The plot: Professional killer Gary Johnson breaks protocol to help a desperate woman trying to flee an abusive husband and finds himself falling for her.
This movie was quite good.
Pros: The movie wasn’t that bad from the gecko. I enjoy how it plays around from a hitman as a persona. Glen Powell & Adria Arjona had nice chemistry together as Gary & Maddy prospectively. The romance was genuine front and centre & how its character dripping.
Cons: This movie is lacking without action. But the rest of the characters were forgettable and Not a lot of laughter from me.
