This will be an easy one because it came out in the past year. I just didn’t get to see it because I was traveling and missed it. Now I can’t remember the name to monitor Red Box and Netflix.

Anyways, the only thing I remember from the trailer is that the main character, an older black actor, is at a block party or cookout or something and one of his neighbors asks what he does for a living and his response is “I’m a government paid assassin.” The neighbor looks at him for a moment before deciding he’s joking and kind of laughs it off.

Thanks!

Maybe. I watched that one but don’t remember the scene.

Of course, it may have only been in the trailer and cut from the movie. I’ll have to watch it again.
