This film can actually be regarded as a two-hour violent trip between Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson. The plot is simple, you can tell at a glance, and the laughs are not very prominent, but one thing is for sure, you don't need to Worrying about the safety of the protagonist, because they are the world's top killers and bodyguards. Michael Bryce ("Deadpool" Ryan Reynolds) was one of the top bodyguards on the planet, a AAA bodyguard who never failed once and never killed a man. Until one day, a Japanese arms dealer died right under his nose, causing him to hit rock bottom. Two years later, he is destitute when he unexpectedly receives a call from his ex-wife, detective Amelia Roussel (Elodie Yung). Needing his help, she hides in a safe house with a key witness against dictator Dukhovich (Gary Oldman). Their convoy was ambushed by Dukhovich's men, who were the only survivors. Amelia needs Michael to bring the witness safely to the International Court of Justice in The Hague so he can testify. Michael reluctantly agrees, but he finds out that the person he wants to protect is Darius Kincaid (Samuel L. Jackson), the notorious hitman he's been fighting for for years. A hilarious action movie. Ryan Reynolds is not like the ramble in Deadpool, but a calm bodyguard, everything follows a pre-planned procedure, and most of the laughs are drawn by Samuel L. Jackson, and still rely on some Low-level dirty jokes, especially the singing in the nun's car. Unexpectedly, the director seems to want to tell us that this is actually a story about roving love, interspersed with the emotional lines of the two, both of whom hope to restore the failed love. (Sure enough, there are dog abuse episodes everywhere...) All in all, this is a qualified popcorn movie. If you want to relax, you might as well watch it.
