A cast filled with some of Hollywood's most charismatic stars is entirely sqaundered in this redundant action comedy sequel that seemingly goes out of its way to not be entertaining.
Elite private bodyguard Michael Bryce (Ryan Reynolds) is on sabbatical after the events of the first film when Sonia Kincaid (Salma Hayek) shows up and drafts him in to recover her kidnapped hitman husband Darius (Samuel L. Jackson). With that situation sorted relatively quickly, the trio are then tasked by an interpol agent (Frank Grillo) with helping to bring down a Greek terrorist played by Antonio Banderas.
It's all really just an excuse for a series of loud but inelegantly shot action sequences, and some even louder bickering between the actors.
Although they are two of the world's most winning leading men, Jackson and Reynolds didn't demonstrate a huge amount of chemistry in their first outing together, and that situation hasn't been remedied here.
