    Its funny with the most awkward way .Loved it

    I read some reviews saying this is "shallow"?! not funny and a bunch of other absurd stuff like that. I mean seriously what depth exactly did you expect from such film?.. Enough with the sofa "experts" saying whatever they read somewhere else and actually review this..

    This film is entertaining with a really unique way, (i wont deny that the humor is really not for everyone) They create all sort of weird situations that make you laugh with the fact that they even happening like that.

    It also includes some fighting scenes that are actually really good with nice choreography. The plot has no holes in it, and i mean none,everything is covered just fine.

    grab some popcorn relax and you will have fun while it lasts. i would recommend it.

    I laughed out loud way too many times

    I saw the trailer a couple weeks ago and knew I wanted to watch just to see Anna Kendrick. I just now finished the movie and I'm impressed with the whole cast. The movie is not very original (i.e any killer couple movie), but the humor is absolutely spot on. It's very sarcastic and just over the top dumb, and I absolutely loved it. Sam and Anna have fantastic chemistry and really work off each other. I found myself pausing just so I could laugh about how ridiculous some things were. And all in a good way. It's a little violent if you aren't into that, but all in a very light tone. If you're in the mood for a silly comedy that isn't super raunchy or sexual, this is the perfect one. I loved it. I honestly would love to see a sequel, or hopefully Sam and Anna work together again in the future.

    Very decent!

    Max Landis by all reports sucks as a person, but his writing is at least unique. This isnt as good as American Ultra, but enjoyably similar in tone.

    Some hits and misses but a very serviceable action rom com that you don't see done often nowadays, and you see it done well even less.

    I don't love Sam Rockwell in general but I have a big soft spot for Anna Kendrick, both do great in their roles here, playing both to and against type at intervals in the story.

    Entertaining supporting cast with familiar faces like Tim Roth, James Ransone from Sinister (Deputy So and So), and famous-creepy-guy-who coincidentally-reminds-me-of-Sam-Rockwell Michael Eklund. Also RZA makes an appearance, I love seeing him in movies so I got a kick of out that as well.

    Its the kind of movie both you AND your girlfriend will probably like, but neither will probably love.

    An unique spark and charm!

    First of all, the soundtrack was good. Especially Norman Greenbaum's Spirit In The Sky suited the first gun fight scene excellently, and if by then you had no idea what kind of action movie Mr. Right is, that scene tells it to you straight.

    Anna Kendrick is amazing as Martha, a girl so quirky you don't know if she's just weird or if there's actually something even more weird going on his head. Also the way Martha shook off "Mr. Right"'s comments on killing people made me wonder several times if she thinks he is joking, or if she just doesn't care too much, because he is so perfect for her. Sam Rockwell is an interesting choice for "Mr. Right". When Martha first meets him, he comes off pretty creepy, and while Rockwell is still very charming, he still seems dangerous. Even the viewer is suspicious of whether or not to trust him, mostly because we have already seen what he does, but he just seems so nice, but it's masking how creepy he is, but that is kind of destroying how sweet and charming he is, and so on. Right then and there it's a vicious cycle, but of course when we learn more, we trust more.

    The romantic side of the film is interesting. The romance between "Mr. Right" and Martha is cute, but you feel like it shouldn't be. He seems older and kind of creepy, Martha just broke up with someone and also doesn't realise how her new, uh, boyfriend is actually a killer. But their chemistry just is astonishing. Of course there are a lot of problems in their relationship if you start analysing it, but they just seem like the perfect, cute, quirky couple.

    The action side of the film is very excellent. The scenes are fun to follow, and "Mr. Right"'s skills make them even more interesting.

    The character "Mr: Right" is probably meant to seem quite mysterious in the beginning, because nothing is said about him or the origin of his skills immediately. But for some reason that mystery doesn't seem that interesting than other plot-lines in the story. I was more interested to see the action scenes, Hopper's hunt for "Mr. Right", the development of the romance and I wanted to see Martha become a proper action girl. When the information about who "Mr. Right" actually is, it's just like "Okay sure". It doesn't seem like an important detail.

    If I'd have to compare Mr. Right with another movie, it would probably be Seven Psychopaths. The reasons for that are Sam Rockwell in both movies, the humour, and just something about the plot, probably how there are several different plans and goals we are following all of them.

    Mr. Right is a fun action movie. The plot seems original enough, and the film is interesting to follow. It has a certain spark and a charm. What more do you need?

    The rom-com version of American Ultra

    Max Landis' writing is unique and has both hits and misses. This movie succeeds in part with the impressive tonal shifts in the story as well as some original characters.

    The movie plays like a Diablo Cody-thing gone off the rails, which is a good thing, if you're prepared for that kind of stuff.

    The action was unexpectedly well executed, but hard to really be engaged with because of the chaotic approach to genre.

    If you're into something light and fun and tired of the tropes being played over and over again, then this is the next film, you should watch.
