About Mr. Right

At first sight, Martha McKay believes she has found her perfect match, a man whose charm seems effortless and whose confidence feels reassuring. But the man she falls for is not merely smooth dating material he is a professional hitman on the run from ruthless crime cartels. The longer their relationship lasts the more Martha learns that ordinary life with him means danger around every corner and a pulse racing through every encounter. The story keeps a brisk pace as romance and action collide blending humor with high stakes. What begins as a playful romance gradually reveals a brutal truth behind the flawless exterior. The film leans into witty dialogue and crisp chase sequences, giving the romance a spark while never fully softening the danger.

Released in 2016, Mr Right was directed by Paco Cabezas with an original screenplay by Max Landis. The film pairs Sam Rockwell as a lethal magnetic killer and Anna Kendrick as the woman who slowly falls under his spell too.

The film earned about 34,694 dollars worldwide on an 8 million dollar budget, reflecting a limited release and modest commercial performance that kept it largely out of wide theater markets. Its limited release underscores a niche audience today.

Culture wise the movie has a limited footprint. It attracted a small audience and a handful of streaming viewers but it did not spawn memorable lines or widespread memes. For fans of genre blending it offers a niche option rather than a breakout hit for genre fans today.

Critics offered mixed takes noting the odd mix of romance and violence each relying on Rockwell's electric presence. The film probes trust and attachment under pressure with a wink that undercuts danger while asking how far love can bend moral lines. Some reviews praised the film's bold tonal shifts.

What Viewers Are Saying

6.5/10
from 1,424 ratings

People call Mr. Right a messy, offbeat mash up of romance and hitman chaos with Francis the killer and Martha at the center. Sam Rockwell goes all out, turning the premise into wild energy that keeps things moving even when the plot gets goofy. Anna Kendrick keeps pace, but many viewers notice tonal swings and a script that never quite nails its setup.
