He's in therapy, he's on sabbatical, and he's hating it. Returning to the action-packed and familiar world of Michael Bryce (Ryan Reynolds), a one time AAA licensed bodyguard - if you're wondering why we mentioned his license status, it's actually and bafflingly a key part of the plot - whose life was turned upside down in the last movie, the hero is now struggling to deal with his new status quo as an unlicensed bodyguard. If you disliked The Hitman's Bodyguard then this sequel barely improves on it, although it does ambitiously aim to be entirely unlike any other movie simply by being so derivative and out-and-out weird that you might think it's an okay "WTF" watch. But while The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard is a sequel to a script that wasn't based on an already existing IP, it still feels like a stretch to call it original. It's rare to have an original action movie in the superhero-saturated landscape of 2021.
