Ideally, you want your action comedies to contain compelling action sequences and funny comedy. At the very least, it’s fair to expect one of the two. Despite a semi-compelling relationship at its core, “Old Guy” isn’t nearly as funny as it thinks it is, and its set pieces are quite flat by action standards.

Old Guy is a rather careless take on the fusion of comedy and action genres, the kind of film that will throw around an acronym like “PSNI” in the middle of conversation and just assume an American sitting at home on their couch will deduce this stands for “Police Service of Northern Ireland.”

This is a warmed-over remix of crime comedy and thriller tropes, as awkwardly paced as it is murkily shot.

The film's dialogue is insincere and cookie-cutter, failing to deliver naturalistic character growth. And surmounting its inefficacy at simulating humanity is perhaps Old Guy's most glaring action movie sin: it's truly boring.

Beyond the stale plot and groaners that make up the dialogue, “Old Guy” suffers from haphazard pacing, as if every third scene was cut out in postproduction. Watching, one wonders who this movie is for — even within the target demographic stated in the title.

What should be a plucky, whip-smart character-driven actioner about an elderly assassin fighting career obsolescence morphs into a dusty, no-stakes patchwork of clichés that shrugs off any resonance, let alone entertainment value.

Há muitos filmes sobre duplas policiais, e esse deve ser o pior que já vi. Ritmo descompensado, nada funciona, história capenga, falas ruins. Uma estrela para o esforço do veterano Christoph Waltz em conferir certa dignidade. E que forçada é essa com a Lucy Liu? Olha, o filme é tão ruinzinho, que nem precisará de esforço para esquecer.
