Only Bryce doesn't move at all - he keeps staring at the blood-splattered plane window, apparently unable to comprehend that his perfect plan turned out to have at least one fatal flaw.

Bryce starts texting "no problems so far" to Amelia while Kincaid is taking a leak. He hasn't even sent it when he's forced to notice Kincaid's sudden absence. After the shootout in which Dukhovich's mercs blew up their car and cooked off Bryce's ammo reserves in its trunk, Kincaid calms him down by pointing out the mercs' undamaged, stocked-up vehicle nearby. Cue one more round cooking off, shooting along the street and blowing up this car as well in a single hit. Kincaid finds this Actually Pretty Funny.

But, since he has such a massive case of Never My Fault, he's still an egocentric jackass even then.

The Hitman's Bodyguard / int_3322dd48	comment	Hollywood Law: Massive liberties are taken to make Kincaid's testimony the only thing that can bring down Dukhovich. A victim whose family was killed in front of him and was put in a work camp for three years has his entire testimony dismissed out of hand, with the implications that all of the other witnesses so far have had the same. Such testimony would not simply be declared "hearsay" (which, by the way, is when a witness is asked what they were told happened by somebody else, not when they're asked what they themselves witnessed) and struck even if the defense claimed they were merely political opponents doing smear jobs. Somehow Kincaid was the only person to have pictures as proof of Dukhovich's crimes despite this being set in the modern day, and that is the only kind of evidence that seems to work. Also, it is entirely possible to have witnesses testify from remote locations. Kincaid could easily have testified on a video chat from his cell and given the website information from there. This is common practice when the witness might be endangered by coming to the trial. Even disregarding the above, you'd think the court would be a little more lax with the Exact Time to Failure considering that someone racked up a massive body count of officers and agents trying to murder Kincaid en route to the Hague.

The Hitman's Bodyguard / int_39b8d3d6	comment	Boring, but Practical: Bryce is the trope personified. He is almost completely pragmatic in his decision making, choosing to get things done with minimal fuss (such as picking a practical family car as a getaway vehicle versus a souped up sports car). Kincaid finds this trait to be boring and frustrating even if playing it safe is the smart choice. In one instance, when dealing the group of men hired by Dukhovich to kill Kincaid, Bryce decides to just knock the mooks out so nearby authorities won't notice. Of course, the first thing Kincaid does is blow that plan to smithereens.

Later he does everything he can to try and cover his tracks, including attempting to murder Amelia on the premises of the freaking International Court of Justice in The Hague. His actions as an evil dictator aside, Dukhovich doesn't earn any "Boss of the Year" points himself when he renegs on his deal with Foucher after the latter offered Kincaid up on a silver platter and Dukhovich's men failed to kill him in a prepared ambush. He has the gall to imply that it was Foucher who failed after Dukhovich's men failed at taking out their target.

At face value, the clean-cut, friendly bodyguard-for-hire Bryce is the good guy, and the surly, foul-mouthed, assassin-for-hire Kincaid is the bad guy. But Kincaid points out to Bryce that a lot of the people he's hired to protect have done evil things, and Kincaid is often hired to kill those same kinds of people. Bryce later retorts that he isn't the one who chose a career where he actively chooses to kill people, positing that murder is amoral even against Asshole Victims. The film doesn't decidedly support either side, just uses these arguments to make Bryce rethink his black-and-white views of his line of work.

In act three of the film he finally gives up on trying to predict what Kincaid's going to do and just follows behind him to cover his six. It even turns out that what happened in the prologue was one of these. Bryce predicted and compensated for everything that could possibly go wrong while transporting Kurosawa, except Kincaid, by sheer dumb luck, being on a rooftop within rifle shot of Kurosawa's plane, having set up there with the intention of killing some other rich and powerful bad guy, and happened to recognize Kurosawa.

Bryce is introduced flashing back to his greatest failure before cutting back to present day, where he has lost his status as a high-class bodyguard, is pissing into a juice bottle, and living out of his car. All which precede him extracting his client out of his home while revealing that he had taken care of all incoming assailants, figured out that the client's car was rigged with explosives, and saved the client's dog. Sonia debuts doing yoga in a prison cell while forcing her terrified cellmate to stand in one corner facing the wall the whole time. Then she takes a phone call from Darius and begins yelling and cursing at him. Upon hearing him wince from removing a bullet from his leg, however, she stops and asks if he's okay.

Cue one more round cooking off, shooting along the street and blowing up this car as well in a single hit. Kincaid finds this Actually Pretty Funny.

Ivan takes it to a stunning extreme by continuing to fight with a huge nail shot into his forehead and a frickin' axe head lodged in his belly.

The climax takes place at a courthouse and the villain causes a disturbance, followed by him shooting at a protagonist causing another character to take the bullet for him, then the protagonist chases the villain on the courthouse's rooftop and eventually corners him with the villain attempting to taunt the protagonist, only for the protagonist to shove the villain off the roof to his death in revenge for his friend, and the villain lands on a car below. Sound familiar? The Japanese client Bryce fails to protect in the opening is named Kurosawa.

Then, later, after getting nearly tortured to death, Bryce calls Amelia again, more apologetic and humble for blaming her for every bad thing that happened to him after his client was killed, especially since it turns out Kincaid was responsible; Amelia still is indifferent and just wants Kincaid at the trial. When the fate of a piece of human garbage being punished is determined on the sole testimony of a man being in a courtroom, alive, it really isn't a good time to try to patch things up with your ex. In fact, Amelia and Bryce are only able to do that at the near end, when Dukhovich is killed. Though it's also implied that Bryce wanted to let her know his regrets in case he doesn't survive.

The Hitman's Bodyguard / int_ead7e42e	comment	Walking Armory: When Kincaid finally enters the ICJ in The Hague, the metal detectors object immediately. Cue Kincaid producing at least half a dozen well-concealed handguns from various pockets of his suit while Bryce is looking on in exasperation, having had no idea that his charge had acquired so many guns without him noticing. And all the while the clock's ticking...

The Hitman's Bodyguard / int_f237981e	comment	The Alleged Car: The movie takes great pleasure in heaping scorn on the Ford Focus C-Max Bryce keeps choosing over much cooler cars like a Jaguar XF. Then the frantic chase through The Hague happens and the movie makes a 180 by letting that humble C-Max survive an incredible amount of abuse from stuff it was never meant to endure. By the end it's completely wrecked but still serviceable enough to get the protagonists to their final destination. D'awww...

The majority of the security for the convoy transporting Kincaid to the ICC is provided by French GIPN operatives. They are accompanied by firearms officers from the UK's National Crime Agency, which has been dubbed "the British FBI". An Armed Response Unit from the West Midlands Police responds to the gunfight that takes place in the Interpol safe house in Coventry. The International Criminal Court is guarded by heavily armed members of the Royal Netherlands Army aligned with the United Nations.

On a job he received a call saying that Sonia had been in a serious car accident, so rushed back to Mexico City to visit her in hospital without thinking of doing any prior surveillance. However, upon arrival he was not greeted by his wife but a dozen armed agents who arrested him.

In the last scene, she is appeased because he broke out prison to avoid missing their anniversary. Bryce keeps annoying Kincaid with his demands that he buckle up every time they're in a car. The one time Bryce himself doesn't follow this rule, he's promptly ejected through the windshield when Kincaid crashes their ride. Kincaid being who he is, he doesn't waste a second poking fun at his unwanted companion.
