“The Hitman’s Bodyguard” was very unpleasant initially because of the abnormally loud volume. How come theatre’s cant’ figure this out? The decibel level was deafening and dangerous. With fingers in my ears, I was able to weather the beginning of the film. Then there was the girl in front of me checking her phone every 5 minutes with it’s bright distracting screen. Let’s learn some etiquette!
Now that I have my complaints out of the way, let’s get to the film. There were motorcycles, cars, vans, buses, trucks, trains, boats, helicopters and more. In this action packed, high-speed film, I could not understand everything that was said or done. Luckily this did not distract from the linear story line, great acting, with eye candy for every taste (Elodie Yung, Ryan Reynolds, Samuel L Jackson). Impressive and amazing views of London, Amsterdam and the Hague, makes me want to visit and travel. There is plenty of humour, in a film that did not take itself too seriously. Let’s not forget love and the preaching about what is important in life.
Intellectual, it is not. Yes there is a lot of violence, swearing and action, enough to make your head spin, but at the same time, it allows for pure escapism. Shockingly for me, I did enjoy this film.
