"Richard Linklater’s latest is a jaunty action comedy that spins its machine-tooled high concept like a bicycle wheel – sometimes with shrewd intent, sometimes for pure fun." The Guardian
He's not a killer. But he can pretend.
From Academy Award®-nominated writer/director Richard Linklater, co-written by and starring Glen Powell alongside Adria Arjona, comes Hit Man.
Inspired by an unbelievable true story, a strait-laced professor (Powell) uncovers his hidden talent as a fake hit man in undercover police stings.
He meets his match in a client (Arjona) who steals his heart and ignites a powder keg of deception, delight, and mixed-up identities.
