First reactions for The Hitman’s Bodyguard

The first reactions are in for The Hitman’s Bodyguard starring Samuel L. Jackson and Ryan Reynolds. The comedy action film was screened in the US last night for a select audience and their reactions have since arrived online.

They’re generally very positive, with many labelling the film as “funny”, “entertaining” and “hilarious”. While one person says the lead duo have “amazing chemistry”. It’s worth noting though, that audiences selected for screenings do tend to give more generous responses. The real test will be when we hear from critics.
