Movie review
June 14, 2021 · 117 min · R · Comedy · Crime · Action · Thriller
Michael Bryce is a suspended bodyguard who wants a quiet break after a messy past job. Hitman Darius Kincaid and his loud wife Sonia drag him back into danger across Europe. They must stop a rich Greek villain who plans a huge cyberattack on the power grid. The film is loud, crude, and full of chases, fights, and constant yelling.
The story sticks to buddy-movie chaos, personal grudges, and a cartoon bad guy. Sonia is a wild, foul-mouthed con artist who causes most of the mayhem, and that fits the franchise’s silly style. The main bond is the odd team of Bryce, Darius, and Sonia as they argue, shoot, and race to stop the attack. The movie is about loyalty, revenge, and over-the-top action comedy, not modern identity politics.

Breakdown
These are the editorial factors and ratings behind our score for Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard.
Woke representation / casting
Not present. International stars in roles that fit a global crime story set across Europe; prominent female lead as a foul-mouthed con artist adds chaos without identity signaling or story mismatches.
14%
Woke political dialogue
Heavy on crude threats, insults, and banter; zero political speeches, activist lines, or modern social commentary.
5%
Identity-driven story themes
Centers on personal revenge, hitman loyalty, and stopping a mad villain; no race, gender, or identity plotlines. Villain's anti-EU ultranationalism appears as cartoonish villainy in a madman plot making fun of nationalist.
