In "Old Guy," Christoph Waltz plays hitman Danny Dolinski, who faces a personal and professional crisis while being forced to train a younger successor. The film explores themes of generational clash and resilience through Dolinski's character, but the comedic elements fail to resonate, resulting in awkward interactions between him and his Gen Z replacement, played by Cooper Hoffman. Despite stylish direction, the screenplay falters, leaving the film lacking depth and effectiveness in delivering its intended humor and moral themes about hitman ethics.
"While he might still be a viable specimen for the 20-something party girls of London, his game does not hold the same appeal in the workplace."
"Is a familiar conceit like the wise veteran and the cocksure newcomer tired or a classic? Well, it's all in the execution."
