And when that doesn’t go according to plan, they settle for something really stupid and kidnap Martha. Meanwhile, the prospect of losing her is enough of a wake-up call for Francis to swear off killing ever again, though the timing is bad, as every two-bit would-be assassin in New Orleans has been mobilized to take him out - including a pair of wily gangsters (James Ransone and Michael Eklund) with an elaborate plot to use Francis’ reverse-execution strategy to their advantage, convincing those they want eliminated (like big brother Anson Mount) to hire the unhinged fixer. Needing some space to process the fact that her ideal guy comes with such a major drawback, Martha hides out with her best friend (Katie Nehra, showing Cameron Diaz comic potential in a small but significant role). “How I feel about that guy has nothing to do with how I feel about you.” “Are you upset because I killed that guy?” he says in his cutesy-wootsiest voice. It’s actually kind of adorable to see the naive expression of Francis’ face when she recoils in horror after witnessing his first execution.

For what might be the first time in his life, Francis decides to be honest, confiding in Martha from the outset that he’s a professional killer. Somehow, despite all that stylistic frosting, the two actors’ comic flavor still comes through loud and clear. It’s a wonder the props department didn’t give one an accordion and the other a croquet mallet just to cherry-top the scene. Not to be outdone by her setting, costume designer Jillian Ann Kreiner dresses them like contestants in a wackiest wardrobe challenge: He’s wearing a Hawaiian shirt, while she matches an owl-print dress with a top featuring an astronaut riding a unicorn through a rainbow hoop. He takes her to New Orleans’ most eccentric location, City Park’s Storyland corner, where they trade precious repartee while ambling among fiberglass sculptures, including the Three Little Pigs and a fire-breathing dragon.
After all, she has a proven history of dating creeps, and he’s nothing if not creepy when they first meet - bumping into one another at the end of the condom aisle in a convenience store.įrancis lays on what some would call charm, in an almost classically screwball sense, and Martha relents, agreeing to go on a date. Both his choreography and Cabezas’ direction lend those sequences a jaunty sort of energy, which the film works overtime to extend to the budding romance between Martha and Francis with slightly more awkward results.
