This week on Coming Distractions, Jay and Carrie sit down to discuss the newly release action-comedy, Hitman's Bodyguard, starring Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson. When the first trailer for The Hitman’s Bodyguard debuted, people at first seemed to take it as a joke (largely due to the usage of “I Will Always Love You”) only to realize that, no, this was a real movie about to release in 2017. Starring Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson, the film manages to be an entertaining two-hour romp despite not doing anything really new or particularly memorable for the action film genre. The story follows a freelance special protection agent, Michael Bryce (Reynolds), who experiences a fall from grace after one of his high-profile clients is killed off. Years later, Bryce is brought in to help covertly escort a notorious contract killer, Darius Kincaid (Jackson), across Europe so that he can testify at the International Court of Justice against Vladislav Dukhovich (Gary Oldman), the brutal dictator of Belarus. Kincaid was originally to be escorted by a group of Interpol agents, but a mole within Interpol gave away his location, leading to Bryce and Kincaid being pursued by Dukhovich’s team of mercenaries throughout the film.

This week Jay and Micah sit down to discuss the latest film from Oscar Award winning actress, Halle Berry, as a mother fighting desperately to save her son in "Kidnap." The plot is extremely simple and yet the film manages to miss the mark at almost every turn. Utilizing 6 film production companies and making a film that is almost identical to her last major outing, Kidnap is a unique example of a throwaway project from beginning to end. Cast: Halle Berry Sage Correa Chris McGinn Lew Temple Budget: $20 Million

Kathryn Bigelow's latest film dives deeply into the Algiers Motel incident during the 1967 Detroit riots. Dealing with police brutality and its constant march against innocent Black Americans and the outcome that comes along with it are the central themes of this film. Taking her knowledge of war filming, Bigelow is able to craft a film that focuses on the characters far more than the situation and brings the violence and racism leveled against them to the forefront with expert skill. Breakout performances from Algee Smith, John Boyega, and Will Poulter help to show the gravity of choices on the perpetrators and their victims. PREMISE: A police raid in Detroit in 1967 results in a days long riot. The story is centered on the Algiers Motel incident, which occurred in Detroit, Michigan on July 25, 1967, during the racially charged 12th Street Riot. It involves the death of three black men and the beatings of nine other people: seven black men and two white women.
