Our take
Old Guy puts an ageing hitman beside a younger partner and lets them bicker through shootouts, beatings and a steady body count. The jokes do not hide how often people are hurt, and the f-word keeps coming. There is drinking, smoking and some crude sex talk too. We would keep this for MA 15+ and up.
Uplifting themes
An unlikely partnership teaches the two men to trust each other and take responsibility, though the lessons sit inside a story about killing for pay
Story (may spoil tone)
Stuck at a dead end but vying for the love of spunky club manager Anata, aging contract killer Danny Dolinski is thrilled when The Company pulls him back in the field, but only to train Gen Z newcomer Wihlborg, a prodigy assassin with an attitude.

Shootouts, car chases, and hand-to-hand fights drive most of the story, and bystanders get caught in the crossfire. Killing is treated as a job and played for dry laughs. A tense argument over whether to harm a child stands out

The f-word comes up again and again in arguments and banter, along with the s-word, a-word, and insults between the partners. Milder swears like hell fill the gaps

A crude joke about sex work and some bedroom innuendo come up in conversation, and a flirty romantic thread runs alongside the action. The sexual content stays at the level of talk

Characters drink whiskey and vodka, smoke cigars and cigarettes, and joke about cannabis after a hand surgery. It is background colour more than a plot point

Ambushes, close calls, and gunfire in tight spaces keep the tension up in the action scenes. The comic tone softens most of it

Gunshot wounds and bodies are shown, with some blood but little lingering detail. Guns are on screen through much of the action

Talk after watching
- Danny and Wihlborg treat killing like a day job. What do you think the film wants us to feel about that?
- The older and younger hitmen clash over how to work. What could each generation learn from the other, and what should it leave behind?
