a5c7b9f00b Belarussian dictator Vladislav Dukhovich is standing trial for genocide. The trial is not going well for the prosecution - their witnesses tend to turn up dead. They have one trump card though - hitman Darius Kincaid is willing to testify against Dukhovich. Interpol try to get Kincaid to the trial but after the convoy is ambushed, Interpol agent Amelia Roussel, aware that there is a Dukhovich spy in her own organisation, calls in outside help - professional bodyguard Michael Bryce. One problem - Bryce and Kincaid hate each other. With his reputation in tatters after a painfully unsuccessful delivery of a distinguished Japanese client, former triple-A executive protection agent, Michael Bryce, two long years after the disgraceful incident, is now reduced to a mere second-class bodyguard for hire. Under those circumstances, Bryce would do anything to prove his worth once again, anda result, it won&#39;t be long before he accepts an offer from Interpol to escort the renowned international assassin Darius Kincaid from Manchester to the Hague. The task seems simple: Bryce only needs to transport the contract killer from point A to point B, nevertheless, Kincaid,the only one with the guts and enough hard evidence to testify against a tyrannical Belarusian dictator, is an obvious target, while the trip to the Netherlands is long and hazardous. Without a doubt, this is a race against the clockthe mismatched duo will have to put aside their grudges, in a non-stop concerto for bullets. This movie has absolutely nothing new or special to offer. The &quot;acting&quot;, action, humor, you&#39;ve seen it all before. What makes it watchable is the chemistry between Jackson and Reynolds, the obvious fun they&#39;re having, and the speed of this movie which never gets slow.<br/><br/>You don&#39;t have to do it for the story, because every bit of story or &quot;so called character development&quot; is just a tool to pass the time to the next action scene. You don&#39;t have to do it for the acting. Everything is so over the top, and the horrible dutch accents don&#39;t help either. Only Gary Oldman shows some skill here, but he&#39;s lost in the mess.<br/><br/>You do it for the fun. We went to the cinema and had to choose between coffee or beer. Luckily, we chose beer. Jackson and Reynolds aren&#39;t the best actors, with Reynolds being a one-trick pony. But the fun they&#39;re having on screen is contagious, so you might just have a good time. Take the beer, though. This was the best movie i have seen ever. Everything was lit. Action/Humour EVERYTHING. The cast seems game, and perhaps they realize it’s on them to elevate the material, so the scenes between Reynolds and Jackson have some genuine snap to them, even though the dialogue and characterization are barely memorable.
