movie review - The Hitman’s Bodyguard

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2018.04.16

Once in a while, Hollywood produces a movie where they take some stars and tell them, "Here's the plot outline, improvise." And that's really all I reckon I need to say about this flick, which features Samuel Jackson and Ryan Reynolds. One's a professional bodyguard, one's a professional assassin. Which is which? To say any more would be to give away the plot.

Not recommended.

Satire is tragedy plus time. You give it enough time, the public, the reviewers will allow you to satirize it. Which is rather ridiculous, when you think about it.
