It also helps that Landis’ script is performed by such a great central cast. Rockwell’s “former” killer never feels like he’s a danger to anyone, never mind Kendrick’s Martha and despite the danger both characters face there’s never any real fear or tension – instead the action is played out like a fun slapstick comedy. Unlike similarly pulpy action comedies, Mr. It’s something Landis’ work never seems to get praised for: just how easy (it seems) he can mix genres so well into a cohesive whole. In fact it reminds me very much of films like Jonathan Demme’s Something Wild or one of my all-time favourites Grosse Point Blank – both of which also mixed comedy, action and drama to great effect. Right is the quintessential Max Landis film – much like American Ultra and Chronicle before it, this film is a mish-mash of genres: part romantic comedy, part crime thriller, part action movie, and part comedy. Helmed by Paco Cabezas, whose only other film credit I’ve seen is the Nicolas Cage action thriller Tokarev, Mr. Turns out I’d have one hell of a wait… The film eventually arrived in the UK on a VERY limited cinema release, making this DVD the first chance many (myself included) will have had to see the movie. I didn’t see it back then (as it opened after we left Canada) and spent the next few months patiently waiting for it’s official UK cinematic debut. Right came to my attention back in early 2016 when you couldn’t go to the cinema in Toronto without seeing ads – be it posters or trailers – for the film. The only reason I mention this is because Mr. Right, a film that – for reasons unbeknownst to this writer – was agregiously delayed in its original UK debut, not hitting UK shores till December of last year. Everyone loved his script for Chronicle but then some felt American Ultra fell flat (though I rather liked this particular low key spy story). I think I can safely say the work of Max Landis is devisive amongst the film community. As the bodies pile up, Martha needs to decide whether to flee or join in the mayhem. His services are solicited by a dubious client who’s being sought by an equally dubious FBI agent (Tim Roth). Just as Martha begins to realize her new beau wasn’t joking when he said he had to step out for a moment to shoot someone, things start heating up for Francis. However Francis is a hitman with a cause: he kills the people ordering the hits. They seem a perfect match: she’s bananas, he’s bananas… except he’s also a professional assassin. To anyone else, Francis’ approach would come across as creepy, but Martha can’t help but be intrigued. She babbles, parties like a monster, cooks everything in sight – and is looking to do something terrible when she meets Francis (Sam Rockwell).
Hyperactive at the best of times, Martha (Anna Kendrick) has gone full-on manic since her latest breakup.
