Oscar-nominated director Richard Linklater's sunlit neo-noir stars Glen Powell as strait-laced professor Gary Johnson, who moonlights as a fake hit man for the New Orleans Police Department. Preternaturally gifted at inhabiting different guises and personalities to catch hapless people hoping to bump off their enemies, Gary descends into morally dubious territory when he finds himself attracted to one of those potential criminals, a beautiful young woman named Madison (Adria Arjona). As Madison falls for one of Gary's hit man personas -- the mysteriously sexy Ron -- their steamy affair sets off a chain reaction of play acting, deception, and escalating stakes.

Critics Consensus

A deceptively dark thriller that's also loaded with laughs, Hit Man is an outstanding showcase for leading man Glen Powell -- and one of the most purely entertaining films of Richard Linklater's career.

Tara Brady

Irish Times

Based on a profile of Johnson in Texas Monthly magazine, by Skip Hollandsworth, this old-fashioned sexy caper makes merry with unreliable narration, slapstick and the stress of remembering which lie you told.

Rated: 3.5/5

Filmspotting

...three different movies but never feels disconnected or disjointed. It transforms into character as effortlessly and entertainingly as Powell does.

Rated: 4/5

Adam Nayman

The Ringer

Linklater's curiosity is endearing—and enduring—but what makes him a major director is that he's less interested in easy answers than hard truths.

Tim Miller

Cape Cod Wave Magazine

The film’s at its best in the funny early sequences, as Gary successfully takes on the tough, assured hit-man persona and fools a variety of customers into revealing their deadly intentions during restaurant meetings.

Rated: 3/4

... a breezy tale of a quiet, nerdy, emotionally reserved man who is suddenly thrust into the role of undercover agent and thrives as he spins aggressive, outgoing, fearless alter egos.

This movie was an absolute delight. I’m not a rom com person but those elements of this movie were amazing. Some of the best on screen chemistry I’ve seen in a while. Highly recommend this in the theater if you get the chance!
