Which Ulysses is been trained to be an astronaut. #MAKING MR RIGHT 2016 ANDROID#An dorky, curious, android named Ulysses (John Malkovich). She been hired by a huge technology company to "humanaize" their latest work. Wanna go out sometime?” But then again, I’ve never been known for having what most would call “Game”, so you might not wanna try this out at a bar.An bright, smart, beautiful woman named Frankie Stone (Ann Magnuson) is public relations executive. Which again, you totally buy into because not only is it presented in such a matter of fact way, but you could almost think of it as a smooth pick up line. In fact Rockwell straight up says he kills people right off the bat and she thinks he’s just being affable. Early on they show that she has something of a penitent towards the more dangerous things in life. But that’s not to say that she comes off as dumb. The chemistry between these two is fairly strong and when you combine that with the gradual way in which they establish Kendrick’s character, you totally buy the idea that she could fall head over heels for a guy like this. Oftentimes when people try to fit into this type of role, they come off as seeming desperate to pull laughs out of the audience in a very unnatural way. It’s just rare to find someone who can nail it. That’s not to say that there aren’t TONS of people who attempt it. This is a rare thing to find in an actor. She’s got this great quality in her performance that deftly walks the tightrope of goofy self deprecation, without overdoing it. I really wanna go back and check out all of her past films. #MAKING MR RIGHT 2016 MOVIE#But after seeing this movie I can add Anna Kendrick to my distinguished list of talented and funny actors. I’ve been a fan of Sam Rockwell for about as long as I can remember. Because in REAL LIFE fights usually end up being a wrestling match between two drunks while randomly throwing punches at each other. I really appreciate when a film takes the time to make their fights as realistic as possible, while still maintaining a theatrical quality about them. In a film with less skilled combat scenes everyone usually ends up looking like they’re waiting their turn to be hit and then react dramatically. But it still has enough intensity to convey a sense of danger. It’s somewhat reminiscent of early Jackie Chan movies in that there’s a lot of comedy involved in the choreography that gives the impression of it being a dance with fists. One thing I really dug about movie was how they presented the fight scenes. But we later come to discover that there was an event in his past that somewhat explains why he seems a bit sedated. Initially it seemed like Rockwell wasn’t his normal charismatic self, that he seemed almost bored in some scenes. It’s as if writer Max Landis started with a neat idea, and then started tossing in superfluous additions to fill it out. I feel like this whole movie was more or less built AROUND this one concept. The gimmick being the unconventional approach that Rockwell’s character takes to contract killing. Without this particular cast, which also includes Tim Roth, it would play out as a rather formulaic action/comedy with a catchy gimmick. Right worth watching, pretty much comes down to the actors themselves. ![]()
