Hit Man by Richard Linklater tells the story of Gary, a philosophy professor and undercover agent, who pretends to be a hitman. The film artfully navigates themes of identity and deception, blending various genres with a playful and engaging style.
A sensational film that uncovers the classic within the contemporary, reveals cinephilia in the imagination, and finds the ordinary in the extraordinary. A masterful screenplay, Richard Linklater and Glen Powell are in top form.
