In ‘Hit Man,’ Powell’s character is tasked with going undercover to help the police catch criminals. But as he delves deeper into his new role, he finds himself getting lost in his various disguises, from wigs to fake tattoos. It’s a moderately amusing premise, but one that requires a healthy dose of suspension of disbelief.

Despite some questionable plot points, ‘Hit Man’ is an enjoyable ride, thanks in large part to Powell’s electric chemistry with co-star Adria Arjona. As Madison, the unhappy wife looking to escape her cruel husband, Arjona brings a sense of vulnerability and determination to her role. Her romance with Powell’s character is steamy and captivating, reminiscent of George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez in ‘Out of Sight.’
