    The Hitman's Bodyguard

    This kind of casting auto-writes an entire script, in the best way.

    Most overrated movie of 2017 on every message boards. I can feel it.
    Quote Quoting Donald Glover
    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    Man. People really find Ryan Reynolds and Sam Jackson cursing to be way more endearing than I do.

    It's a Ryan Reynolds vehicle. So it's pretty much guaranteed to flop.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Btw, what has Patrick Hughes done that would suggest this would be something people would love? Isn't that step 1 before it's overrated?

    This looks like it sucks dead monkey ass.

    2015 saw like 6 or 7 Bond-style super-spy movies. I guess this is the year of the bone crunching assassin. (I mean, "Wick" was fun but nobody over the age of 13 needs more of "Headshot: The Movie.")

    People need to stop hiring Sam Jackson to play Sam Jackson. He's a better as an actor than he is as a persona. (He also needs to stop working so much.)

    Weird that Gary Oldman, Salma Hayek, and Elodie Yung are in the cast but not in the trailer.

    I can't believe that somebody hired Ryan Reynolds to do anything outside of "Deadpool." I know that Hollywood has a short memory but holy shit.

    Also, this comes out like 2 weeks after "Atomic Blonde," so I think it's fucked regardless.

    His Australian 'Red Hill' with an Indian serial killer on the loose, and Jim Goose from Mad Max as the sheriff was actually kinda cool.
