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.
