Our take
Mr. Right mixes flirtation with hitman action, so dates keep getting interrupted by gunfire and corpses. Strong language, mostly the f-word, runs through almost every fight and awkward conversation. There is sexual banter and some romance heat, plus brief drug talk around the criminal world. The comic tone does little to soften the frequent killings and strong language.
Uplifting themes
Trying to change for love and owning your worst habits sit under the gunfire. The film still makes crime look charming more often than costly Martha is funny and brave, yet she keeps diving deeper into danger. The hitman hero is affectionate and morally scrambled at once
Story (may spoil tone)
A girl falls for the "perfect" guy, who happens to have a very fatal flaw: he's a hitman on the run from the crime cartels who employ him.

Hitmen shoot, stab, and chase each other through houses, streets, and comic set pieces from early on. Killings are frequent and flashy, even when the camera winks at the absurdity

The f-word is everywhere in fights, flirtation, and criminal yelling, with the s-word, b-word, and other insults close behind. Strong swearing is a texture of the whole romance-action mix

Casual-sex talk, sleeping-together confusion, and lingerie jokes keep the romance adult. Chemistry is playful rather than explicit, but teens will hear plenty of sex chat

Drunk-closet jokes and a heroin mention sit in the criminal world around the couple. Substance use is side colour, not a full addiction arc
Self-harm / suicide Someone floats a dark joke about an elaborate suicide pact during the c…
Someone floats a dark joke about an elaborate suicide pact during the chaos. It is a throwaway line, not a self-harm scene
Bullying / discrimination Racist and homophobic labels get tossed around in heated arguments betw…
Racist and homophobic labels get tossed around in heated arguments between criminals. The jabs are brief and ugly rather than the whole story

Guns dominate, and dead bodies turn up in homes mid-date. Blood and corpses are clear enough that the comedy never fully erases the injury

Assassin gadgets and sudden shootouts are played as cool quirks of dating a killer. Younger viewers might treat the weapon play as stylish rather than deadly

Talk after watching
- Martha falls for someone whose job is violence. What warning signs would make you walk away from a charming but dangerous partner?
- The film treats killing like a quirky personality flaw. Does comedy make that easier to shrug off than it should?
