Mr. Right (I) (2015)
7/10
Romantic Action Comedy
26 September 2019
A woman breaks up with her scum bag boyfriend and goes on a bender. Following this she catches the eye of a psychopathic hit man and they hit it off.

This is a romantic comedy - action movie hybrid. For this to work both the romance and the violence has to be reeled back in a bit diluting both genres. This isn't a problem for Mr Right as it is also very funny. There are jokes about relationships and murder and both me and my girlfriend enjoyed this immensely.

There is a really great balancing act here between Anna Kendrick's sweetness vs Sam Rockwell's craziness and Tim Roth's cold, British, pragmatism. All three do an amazing job and the characters work well.

The story feels very familiar and there isn't anything particularly new here (this film is 5 years old at time of review) but it chugs along happily.

I found the ending was a little too cheesy and made me cringe a little.

This is good fun! It is probably best not too hard about it just soak up the action, the romance and the one liners
