I never heard of this movie before I saw it coming up on Cinemax. Now I am glad that I watched it. It is a really fun and funny movie. The sense of humor is very dark, but the characters are so cool. I just finished it, and the leads have great chemistry, and the story really moves along. Sam Rockwell's Mr. Right (don't call him Francis!) has fun being a hired killer who kills those who hire him, dancing while he is shooting and killing people, while wearing a clown nose. And Anna Kendrick plays a really quirky girl who really gets into her man's lifestyle, once she realizes he is not joking about being a hit man. And he never lies to her, so she has been hearing the truth from the beginning. Their relationship flows naturally, and the way he teaches her a new and deadly skill excites her as it would in real life. I mean, one way to make a woman feel close to you is to teach her a new skill, and it really does work like this. Anyway, I wish I was in a relationship like theirs, it would be so much fun killing bad guys...heh, heh, heh.November 12, 2017--I just watched it again. And it is still Hi-Larious! Still very enjoyable. And cute little Anna Kendrick really becomes a compatible partner for her man. Why does nobody listen to her...or believe her when she says she is going to kill them? What a fun story! I really need to get the DVD so I can erase it from my DVR!

This is not your typical boy meets girl. In this film, the girl is one of questionable psychological stability, and the boy is a self actualizing gun-for-hire with brain damage... But hey, when you know, you know. The psychotic quirkiness of the characters makes for some highly entertaining television, and no action was sacrificed for the sake of the underlying romantic theme. A fun film with a little something for everybody.

A really endearing thrill-ride of an action romantic comedy. Could have been an awful film if not for the perfect casting. I wasn't expecting much but I was smiling all the way through. Chimes with the millennial quarter-life crisis epidemic.Enjoy this film on a rough day/hangover.
