Ryan Reynolds described his Bryce character as "a man who suffered from extraordinary hubris and took a fall from grace. Bryce lost a client which has sent him into a downward spiral of shame. We find him two years after the incident and though he's probably still the best in the business, he's basically at a loss. Then his ex-girlfriend asks him to do this job he really doesn't want but that he needs. In a nutshell, he has to protect a man who has spent the better part of a decade trying to kill him." That's how Bryce comes to accompany his insufferable foe Kincaid (Samuel L. Jackson) through a maze of lethal obstacles, and ends up confronting himself in the process. "Bryce can be arrogant and prideful - and Kincaid pushes all those buttons," Reynolds explained. "He's got Bryce's number whether Bryce would like to admit that or not. Therein lies the connection that happens between these two guys. In a weird way Kincaid ends up making my character look at himself, and in the unsettling way only Sam Jackson can."
