In 'Old Guy', Christoph Waltz plays Danny Dolinski, a hitman confronted with retirement and the need to train his successor, Cooper Hoffman. Directed by Simon West, known for 'Con Air', this action-comedy explores generational dynamics in a humorous light. The film also features Lucy Liu as Dolinski's confidant, highlighting both humor and emotional depth. In their discussions, West emphasizes the importance of engaging scripts, while Liu appreciates the film's blend of humor and heart, reminiscent of classic action comedies.
West: Well, you always want to get a script that you just can't stop reading, and it's a page-turner. A very good test is: Do you fall asleep when you're reading it or do you want to turn the next page?
Liu: I love that it reminded me of a movie that was before the era of a lot of the action comedies, is that it had heart. It has a lot of humor, but it also has a lot of humanity.
