Final words

The Hitman’s Bodyguard  was praised for its action sequences and the chemistry between Reynolds and Jackson, while Reynolds is known for playing tough but funny guys, Jackson has a more no-nonsense reputation in the action department, thanks to movies like Pulp Fiction and his work in the MCU.

Both actors brought their unique sensibilities to their roles in The Hitman’s bodyguard, which elevated the script and helped the movie score close to $200 million at the box office.

But, Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard fails to protect the audience from repetitive and tired genre tropes.
