The aspect of making history both entertaining but also prevalent in character is a balance, especially when it involves action and comedy. With "The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare", director Guy Ritchie uses his approach to again make something off-the-cuff.

The aspect of big star vehicles made because of a good relationship between partners can either be great or a miss in certain ways. "Red Notice", an uber budgeted action comedy on Netflix starring Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot has a good concept and just wants to have fun but is that needed for such a large scale film? Yes and no.

"Copshop", a lower budget but efficient par-for-the-course entry from director Joe Carnahan continues to shows his love but also texture to make small taut action movies.

Ryan Reynolds is currently and easily the biggest star in "The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard" but he knows when you have the generation before you with their heavy hitters playing in the sandbox that you let them do their thing. That takes a confident star (and a penitent one too).

The laughs are still there, Smith and Lawrence do their jobs well but they do lumber more, especially Lawrence but that is the point of the story. Smith understands this and is smart about it. What is also glaring, but more of a nitpick, is that one can tell that much of the film is not shot in Miami.
