Patrick Hughes had a well thought out story line. The movie was all in one – comedy, action, suspense and more action.
Samuel L. Jackson (Darius Kincaid) was also a lead actor in this movie; he was a very bad man who grew up to become a trained assassin. Quite a scattered man too.
“Tripple A Agent” Michael Bryce (played by Ryan Reynolds) couldn’t make it into the FBI so he decided to create his own Agency that provided protection for high network individuals and he was well paid. The difference between Michael and Darius Kincaid was that Michael asked no questions about his clients as long as he is well paid, his job was to protect them, but Darius wanted justice so he was willing to kill any selfish, greedy or corrupt wealthy man, sometimes without being paid.
As it was in the movie Michael and Darius were longtime enemies although very good at what they both did, they really couldn’t stand or understand the motive behind their actions. The main action of this movie began, when Darius had to be brought out of jail to go testify against the President of Russia, Vladislav Dukhovich, who was facing trial in the. All efforts were to no avail as the president eliminated every witness that came on the bench to testify. Anyone who appeared in the court room never made it alive and those who were alive feared that if he wasn’t persecuted, they would all lose their lives if he was set free. It was a very dicey case and all hope was on Darius to testify and send the Russian president to jail. It wasn’t easy but he scaled through.

The Hitman’s BodyGuard was really good as the twist of the story brought together two extreme enemies from opposite sides to now fight from the same side in what we call 24hours of adventure, from England to The Hague.
To my verdict I would say 8/10, they did put up a good show and we totally enjoyed the movie.
