A wicked killer who has to testify before the International Court of Justice as an important witness, a bodyguard who has lost his sights and who has to protect him from being chased by the accused. Such a plot should have been an extremely routine, violent and bloody crime road movie with hidden conspiracies. But when the killer played by "Chief Fury" meets the bodyguard played by "Deadpool", it is foreseeable that the film must be more than that. In fact, the combination of the two big guns in the superhero world has indeed produced a very good chemistry, and the focus of the film has shifted to comedy.
The comedy element of "Ace Bodyguard" is not only the number of times the iconic foul language and the magical laughter that Chief Fury burst, but the contrast revealed everywhere in the movie. The two leading actors, one black and one white, act as killers and bodyguards, two seemingly incompatible occupations, and the roles they play are one of taciturn and one of lively talkers; the more important contrast lies in the actions represented by the two occupations Style: As a bodyguard, you always follow the rules and do everything in detail; as a killer, you are more free to do whatever you want. Faced with stealing the car, the bodyguard chose to pick the lock, and the killer chose to break out of the window. These huge contrasts from appearance to character allow the plot of the two to create rich jokes. More than that, with the help of such two very different images, the film also describes two completely different loves, different people, different love laws, different tenderness, coupled with the love songs of the 1980s, it brings even more to the movie. A bloody romance.
This is an old-fashioned story, but it is not a superficial movie, and it always reveals a hint of chicken soup for the soul in the subtleties. From the simplest teachings of the director to Deadpool, to the good and evil thinking caused by the killer when he explained his life experience. There is another scene that impressed me. In the final chase, the killer and the bodyguard's car hit the roadblock, the bodyguard was thrown out of the car, and the killer stayed in the car because he had fastened his seat belt. It's just an ordinary one among the many jokes, but in this fleeting shot, the influence of the two on each other can be seen. This made me even think of a movie with a completely different style - "July and An Sheng", two different people who finally made themselves into each other. Maybe the world will eventually become what they once hated. The profound meanings contained in the movie are just to stop, and do not increase the depth of the movie. All in all, as a popcorn movie with a comedy crime theme, "Ace Bodyguard" has a high degree of completion, and the rivalry between Samuel Jackson and Ryan Reynolds is also quite exciting, and it is a highly watchable movie. Movie.
