Full reviewRyan Reynolds, Samuel L. Jackson, Salma Hayek and director Patrick Hughes reunite for the sequel to the 2017 action comedy, The Hitman's Bodyguard. Morgan Freeman and Antonio Banderas round out the all-star cast.

Still unlicensed and under scrutiny, Michael is forced into action by Darius’s even more volatile wife, the infamous international con artist Sonia Kincaid (Hayek). The trio get in over their heads in a global plot and soon find that they are all that stands between Europe and a vengeful and powerful madman (Banderas)." (Official synopsis)
