself okay I laugh my butt off doing the trailer I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna feel the same way in the movie because it ruined it here but no it's still funny in the movie very funny and you just kind of get to see what leads up to that point and I don't I don't want to ruin it for you because then you'll be looking out for it cuz I honestly forgot but there is nothing every joke that's funny in the trailers it's still funny in the movie like I was just really just not even chuckling but laughing out loud at a few times but that can also be to the film's downhaul down I said downhaul downfall because while the movie started out to be an action movie with sprinkles of comedy but then the second half it turned into a comedy with a blizzard worth of action and so you may be sending yourself a brand and what's wrong with that they it seems like they you know they started out subtle and towards the second half of the film they cranked up the comedy and cranked up the action but sometime it was just too much there was one action scene to where Samuel Jackson and Ryan Reynolds was together and Samuel Jackson's characters named Ken Cade and Ryan Reynolds's character I think is named Michael they were in an action scene together then they got split up Samuel Jackson goes over here to the right to do a car chase action Sam Ryan Reynolds goes over here to the left to do hand-to-hand action but then they come back together to finish off the action scene it was it was done well it was beautiful but at the same time it was just so long and so much action by the by the time the first action set piece was done I thought we was gonna get a break I can catch my breath then you shoot over to this hand-to-hand so I'm like damn it's a lot of action here kind of action fatigue or whatever and then you sprinkle in all the comedy and you're like okay can I take this movie seriously I mean like you know they are blowing off hiss and stuff but they're making me laugh too and to take something away from the film is just sometimes like they the film was kind of self-aware because they kind of did a justice with the character but one of the particular character was like unkillable and then may I sure that you know that they beat that you know they beat that dead horse over and over again to make sure that you knew this character was pretty much unkillable and that's kind of like a running joke in the movie but at the same time it kind of leaves a bad taste on my mouth because it doesn't really leave any stakes because if I know that this character is gonna make it out of any situation whatsoever the you know then it's like you know I'm not worried I'm not at the edge of my seat given that is part of his character and that's what makes the movie but you know they just could have ironed it out just a little bit more you know it just you know it could have been fleshed out I mean yeah it just was a you know two main characters one character I felt like okay you know you possibly could die the other person I was like yeah you're probably gonna get out of this and just some of the action scenes that was just making it too easy for him you know but then again it was still fun and I had a great time I loved the action I was laughing my behind off let me see is there anything else that I want to talk about and I really can't think of anything else I mean I really did enjoy this movie it mean I have some pretty good expectations and the film met my expectations and you know this is something that I'm gonna buy when it comes out on a home video release I did enjoy it and if you just want a silly action movie you know just a you know kickback popcorn flick you know enjoy yourself I do recommend this if I had to rate the hitman's bodyguard out of a one out of ten I would give it an 8.5 out of ten yes and 8.5 out of ten but guys that's just my opinion what
