Mr. Right

I don’t think there’s an adequate way to review a movie like this. Boiling it down to the base elements doesn’t do it justice. Over-explaining it makes it sound like too much is going on. The shortest version possible: recovering hitman has a meet cute with a girl on the rebound. He’s startlingly up front about what he does, and she thinks it’s a gag ... until it isn’t. But it still doesn’t go where you think. The three principals in this movie are a delight. Anna Kendrick is a superball of energy, manic in an enjoyable, nutty way. Tim Roth plays against type as a bad guy that isn’t overtly evil, just ... not on the side of the protagonist. And Sam Rockwell is, as always, magic to watch. The fight choreography is spectacular, the dialogue is witty and engaging, the characters are fun, even the bad guys are enjoyable to watch. It’s just a damned good time.
