Plot: An aging hitman trains a young prodigy when his employer moves to replace the old guard. But after a betrayal, the unlikely duo seeks revenge against their double-crossing bosses.

Review: Passing of the torch-style films have been a part of cinema since the invention of celluloid. The idea of some older, on his way out, character training his replacement is a trope for a reason. It can be fun to watch the generational differences that come into play, especially when it involves the world of contract killing. Add in a veteran actor in Christoph Waltz, a relative newcomer on his way up in Cooper Hoffman, and an action director in Simon West and you’ve got Old Guy.

Old Guy follows Danny Dolinski, an aging hitman who is having issues with his shooting hand. Danny is fun-loving and likes to have a good time, in spite of his circumstance.
