Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard

Michael Bryce, the highly paid protection expert, teams up with feared hitman Darius Kincaid once more when a new life threatening assignment drops into their laps. Bryce remains unlicensed and under skeptical eyes, forcing him to work alongside Darius and the volatile Sonia Kincaid, a master con artist who complicated their lives before. The trio becomes embroiled in a globe spanning scheme that tests their loyalties and skills, pulling them through a high stakes chase across cities and borders. As danger closes in, it becomes clear that only this unlikely alliance can stop a ruthless scheme and save lives. The tension escalates as international contacts, law enforcement and a charismatic villain pull strings behind the scenes. The movie keeps a brisk rhythm and sharp banter as the trio handles car chases, escapes, and witty one liners.

Directed by Patrick Hughes, the film features an original screenplay by Tom O'Connor, Phillip Murphy and Brandon Murphy, delivering the same brisk, self aware humor that defined the first film and keeps the pace lively for audiences.

The film grossed about 70,060,492 worldwide on a budget of 70,000,000, marking a modest near break-even performance. It opened across multiple territories and aimed to capitalize on the franchise's established audience and star powered lineup in several key markets globally.

Fans of the franchise remember the film for its fast paced set pieces and the unlikely chemistry between Reynolds, Hayek and Jackson, delivering punchy quips and over the top action that keeps the tone light despite danger. Visual gags and stunts, from chases to escapes, leave a sense of chaos.

Critical responses were mixed with appreciation for the cast's chemistry and nonstop energy, though some noted the humor can feel repetitive and the plot thin. Viewers who enjoy loud banter and exotic set pieces will likely find the movie entertaining while others may wish for sharper writing.
