HIT MAN
A killer comedy from Oscar-nominated director Richard Linklater ("Dazed and
Confused"), co-written with star Glen
Powell. Gary Johnson (Powell), a mild-mannered part-time teacher, moonlights
as a fake contract killer for the police. His life takes a turn when he breaks
protocol to help Madison, a desperate woman trying to escape her abusive
husband. As Gary becomes involved with Madison, he starts adopting one of his
fake personas more seriously, leading to a romantic entanglement and a moral
quandary about turning into an actual criminal. (USA, 2023, 115 mins, R, English | Dir. Richard Linklater)
