Old Guy

Old Guy follows Danny Dolinski, a longtime contract killer whose painful hand problem and age threaten his career. The Company sends him to train Wihlborg, a gifted Gen Z killer who may be part of a plan to remove the older workers. Danny and Wihlborg travel from London to Belfast for a series of jobs and discover that their bosses want them gone. Danny also hopes to win Anata, his old friend and a club manager, while the film mixes bloody action with dry jokes and a rough buddy comedy mood.

The film makes the age divide its clearest social idea. The Company wants younger workers, while Danny argues that experience still matters, and Wihlborg brings a cleaner, more careful style to the job. The story contrasts Danny’s drinking, pills, smoking, and casual sex with Wihlborg’s refusal to use them. It ends by valuing teamwork between generations instead of declaring that youth or age should rule alone. Anata is a capable Asian woman in the main group, but the story uses her mostly as Danny’s friend and love interest.
