Hopper is out to get Francis, while two gangster brothers, Vaughn ( James Ransone) and Richard ( Anson Mount), are also out for Francis’ blood when he turns out to be more dangerous than they expected. He just adopts a terrible Southern accent, but, okay. The man responsible for training him is Hopper (Roth), who changes his identity to FBI agent Leonard Knox through some super-awesome computing device that speaks to him. But he’s a sweetheart, really: he’s got this thing where he turns on the people who hire him and kills them instead, because he’s a killing machine with morals. He’s a contract killer programmed to be something of a supersonic killing machine that channels the energy around him to do cool things like dodge bullets and catch knives.

Her friends do their best to console her (though only one of them seems to realize her actions are borderline crazy), but it’s not until she bumps into Francis (Rockwell) in a convenience store that she really starts to get her shit together.

The basics of the plot might sound just a tad familiar.

It’s such a cool story bro, you can practically see the Doritos stains. The rest of the cast is, unfortunately, disposable thanks to a screenplay that sounds like it was written one late night in a hotboxed frat room. Among the array of supporting players, Tim Roth does an okay job as the half-dimensional “seriously mean guy” (yes, a direct quote from the film) and Wu-Tang clan honcho the RZAmakes a late appearance as hired gun Steven, nailing the film’s funniest moment. Its one saving grace comes in the form of an efficient cast, headlined by Anna Kendrick and the always-fun-to-watch Sam Rockwell.
