It's a nice change from "trying to control the world's information" or "trying to destroy the world to prevent climate change." The notion of a trained bodyguard trying to save the day without leaving a trail of corpses added a nice contrast to the usual R-rated action template. Patrick Hughes' The Hitman's Bodyguard was no classic, but it was a big, R-rated, star-driven meat-and-potatoes action-comedy that remembered to balance the meat and potatoes. The farce on display this time out makes Rush Hour 2 look like The Corrupter. By the end of the film, sorry for the spoilers, justice is done, honor is restored.
The behavior of this film is not consistent with the R-era action template.
