There are a few action sequences in the film that are well shot and neatly edited. Now I did criticise Kendrick earlier but as the film progresses she does find her feet and things start to feel more natural especially in the moments where she’s opposite Rockwell.ĭirection is something I hardly ever comment on in a comedy but I will say Paco Cabezas does well here. Him and Kendrick also had good chemistry. I was also impressed with the martial arts skills that he showcased in this film. He’s such a versatile actor but pair him up with an out there, little bit cooky character and he truly shines. I still say he’s one of the most underrated talents in Hollywood. Now someone who does do good work in this film is Sam Rockwell.
Martha is meant to be this weird, off-centre, interesting woman and Kendrick delivers this meek, scatterbrained mouse who pretends to be the things previously listed. A lot of the time it feels as if she’s forcing characteristics on to the character that she doesn’t truly believe in.

I wouldn’t call what she does in this movie acting but rather “forcing”. Anna Kendrick’s performance in this film is completely off. It’s not only Landis’ script that does this but also the performance of one of the film’s leads. This takes away from the comedy because real world sobriety juxtaposed with the insanity of the events of this film would have made for great pieces of humour. No one in the film reacts the way that a normal person would react to the film’s events. This is a problem that I had with this film. The characters aren’t eccentric and wacky because of their natural idiosyncrasies but rather merely because the script said so. Now of course this is a movie, realism is allowed to take a back seat but Landis’ screenplays never seem balanced. Landis does try to be innovative and tell stories through a fresh lens but his films ( Victor Frankenstein and American Ultra) are often wacky and lack realism. This all made sense to me when I looked through the credits and saw that Max Landis was this film’s screenwriter.

This movie reminded me a lot of Baby Driver in that, it’s so obsessed with trying to be quirky and innovative that it often just comes across as cheesy and forced. Before she can decide how she feels about this the pair find themselves embroiled in a mob sibling rivalry and fighting for their lives.

Martha soon discovers that these aren’t jokes as her perfect guy is actually a professional hitman. The two have instant chemistry despite the fact that Martha seems to know nothing about him except how she feels and that he has penchant for making casual jokes about killing people. Things seem to be turning around when Martha meets a mysterious stranger (Sam Rockwell). Okay, basic plot: After going through a tough breakup with her cheating ex, Martha (Anna Kendrick) is left in a bit of a tailspin. I did actually like this film but I don’t think the delay was earth-shattering.
It’s strange to think that it came out over a year ago and I’m only getting around to watching it now. This is a film that I was really looking forward to seeing but just didn’t get around to.
