I have way more complicated feelings about The
Hitman’s Bodyguard than I initially expected. On one hand, it’s a modestly entertaining 1980s style action throwback about two-mismatched bros in
the vein of Lethal Weapon, Beverly Hills
Cop, 48 hrs., and really any movie of that era
where a white dude and a black dude—one stuffy, one impetuous—team up. And it
delivers a fair approximation of those movies.
