The Hitman’s Bodyguard is an action comedy directed by Patrick Hughes (The Expendables 3). It stars Ryan Reynolds, Samuel L. Jackson, Gary Oldman, Salma Hayek, Élodie Yung, Joaquim de Almeida, Kirsty Mitchell, and Richard E. Grant.
The world’s top protection agent, Michael Bryce (Reynolds), is called upon to guard the life of his mortal enemy, Darius Kincaid (Jackson), one of the world’s most notorious hitmen. The relentless bodyguard and manipulative assassin have been on the opposite end of the bullet for years and are thrown together for a wildly outrageous 24 hours. During their raucous and hilarious adventure from England to the Hague, they encounter high-speed car chases, outlandish boat escapades and a merciless Eastern European dictator (Oldman) who is out for blood.
“I love the bond between Bryce and Kincaid,” says Reynolds. “These two guys couldn’t be more polarized but as we move through the story they start to acquire begrudging love and respect for each other. There’s a bromance and several love stories all wrapped up in this incredible, crazy action story.”
Adds Jackson: “Ryan and I go on a crazy fun jaunt through the roads of Europe – and it’s full of chaos and humor between two characters who have a very unusual chemistry.”
