> Old Guy follows aging contract killer Danny Dolinski (Waltz), who still believes he’s the best at what he does. Stuck at a dead end but vying for the love of club manager Anata (Liu), Danny is thrilled when The Company pulls him back into the field, but only to train Gen Z newcomer Wihlborg (Hoffman), a prodigy assassin with an attitude. The mismatched pair is asked to eliminate top members of a competing crime syndicate and, in the process, uncover their employer’s true motive: removing the old guard in a full takeover. However, The Company didn’t anticipate that Danny’s experience coupled with the kid’s brilliance would create such an unlikely bond between the two, enabling them, with crucial help from Anata, to turn it all back on The Company.
Maybe Waltz can make up for the worn out plot.
Such an original plot.. ex hitman called back into action.. training a future assassin.. going after the head assassin boss..
Love Waltz tho.. will definitely check it out
This sounds like absolute shit.
I saw Run All Night already. And No Body. And Mads Mikkellson with a bad 401k.
Is Waltz already at that stage of his career?
Love how people are writing this off without seeing any of the film. Typical redditors
Not to be horny on main, but Christoph Waltz looks gorgeous in this
Why is everyone suddenly shitting on this film as if this is the first time they’re seeing a rehashed plot lol. It’s been happening forever, Christoph Waltz looks great, and I love Lucy Liu. Excited to see how it goes
Terrible title.
Excited to see Waltz in pretty much anything though
“I’m getting too old for this shit.”
I want that jacket.
I was sold at “Christoph Waltz”
Movies and tv would have me believe that ‘contract killer’ is like 1/4 of all occupations out there
Philip Seymour will be proud of his son.
And the ‘forbidden fruit’ romance that follows…
Waltz is my fav. I will be seeing this movie.
i see the casting department was looking for a “Marc Maron” type
Has Simon West made anything good since Con Air? I guess the Mechanic wasn’t bad, but how is this guy still getting these good actors to play in what will likely be terrible.
Not that it looks like an interesting movie anyway, but half the people complaining here would cream their pants at the next generic copy-paste superhero that Marvel release anyway so I don’t see how it’s such an issue.
Waltz literally looks like that old uncle stuck in the 1979 when he was 19 that every family has
I read the title as “Old Gay” at first and was very interested in the premise. Too bad it’s just a regular old guy.
That’s Philip Seymour Hoffman’s son, I think. He looks like a young version of PSH.
So like remake #4 of ‘The Mechanic’ from the Charles Bronson era?
Let me guess: The first job of the new guy once he is trained will be to permanently retire the old guy.
A plot that makes no sense and has been done too many times before.
Cooper is a pretty good actor. I really liked him in Licorice Pizza.
Lucy Liu! I love see her pop up more again
It’s a good sign they didn’t cast the usual idiots as the young guy.
He looks like Rose’s boyfriend from Golden Girls 😂 I saw him and went “Miles?!?!”
Usually he fits very well in “bad guy” roles. Let’s see how this suits him.
Isn’t that just ‘The Mechanic’?
Two really interesting actors, but the plot couldn’t be less interesting.
Cooper was honestly fantastic in Licorice Pizza.
Interesting to see these two in a genre film.
Why the fuck is every second film about assassins???
It’s not really a common job!
My whole life I had no problem with suspending disbelief, big fantasy and sci-fi fan. In fact, most of the time plot-twists and even plot-holes don’t bother me that much.
But I’ve developed this massive pet peeve with shows and movies that are starring an absurdly old action lead recently. I just don’t understand why people are not calling them out. They’re getting ridiculous.
There is this show that feature a 70 years old man full on wrestling and brawling with multiple top shaped 30-something bodybuilders.
I love Keanu Reeves but even in that JW4 movie it was getting too much. I feel crazy that people don’t care about this phenomena.
this is the most austrian christoph waltz has ever looked
Cooper Hoffman?? As in little baby Philip Seymour Hoffman?
He looks so much like his dad. Hope he does well 🖖
This is just basically The Mechanic—which Simon West directed the remake in 2011:
Looking forward to what Cooper Hoffman brings to the table after his fantastic debut in Licorice Pizza
So, like Se7en, but with laughs?
Literally the same character he played in Django lol. Okay tho I’ll still probably enjoy it
