The third film was watched immediately after Hit Man to get the taste of it out of my mouth, and it was a re-watch of Mr Right. Now if we're talking about charisma and rapport, THIS film. Sam Rockwell as a clown-nose wearing, dancing assassin. Should it work? No. Does it? Hell yeah.

A ★★★★ review of Mr. Right (2015)

I always set my annual reading goal at 52 books (one per week), so I'll be doing that again for 2025!
In 2024, I managed 102 books so, although my official goal is 52, I think my stretch goal should be 103. 🤔
