    The Hitman's Bodyguard

    Went to see it with the wife. We both enjoyed it - could have dialed down the language - but it was a hoot. No redeeming social value, no lessons imparted, just over the top action.

    Critics hated it. Oh, well.

    I hadn't heard anything about this one until I spied a promo poster for it in a Wal-Mart of all places the other day.

    IIRC Samuel L. Jackson stars in it so yeah that explains the language lol.

    It'll be a rental when available. Lot's of shoot'em ups being released lately.

    Yeah, I saw the trailer when we went to see Atomic Blonde.

    My wife thought it was socially un-redeeming enough that I'd like it. It was a fun movie, nothing more.

    There are movies where a touch of Samuel J. Is just perfect.

    There are far more that have been ruined where he was not, or we got far more than a touch.

    He is sort of the diametrically opposed opposite/ yin to the yang of Jeff Goldblum. Another niche actor that can be the perfect touch, but we get too much of him, or where it was not the right touch.

    For some reason, although Christopher Walken is a similar you get what you get niche type, I can't see enough of that guy.
