Mr. Right is a 2015 American romantic action comedy film directed by Paco Cabezas, written by Max Landis, and starring an ensemble cast featuring Sam Rockwell, Anna Kendrick, Tim Roth, James Ransone, Anson Mount, Michael Eklund, and RZA.
The film, which follows a young woman (Kendrick) who discovers that her new boyfriend (Rockwell) is a professional hitman, was released in the United States on April 8, 2016, by Focus World, to mixed reviews from critics.
Martha is an eccentric woman who leaves her boyfriend after she discovers that he is cheating on her. Elsewhere, Francis is seen knocking on a hotel door. A woman answers and Francis explains that he is the hit-man that she hired to kill her law partner so that she would own the firm outright; he then puts on a red clown nose, tells her that murder is wrong, and shoots her dead. At the same time, a team of assassins are preparing to trap Francis in the hotel. Hopper, a hit man who once worked with Francis, chooses to remain behind in the surveillance van, as he knows that Francis will overpower the unprofessional assassins. Hopper listens as the assassins are killed, while the audience watches Francis demonstrate his skills. After the incident, Hopper receives a phone call from his bosses, who instruct him to pretend to be an FBI agent and to partner with a local New Orleans police detective, Gus Patrick, who has been assigned to capture Francis.
The following day, Martha spends the morning at a pet store where her roommate works. On the way home from the store, Martha stops at a convenience market. Francis, also in the market, is attracted to her quirkiness. He asks her out on a date and the pair spend the next ten hours together. Francis is honest with Martha about his line of work, but she assumes that he is being sarcastic. As the pair stroll through the park, Francis senses that a hit-man is near, and he dances with Martha while evading a bullet streaming past them. They end up spending the night together.
