"This classy palate-cleanser in Venice’s 2021 selection has distinct upmarket commercial prospects and will be an irresistible choice for fests". "Richly witty, packed with psychological hairpin bends". (Jonathan Romney, ScreenDaily).

"... the Spanish comedy-drama is a highly entertaining entry with winning performances from Penelope Cruz, Antonio Banderas and Oscar Martínez" (Anna Smith, Deadline).

"...two hours of sharp reflections deliciously wrapped in entertaining antics." (Lovia Gyarkye, The Hollywood Reporter).

"Big laughs and searing insights into the artistic process power this highly enjoyable film world satire." (David Jenkins, Little White Lies).

The world’s most lethal odd couple – bodyguard Michael Bryce (Ryan Reynolds) and hitman Darius Kincaid (Samuel L. Jackson) – are back on another life-threatening mission.

Still unlicensed and under scrutiny, Bryce is forced into action by Darius’s even more volatile wife, the infamous international con artist Sonia Kincaid (Salma Hayek).

As Bryce is driven over the edge by his two most dangerous protectees, the trio get in over their heads in a global plot and soon find that they are all that stand between Europe and a vengeful and powerful madman (Antonio Banderas).

Joining in the fun and deadly mayhem is Morgan Freeman, in a surprise role.

Hitman's Wife’s Bodyguard, the sequel to the blockbuster Hitman’s Bodyguard is released by Prorom in cinemas on June 18th.
