Been there. Done that.

Old Guy (2025) is an action comedy movie directed by Simon West and it is literally the same movie I've watched a million times.Positives for Old Guy (2025): Christoph Waltz, Lucy Liu and the young guy whose name can't remember give decent performances. The action sequences are decent. And finally, the movie does work as background noise for other things.Negatives for Old Guy (2025): The plot is literally the same old stuff I've seen like a million times before. The plot is very predictable with how everything plays out. You don't remember the names of any of the characters. Things are just happen in the movie for the hell of it. And finally, the movie has very messy pacing.Overall, Old Guy (2025) is about as generic as an action comedy movie can be.

Old Guy

Old Guy is a comedic reworking of The Mechanic, the 1970s thriller that starred Charles Bronson.Christoph Waltz is the ageing hitman Danny Dolinski. He still goes clubbing but has an arthritic hand. It means he cannot shoot straight.His shadowy bosses are modernising. Out go the old timers. In come the young whippersnappers.Danny has to train the Gen Z new blood, Wihlborg (Cooper Hoffman) who is still wet behind the ears and needs to learn the craft of being a hitman.They are tasked to kill an Irish mobster, but the job goes south. Now they are the target.This is a generic comedy thriller that has been done to death in the last few years. The screenplay is anaemic. It wastes the talented cast which includes Lucy Liu who really does not have much to do.The only interesting thing about this movie is the sheer number of people with producer credits.

Plain nice and simple

Yes, the movie follows a familiar formula, one of those films where you find yourself thinking, I've seen so many like this. I agree that it doesn't break new ground or brining something new and similar other movies exist, but there's a catch.Despite its simplicity, the movie is enjoyable. At the end of the day, it serves its purpose well, that is entertainment.What makes it stand out? The exceptional acting skills of Christoph Waltz. His performance adds an extra flavour to the old recipe, making it better the film above many others currently being released.A good popcorn watch, so just do.
