Veteran assassin Danny Dolinski (Christoph Waltz), with his distinctive 70s handlebar mustache and vintage leather bomber jacket, is a highly skilled, well-compensated hitman for a British crime syndicate. His rugged appearance serves as protection in the real world, but also marks him as an antique. However, after undergoing hand surgery that leaves him incapacitated for six weeks, his boss Opal (Ann Akinjirin) questions the longevity of Danny’s career. He learns that instead of being retired, he will be partnered with Wihlborg (Cooper Hoffman), a 20-something prodigy rumored to have killed more innocents than intended targets. Upon meeting his young associate, Danny immediately expresses disdain due to Wihlborg’s eccentricities such as painted fingernails, excessive use of pink clothing and vastly different approaches towards assassinations.
