Resumen
Reviewers say 'Old Guy' is a mixed bag with a predominantly negative reception. Criticisms include tired tropes, lack of originality, and messy pacing. Christoph Waltz's performance is often highlighted, though some find it muted. Lucy Liu's role is criticized for being underutilized. Positive reviews note entertainment value and lead actors' chemistry. Most find the movie a disappointing, generic action-comedy that fails to capitalize on its talented cast.

Talk about a movie that should be watched on your phone because everyone in it phoned it in. Christopher Waltz is horribly miscast as an aging hitman with an injury, he is about as convincing as Danny Devito's chances of being drafted to the NBA.
Everything in this movie is cheap and forgettable, be it the pathetic car chase or the abysmal digital fire. Literally finished watching this 5 mins ago and I'm struggling to remember any scene of performance worth mentioning.
The only positive is that it's runtime, it feels short and an easy film to have playing in the background when you are doing something else.
If your goal was to watch a film with great action, intrigue and classic hitman/spy vibes then avoid like the plague. This is a mess, wanting to be funny but isn't, wanting to be clever, but isn't, wanting to be entertaining and again isn't. It feels like a movie made for tax write-offs and has roped in a cast that legit are bound by some irreversible contract or ungodly bet.

In light British mob dramatic-thriller "Old Guy" the London firm of implausibly young-at-heart titular hit-man Christoph Waltz prepares him for retirement by having him oversee / train young new-age upcoming killer Cooper Hoffman (good) on a 'suicide mission' to Belfast - on which Waltz takes along old friend Lucy Liu (also good). Experienced director Simon West aims for an "In Bruges" feel but Greg Johnson's second screenplay (after the decent "The Last Son") gives it no chance of hitting such heights. Not funny enough to be a comedy, but too silly to be a tense thriller, it falls between the two genres rather than rising as a crossover. Passably entertaining - no more.
Old Guy (2025) is an action comedy movie directed by Simon West and it is literally the same movie I've watched a million times.
Positives for Old Guy (2025): Christoph Waltz, Lucy Liu and the young guy whose name can't remember give decent performances. The action sequences are decent. And finally, the movie does work as background noise for other things.
Negatives for Old Guy (2025): The plot is literally the same old stuff I've seen like a million times before. The plot is very predictable with how everything plays out. You don't remember the names of any of the characters. Things are just happen in the movie for the hell of it. And finally, the movie has very messy pacing.
Overall, Old Guy (2025) is about as generic as an action comedy movie can be.

Old Man definitely hints of The Mechanic & others of a similar genre. Although I do think it was different enough to be very entertaining. Walz is an amazing actor, so for me I enjoyed his performance. I loved the premise, the dry humour, & the juxtaposition of generations. If the script had someone give it a final read through to tweak it, this movie could have delivered much more. The dialogue was at times stilted & awkward & they missed many chances to take advantage of the humourous situations throughout the film. So many pieces of a great movie are here but it doesn't quite live up to it. Still, overall a good movie and solid acting.
Danny Dolinski (Christoph Waltz) is a veteran hitman working for the London mob. He is recovering from hand surgery on his gun hand and expects to return to be the prime assassin. Instead, the organization is going younger and he is to mentor young hitman Wihlborg (Cooper Hoffman). Anata (Lucy Liu) is his longtime friend and nightclub manager.
This is trying to be a comedic crime thriller. I get the concept and it has the potential to work with better writing. Waltz is trying to do some comedy. I don't think that the younger Hoffman is up to the task. Lucy Liu doesn't have much to do. This is rather blah.
