Movie Details & Credits

Focus World | Release Date: April 8, 2016 | R

Starring: Anna Kendrick, James Ransone, Sam Rockwell, The RZA, Tim Roth

Summary: Hyperactive at the best of times, Martha (Anna Kendrick) has gone full-on manic since her latest breakup. She babbles, parties like a monster, cooks everything in sight - and is looking to do something terrible when she meets Francis (Sam Rockwell). To anyone else, Francis's approach would come across as creepy, but Martha can't help but beHyperactive at the best of times, Martha (Anna Kendrick) has gone full-on manic since her latest breakup. She babbles, parties like a monster, cooks everything in sight - and is looking to do something terrible when she meets Francis (Sam Rockwell). To anyone else, Francis's approach would come across as creepy, but Martha can't help but be intrigued. They seem a perfect match: she's bananas, he's bananas... except he's a deadly sort of bananas. He's a professional assassin. Francis is a hitman with a cause: he unexpectedly kills the people ordering the hits. 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. His services are solicited by a dubious client who's being sought by an equally dubious FBI agent (Tim Roth). As the bodies pile up, Martha needs to decide whether to flee or join in the mayhem.… Expand

The chemistry between Rockwell and Kendrick drives the movie. They’re fast and wonderful together. But Mr. Right has an abundance of strong supporting performances as well. Read full review

The movie wears its situational zaniness lightly and depends on the rapid-fire dialogue, charm and killer chemistry of its romantic duo. Just enjoy its loopy pleasures. Read full review

A crowd-pleaser despite its missteps and occasionally because of them, the pic enlivens some stale conceits about killers-for-hire and the women who love them. Read full review

Clowning, bullet-riddled rom-com Mr. Right is awfully charming in the best and worse senses of the phrase. It's often kind of awful but also weirdly effervescent, a movie that salves, with its stars' radiance and charisma, even as it grates. Read full review

Anna Kendrick and Sam Rockwell have often been the lone bright spot in otherwise dismal movies, and it takes their combined charm to redeem Mr. Right. Read full review

If truth in advertising applied to movies, they would have titled this one "Reheated Cultural Leftovers." Read full review

Mr Right is Grosse Pointe Blank meets Dexter. Liman meets Tarantino. Derivative idea meets sloppy execution. Read full review

This movie is quirky, amusing and unexpected.

I loved this movie, the American Ultra references were perfect and I loved Anna Kendrick's character. Max Landis is totally underrated, his **** is amazing.

I loved this movie the awkwardness and silliness where just the right amount. It was freakishly fun watching sweet awkward Kendrick melt down to this bad-ass killer that makes you want to giggle in her presence vs cringe... that is as long as her kitten ears aren't on and you aren't kissingI loved this movie the awkwardness and silliness where just the right amount.

An interesting mish mash of film genres. We have the cheated on girlfriend, we have a hit man, we have hit men trying to kill the hit man, we have crime bosses trying to kill off other crime bosses. A little silly but it has it's moments.

The movie is just cute enough to be a 5 because Sam Rockwell is one of the best actors I know; otherwise, five it would have held at for sure.

Anna Kendrick's character is just too childish, no matter how "kooky" Sam's character is, I still think a more mature woman would have filled out all of his needs, charm, and sensibilities in the movie. Every good actor needs their counterpart to challenge them, and, unfortunately, I think Anna Kendrick just isn't seasoned enough (yet) to be in league with the likes of Sam Rockwell. This movie could have been really awesome with a Keira Knightley if you wanted to go with a more sexy route or a Melissa McCarthy if you wanted to stay on the comical route... the same clean-cut as with Kendrick... oh what might have been! DUMB ENDINGS always deserve a knock-off, which is why it goes back to a five...… Expand

A hitman with the 'killing is wrong' attitude.

Something is not right for 'Mr, Right'. It is not an event based action-comedy or something like man meets woman romance-comedy, but very random presentation. Where it begins and where it ends, you can't clearly say it is a well writtenA hitman with the 'killing is wrong' attitude.

Something is not right for 'Mr, Right'. It is not an event based action-comedy or something like man meets woman romance-comedy, but very random presentation. Where it begins and where it ends, you can't clearly say it is a well written script. The actings were decent, but the scenes aren't overwhelmingly impressive as it should be. Directed by 'Neon Flesh' famed filmmaker, after that film his other projects weren't up to the standards including this one.

It is written by the one who was behind the 'American Ultra'. There's a strikingly similar between these two and you won't deny if you had seen them. Especially Anna Kendrick's character to what the Jesse Eisenberg was in that film. If we go deep, Sam Rockwell as well might fall into the same category to what Kristen Stewart was. At some point, one of the film characters mentions the same secret project. So I think it is the same universe and a spin-off.

Sam-Kendrick combo was the highlight of the film. I hope they would do some serious subject together in the near future. The action sequences were good, other than that it's not funny at all or romantic. That means I did not enjoy it because the theme did not work for me which I felt very common these days. So it failed because of the lack of innovation and proper development, but the overall film was not bad if entertainment is the main agenda. I know there are audience for it and they will back it. I won't stand between you and your watch if you want to try it, I just say be careful, that's all.

Hi. The first review here.
Damn god, this is an absolute crap. Plot sucks, actor's perfmormance is worse than in sitcoms.
Music sucks, dialogues are ridiculous, dont watch it.
