The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard

The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard is the sequel to The Hitman’s Bodyguard, bringing back Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson in their usual dynamic fashion. Their chemistry once again works well—they bounce off each other effortlessly and bring plenty of energy to the screen. However, this time around, the film feels more chaotic and unfocused. Adding Salma Hayek’s character to the core trio brings a new level of intensity, but also adds to the feeling that the movie is somewhat all over the place. While Hayek is undeniably a talented actress with great screen presence, her performance here often feels exaggerated to the point of being hard to take seriously. Her character is loud, aggressive, and relentlessly sexualized, which makes it difficult to connect with her on any emotional or grounded level. The film leans more heavily into absurd comedy and over-the-top scenarios than its predecessor, but in doing so, it loses some of the charm and balance that made the original fun. The storyline struggles to stay cohesive, and the constant barrage of jokes and mayhem eventually starts to wear thin. That said, it’s not a bad movie—it has entertaining moments and some genuinely funny exchanges, particularly between Reynolds and Jackson. It just doesn’t live up to the potential of its cast or the foundation laid by the first film. While I wouldn’t personally revisit it, I still recommend giving it at least one watch. It’s worth checking out for the chemistry between the leads and a few solid laughs, even if it ultimately falls short of expectations.

Wow!!! That was fun!! Plenty of action, shooting, car chases, and explosions to make it thrilling!! And an awesome all-star cast! Oh, did i mention, plenty of great humor!! I would watch this again just for the fun! Cool story line, too! Plenty to keep you engaged! I would recommend this to anyone that would enjoy the lighter and humorous side of action films. I totally enjoyed it!

Pushing the limits of pure insanity in tone and character, Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard is an aggravating indication that this nascent series ought to be retired.

The fun continues in this sequel with more action and comedy. The movie flows somewhat better than the first but not enough to set it apart.

I loved the original and this is as good. Not many movies keep me laughing all the way though. Ryan & Samual are so good at the comedic banter. Hope they make more & absolutely keep Salma!

Better than the first one! So good.

This movie dragged on & I found it more annoying than enjoyable, this first one was better for sure. I liked the idea of the wife being more involved in this one, unfortunately she was cringe in most scenes even more so than Samual Jackson.

Just look at the popcornmeter . Rotton tomatoes critics have no flexibility to bend in the right posistion to remove the stick in there butt .

True to the statement that the sequel is never as good as the original. Funny enough to be entertaining, but an underwhelming follow-up to a great movie with even better comedy. With a plot that is serviceable and twists that are predictable, it has some funny quips, tongue-in-cheek lore, and lots of wonderful comedic acting by Ryan Reynolds, Salma Hayek, Antonio Banderas, Samuel L. Jackson, and Morgan Freeman.

Filled with a lot of comedy, good to see Reynolds and Jackson and Hayek back in Action
