Hit Man: The Unlikely Hero of Netflix’s Latest Hit

Glen Powell, the actor who has been shoved down our throats by Hollywood, has finally won me over with his latest film, Hit Man. I must admit, I wasn’t a fan of Powell’s previous work, finding him to be bland and smug. However, his latest role has changed my mind.

Glen Powell shines as Gary Johnson, a philosophy and psychology professor turned fake hit man.

Hit Man, directed by Richard Linklater, is a delightful film that combines romance, action, philosophy, and humor. Powell, who also co-wrote the film, plays Gary Johnson, a mild-mannered professor who leads a very ordinary life. However, when he’s asked to go undercover as a hit man, Gary discovers a new side of himself.

 Gary’s transformation from a philosophy professor to a fake hit man is both hilarious and impressive.

The film’s clever script and Linklater’s direction make Hit Man a joy to watch. Powell’s performance is undeniably great, and his character’s transformation from a nerdy professor to a confident hit man is both hilarious and impressive.

 Gary’s various personas, from Russian tough guy to fancy Eurotrash, are both entertaining and impressive.

The film also explores the concept of the self being a construct, a theme that is reminiscent of Kantian philosophy. Gary’s journey is not just about becoming a fake hit man, but also about discovering himself.

 Gary’s romance with Madison Masters, played by Adria Arjona, adds a sweet and tender touch to the film.

Hit Man is a must-watch, not just for Powell’s impressive performance, but also for its clever script, witty humor, and thought-provoking themes. It’s a film that will leave you smiling and thinking long after the credits roll.

Hit Man is now streaming on Netflix.
