Hit Man

Finally caught up with this one and it was pretty much as fun a charming as expected. Love the premise most of all. The film feels like a throwback in it’s almost absurd conceptualization (despite the ‘based on a true story’ designation). Powell’s charisma jumps off the screen and Arjona is equally alluring every moment on screen. Linklater’s script actually kept me guessing almost up until the end. Some of the early scene’s of Gary playing different kinds of hitmen got a little repetitive, especially since they all turned out to be completely extraneous. I would have cut some, and perhaps extended some others to have them tie more into the narrative. I’m nitpicking, though. It was a great watch and fun one to watch with the wife.
