Trailer

Why watch this film?

The comedy 'Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard' surprised in 2017 when the story of a bodyguard (Ryan Reynolds, at the peak due to 'Deadpool') who had to protect a criminal (Samuel L. Jackson) while escorting him to a historic trial. There are no great directorial touches from Patrick Hughes ('The Expendables 3'), but the action and crude laughter manage to mix well. Now, in 'Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard', this mixture resurfaces. Hughes returns to direct, as do Jackson and Reynolds. Now, the story shows this bodyguard embarking on a mission not only with the criminal, but also with the wife (Salma Hayek) of this character of Jackson -- and a new eccentric villain, now played by Antonio Banderas. Fun is guaranteed, with some doses of action. However, the warning remains: many elements seen in the first movie are repeated exhaustively, despite the freshness that Hayek brings to the story. And Reynolds is the most fun, but doing the same character as always -- some moments give the impression that he will simply put on the Marvel anti-hero's clothes. An unpretentious movie to pass the time and have fun. Oh, and pay attention: the first song played in the credits is none other than Tim Maia.
