‘Mr. Right’ (2015). Anna Kendrick, Sam Rockwell, and Tim Roth.
A surprisingly good action/rom com. It uses a rather hackneyed plot of the jilted girl falling for a hit man on the run from his former employers, but manages to improve it a lot. For example, Rockwell plays the hitman who has a moral epiphany that murder is wrong, so now he only kills the people who hire him, instead of killing the people they hire him to kill.
Anna Kendrick is playing to type as the goofy hot girl who doesn’t realize how hot she is, but it works for her.
Tim Roth is a little long in the tooth for action roles, but manages a creditable job in this one.
Very good supporting part by Rza.
7.5/10
