A mild-mannered professor moonlighting as a fake hit man in police stings ignites a chain reaction of trouble when he falls for a potential client.

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.

Cheesy and easy-peasy, Hit Man skates on its handsome stars Glenn Powell and Adria Arjona’s charisma and Richard Linklater’s reliable guile.
