This shiny new noir film directed by Academy Award-nominated director Richard Linklater stars Glenn Powell. He plays stereotyped professor Gary Johnson, a part-time fake killer for the New Orleans Police Department. Gary has an unusual talent for disguising himself as a different person to capture unlucky people who want to fight off the enemy. He falls into a moral dilemma when he is attracted to a potential criminal: the criminal is a beautiful young woman named Madison (Adria Ahona). When Madison falls in love with one of Gary's killer characters (the mysterious and sexy Ron), their affair triggers a chain reaction that includes acting, deception and escalating bets. "Hit Man", co-written by Linklater and Powell, is based on an incredibly true story and is an existential comedy that cleverly depicts identity.
