Can you become the thing you pretend to be? Definitely. But be careful about what that is. My favorite Richard Linklater film in years, Hit Man is a full entertainment - a comedic take-off from a real story about a college philosophy professor who posed as a hitman on the weekends in police sting operations who eventually falls for one his clients/suspects, at which point you fear he's veering into Film Noir territory. It's very funny, but it's really sexy too, with powerful chemistry between the leads. Glen Powell gets to show a lot of range in the various hitman guises (many inspired by movie killers, I wish I had a decoder ring), creating a real audition tape for himself. Not that he needs it post Top Gun; he seems to be in everything these days. Adria Arjona also shows she should be having a better career than she's had to date (like, she was in Morbius, yo). And despite the suspense, the hot romance, and the laughs, it's still recognizably a Linklater films where characters are driven by key conversations, and the whole thing is foregrounded by philosophical discussions in the classroom. 1 day 1 hour ago
