The threesome will nabbed by Bobby O'Neill (Frank Grillo), an agent from Boston temporarily working for Interpol at the behest of Inspector Crowley (Caroline Goodall). Still, he reluctantly heads to Zagreb with her to free Darius from the notorious Carlo, only packing mace per his therapist’s demands to quit the guns. He’s also decided to crib the “Fast & Furious” ‘family’ theme which adds a bit of comedy but is hardly original.ĭespite his apparent hatred for Kincaid, the insecure Bryce is a bit tickled to learn he’s been requested when Sonia grabs him off his lounge chair amidst a hail of gunfire.

As Kincaid’s wife Sonia, Salma Hayek also kicked up the comedy in her brief appearances, so one would expect that more Hayek would be a good thing. “The Hitman’s Bodyguard” was a sporadically amusing action comedy that worked because of the odd couple chemistry of Jackson and Reynolds paired with a few exciting set pieces.
