You know, I don't know if I've made it obvious in any of my reviews of movies that have Sam Rockwell in then, then you should probably know that I love this man. But if you're looking for a fun and uninvolved action comedy, give this one a shot. Right is near invulnerable, so it's tough to ever really care about what's going on. But I would have liked a villain and a story that built more gravitas and weight to the third act. That combination was perfect, which is why I can accept some of the other mishaps.
The screenplay was written by the always interesting Max Landis, who has a strange sense of humor, and all of that comes out in Rockwell's performance. I don't want to say Roth was phoning the role in, because he's world class, but there just wasn't enough there for me to dig my teeth into his character. I just didn't buy into his extreme hate towards Mr. On the other side, I wasn't really a fan of Tim Roth's antagonistic role. It's bloody and uncompromising, which is also something that is difficult to depict in a comedy, but Rockwell's happy-go-lucky attitude towards this violence put a satirical and goofy vibe to the gore, which I accepted. With that said, once I adapted to the ridiculousness of the story, I had some fun with the action and the performances of both Kendrick and Rockwell. It didn't help that Martha seemed to gain these abilities by Rockwell's character simply moving her hands a certain way for a few minutes. I get the tone they were going for, but I was legitimately turned off by the main character's unbelievable abilities. It took a while for me to become accepting of such a notion, even in a comedy. This film deals with a certain amount of supernatural concerning Rockwell's impressive ability to literally dodge bullets. It's really difficult to blend the genres of crime and comedy well, especially with an R rating and while it wasn't all great, this film had a lot going for it. Kendrick and Rockwell's bond gets increasingly better as scenes go on, as does the quality of the film. The two romantically connect based on pretty much nothing at all, but it works. Right tells the story of an unhinged and borderline psychopathic former hitman, who romances a recently dumped woman named Martha. But a charming turn (as always) from Sam Rockwell and some well-developed chemistry between him and Anna Kendrick make it a solid cable watch. There's nothing outright special about Mr.
