I'd give it a 5 or 6 out of 10. I enjoyed it, but it's a very slight movie, and I didn't really love the direction it went in the second half.

I enjoyed it, mainly for Anna Kendrick. Probably a 3.5/5.

I'm with Rich in that I didn't really enjoy the third act as much as the rest.
I think 6/10 is fair. Fun for what it is, but nothing that hasn't been done before. Rockwell was serviceable for the role, but I enjoyed Kendrick and her character more.

I just watched this last night (my daughter's pick), and I loved it!
It's not a great movie, but it's a lot of fun. It's absurdly entertaining.
Is it a romantic comedy about an ex-CIA hitman filled with action and violence? Or is it a violent action movie with a romantic comedy aspect to it? And then there's the near super power that is involved, too. That's a fun angle as well.
I looked it up, and the movie only played in 35 theaters in the U.S., so it's box office was almost non-existent. That's a shame, because I would have loved a sequel.
The movie is greater than the sum of it's parts. It's stylish, funny, exciting - I just loved it. It fits in well with Grosse Pointe Blank, another movie that I love about a hitman.
