The Man from Toronto premieres on June 24 exclusively on Netflix.
Director Patrick Hughes continues to expand his hitman-centered body of work, following up on his The Hitman’s Bodyguard films with Netflix’s The Man from Toronto. Woody Harrelson is the deadly hitman and Kevin Hart is a small-town dope who accidentally creates a scenario that gets him confused as the assassin. Forced to share space, the two go from enemies to somewhat allies in a farcical adventure that offers some laughs and a couple creative action sequences. It never reaches the heights of other films in this genre, like Midnight Run or The Rundown, but it’s a fun summer watch.
As Teddy is a mess professionally and personally, he at least wants to make his wife Lori’s (Jasmine Mathews) birthday a success so he rents a cabin in Virginia to give her a special weekend. He drops her off for a spa day to set up the rental but realizes he can’t quite read the address on his print out because he didn’t change the printer toner, so he bumbles his way into the wrong cabin that is actually the setting for the Man from Toronto’s next interrogation. The mistaken identity sets the stage for a huge blunder that involves the FBI needing Teddy to act like he’s Toronto to help stop an international incident. Meanwhile, the real assassin is pissed that he lost a high-paying gig, through no fault of his own, and seeks to acquire Teddy so he can finish the job right and get the payday. What ensues is Teddy and Toronto having to help one another so Teddy can get home to his wife and Toronto can get his last big payday and get out of the business.
Comedically, the movie gives audiences who appreciate Hart everything they love about the comedian. There’s the self-deprecating height jokes, the nervous, rapid-fire rants, and 10 out of 10 reactions to his impending bodily harm. Hughes also gives Hart plenty of real estate to riff his way through several interrogation scenes that earn some big laughs, and even some dry heaves due to Teddy’s reaction to some actual violence. Those scenarios do get a little repetitive by the midpoint of the film, and could have used some surgical editing to tighten up the pace, which does drag.

The Man from Toronto follows the blueprint of other, better opposites in peril genre movies, but it’s still entertaining. Kevin Hart takes point on the comedy front, where his motormouth delivery works well for his fearful character. Harrelson plays the straight man, badass killer vibe with verve, with some witty flourishes that flesh out the man u...

Jun 24, 2022 · Watch ‘The Man from Toronto’ on Netflix only for the glitter of its stars. For those uninitiated with the Hart brand of comedy – self-deprecating, dumb, and personal – this film presents the perfect starter. The close-ended ending seems likely to stunt a sequel – and thankfully so.
