This begins the start of a road trip across England to get on a boat to The Netherlands. She goes right back to work at Interpol, where they swiftly put her on leave for the disastrous mission, and the handoff to some rando. One would think that a witness who is in mortal danger could have two protectors, especially when one is the police, but Roussel deduces that because there is a mole in Interpol, she can’t come along. Rather than accompany them on the trip, she leaves them to go it alone. Bryce’s phone contact for her is “pure evil,” but the anger is really one-sided: he thinks that she was responsible for the single biggest failure of his career. He’s so apathetic that his bottle of piss doesn’t even make it into a trash can, it stays in his car, the backseat of which “smells like ass.” Apparently in Bryce’s heyday he was in a relationship with Roussel, so she calls on him for help.

His career in shambles, he has been reduced to being a bodyguard-for-hire for bad attorneys, and he seems to live a transient lifestyle out of a car. That is, until Reynolds’ character Bryce shows up. His knee has been shot so he can’t run away, but because he was convinced to do the testimony in exchange for the freedom of his wife, he opts to remain in Roussel’s custody for the remainder of the transport. Naturally the escort mission goes terribly wrong and ends in a bloody shoot-out, with Roussel and Kincaid as the last two standing. One of the Interpol officers, Amelia Roussel (Elodie Yung), is put in charge of his police escort from Manchester, England to the International Court in The Hague for the trial. Interpol requests his testimony as a witness against the dictator president of Belarus (Gary Oldman). What is the story, then? Well, that’s where it gets contrived, because why would a hitman need protection if they’re basically a killing machine all on their own? There’s also Salma Hayek as Kincaid’s surly wife, imprisoned for a crime, probably murder, in Amsterdam. There’s lots of bloody action violence and car chases. Reynolds plays Michael Bryce, a rules-oriented bodyguard whose career has tanked since the assassination of a major client. Jackson is delightful as the career hitman Darius Kincaid, a role with an edge of cartoonishness seemingly written with only Jackson in mind. Jackson and Ryan Reynolds team up in The Hitman’s Bodyguard, an action-comedy that is a fun and dumb summer romp.
