You’ve got to ‘hand’ it to Ryan and Sam, they look pretty darn cool in this pic! MUST-SEE OF THE MONTH The Hitman’s Bodyguard TBC Reynolds and Jackson are men on a mission in this epic action comedy... DIRECTOR Patrick Hughes STARRING RYAN REYNOLDS, SAMUEL L. JACKSON Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool) and Samuel L. Jackson (The Hateful Eight) in the same live-action movie, with expert support from Salma Hayek (Once Upon a Time in Mexico), Richard E. Grant (Withnail & I) and Gary Oldman (Batman Begins)? You can definitely count us in! Brought to you by Patrick Hughes, director of The Expendables 3 (in other words, a man who knows his no-holds-barred action), this frenetic, witty thriller sees Reynolds playing Michael Bryce, a top-notch executive protection agent (i.e. bodyguard), with killer lines and killer moves. But his latest assignment has him in a spin. He must protect world-renowned hitman Darius Kincaid (Jackson), a man who has tried to kill him no less than 28 times. With goodness-knows-how-many assassins on their trail, the duo must journey from England to the International Court of Justice in The Hague, so Darius can testify and put a very, very bad man away, namely Gary Oldman’s Vladislav Dukhovich, a bloodthirsty Eastern European dictator (and a wonderfully boo-hissable villain). Boat chases. Corking one-liners. Plus, some of the biggest explosions you’ve ever seen on- screen – you’re gonna want to watch this one. 18 AUG MOVIE MATHEMATICS + Cars + Boats + Guns Explosions = The Hitman’s Bodyguard Watch the trailer or when accompanied by an adult 15 Suitable for ages 15+ 18 Adults only odeon.co.uk 19
