This is one of my favorite buddy action comedies.
The hitman's bodyguard is about a professional bodyguard that is hired to protect an assassin who is making a testimony at a court. In order to get there on time, the bodyguard must protect him. The plot is super original. I have never quite seen anything like it. I love the plot. It is truly intelligent.
Everyone's performances are perfect. Ryan Reynolds plays a super sarcastic character and he does it so well, Samuel Jackson also plays a great character, priceless. And Salma Hayek's character is absolutely hilarious. Though she has little screen time, the screen time she has is gold. The acting was perfect from everyone in the movie in my opinion. They made it very believable.
The cinematography was very good in this movie. The only aspect in the cinematography category that I did not like was the soundtrack, the music they decided to play at certain times was awful. But the rest. The audio was perfect, I watched it at 59% volume and it was perfectly easy to hear, the visuals were great, great graphics, and it was easy to tell what was going on in most of the action sequences (which were great by the way).
This is an extremely entertaining movie. It is so fun and so funny. Unlike spenser confidential, it manages to be very suspenseful and hilarious at the same time. It is enjoyable and memorable. It is perfectly paced. And it is superb.
The movie manages to be ever so slightly emotional. Obviously, they turn it into something funny eventually, but in that time, they manage to make you think a little. So, emotional impact is not too bad.
As for the realism, there are very little implausible moments, however the implausible moments are....very implausible. So, it brings the realism level down a little, but most of it is in the realm of possibility and makes sense. The story is unlikely to happen, but it is possible. I find that the realism is not that low, yet maybe even high.
Every character in this film is necessary. There are no over-the-top characters. They all had use. They all added to the plot in a good way. They were all intelligently written. And the character development was there. I have no complaints for the characters.
The ending is satisfying. Not super predictable, but it is not anything huge or any huge plot twist. I liked the ending, however there was one scene right before the end credits that seemed completely pointless. But the ending overall was good and satisfying.
In conclusion: Plot: 9.8/10 Acting: 10/10 Cinematography: 9.3/10 Entertainment level: 10/10 Emotional impact: 7.9/10 Realism: 9.1/10 Characters: 10/10 Ending: 8.9/10
Final rating: 93.75%.
