Glen Powell as Gary Johnson, sitting in a diner and smiling while wearing sunglasses in Hit Man
The Big Picture In just four days, Glen Powell will be everyone's Hit Man in Richard Linklater's much-anticipated new neo-noir romantic comedy. Before it sneaks into theaters for a limited release, however, Netflix is asking the all-important question of "Who is your Hit Man?" with a new set of character posters.
Hit Man takes inspiration from an article in Texas Monthly penned by Skip Hollandsworth, whose work also happened to inspire Linklater's Jack Black-led biographical black comedy, Bernie. The Dazed and Confused director's new film takes plenty of liberties with the real Johnson's story to maximize the comedy though, with Powell helping him co-write the screenplay in what marks their fourth collaboration. Where the feature especially leans into absurdity is with its many disguises.
'Hit Man' Is Shaping Up to Be Another Hit for Powell Close Following its North American debut at TIFF, Hit Man has been earning no shortage of rave reviews. Rotten Tomatoes currently has the screwball comedy at a Certified Fresh 96% score with some critics hailing it as one of Linklater's best films yet.
