Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Hitman's Bodyguard (2017)

Ryan Reynolds is a former top-tier bodyguard reduced to cruddy little gigs after he lost a client. He's called in by an ex to protect an assassin (Samuel L. Jackson) who's on his way to testify for the government after the team originally assigned to do it is wiped out. Wouldn't ya know it? The bodyguard and the assassin have history.

Plenty of movies attempt this (see any of Kevin Hart's action comedies), but here they nail the formula. It's a great time.
