Whether you are an action junkie or not, this is a definite must-watch for any movie enthusiast.
The world’s top protection agent, Michael Bryce, played by Ryan Reynolds, must protect and guard the life of his mortal enemy, one of the world’s most notorious hitmen, Daius Kincaid (Samuel L Jackson).
The relentless bodyguard and manipulative assassin have been on the opposite end of the bullet for years and are thrown together for a wildly outrageous 24 hours.
Accepting a job from Interpol, Bryce must transport Kincaid from Manchester to the Hague where he is set to testify against a tyrannical Belarusian dictator who has had all other witnesses eliminated.
During their journey from England to the Hague in the Netherlands, they encounter high-speed car chases, outlandish boat escapades and a number of merciless Eastern European henchmen who are out for blood and determined not to let Kincaid get anywhere near the trial.
It is a race against the clock – they only have 24 hours to get to the Hague before the trial is suspended and the dictator goes free – and the mismatched duo must put aside their grudge in a non-stop rain of bullets.
This is a fun caper which will see every action fan on the edge of their seats, cheering for the good guys (even if the good guy is a convicted killer), and cheering when both men are able to extract themselves from a number of hair-raising predicaments.
