The Hitman's Bodyguard

• Action
• Comedy
• Crime
• Thriller

A relentlessly kinetic action-comedy unfolds as a meticulous, reputation-scarred bodyguard begrudgingly protects a notoriously flamboyant hitman during a chaotic transatlantic journey to The Hague. Unlike typical buddy cop pairings, the humor stems not from shared camaraderie but from escalating exasperation and a constantly shifting power dynamic, bordering on mutual sabotage. Their unlikely partnership isn’t born of respect, but of necessity driven by both a looming international trial and the sheer force of relentless assassins pursuing them. The escalating absurdity—fueled by the hitman’s constant demands and the bodyguard’s increasingly desperate attempts to maintain control—creates a uniquely breathless, almost slapstick tension, disrupting the conventional stoicism expected within the action genre. This is less a story of overcoming differences and more a survival pact forged in mutual annoyance, punctuated by impressively staged, highly improbable escapes.
