An over-the-hill hitman must reckon with the changing landscape of a life-ong career when he’s assigned to supervise a prodigy in lifeless 'Old Guy.'

Please go back to making movies again soon, and write another great part for Christoph Waltz, stat! The urgency is prompted by Old Guy, the mediocre new action-comedy (a genre that really, really needs good execution to work) in which the two-time Oscar winner plays Danny Dolinski,

A boilerplate script and ho-hum characters make Old Guy, a hitman tale that also stars Cooper Hoffman, less than killer.

Raise your hand if you’re sick of assassin stories. I know I am, so the excitement for Old Guy hovered in the low digits. That said, it has Christoph Waltz in it, so even the worst Christoph Waltz movie is better than most Oscar winners.
