Storyline;
With is reputation
in tatters after a painfully unsuccessful delivery of a
distinguished Japanese client, a 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, and as a result, it
won'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 paint A to point B,
nevertheless, Kincaid, as the only one with the guts 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 clock as the mismatched duo will have to put
aside their grudges, in a non-stop concerto for bullets
Thoughts;
This movie had laughs and action throughout and of course the love story with the happy ending.
It wasn't a keep-you-guessing type of movie as it was rather obvious what was going to happen next, however it was funny!
The movie starts out with Michael Bryce getting his Japanese client to the airport, when his client is safely on the plane he feels like he can relax when all of a sudden there are screaming and you see the mans bloody head against the plane window. It then cuts to 2 years later and we now see Bryce in a crappy car and is now just a normal bodyguard.
From here we go into the story of the leader who is now on trial. We meet Darius Kincaid making a deal to get his wife out of prison if he testifies at the trial. He agrees after stating that his wife in innocent and shouldn't be locked up anyway but good luck getting him to the trial. The transport vehicles take off and all hell breaks loose. This is when the action truly starts and the fun begins.
There are lots of F-Bombs in this movie so if your offended by that, don't watch it. It does have Samuel L. Jackson afterall and should be expected.
