Given that the first installment was a rehash of the standard tropes we’ve seen in dozens of previous odd couple buddy movies, one that was elevated almost solely by the banter between leads Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson, hopes and expectations weren’t particularly high heading into last summer’s Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard.
And yet, Patrick Hughes’ sequel still managed to disappoint, opting to coast by on star power, charm, and natural charisma above any sort of plot-driven excitement, well-staged action sequences, or even CGI that wasn’t pulled from the very bottom drawer.
