Hit Man Ratings & Reviews
- tuffpet2d agoThere was a point in the film when one of the characters did something so out of character, and in such an out of character way, that i just stopped caring. Up until then it was interesting enough if a bit slow.
- AndreiTamas5d agogood film. glen and adria are so cool but she is so bad. finally a good ending too good lord
- neuroparadox6d agoGreat take on the liar revealed formula; highly recommend! And, holy fuck, Glen Powell, where did you come from? Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?! I'd totally fuck Ron. 🤫🤷♂️ Shout out to Austin Amelio, who is excellent in this movie 🍿
- vangh1December 23, 2024I rented this for free with a rental code I was given from a combo I got while going to Twisters so it's the completion of a Glen Powell combo, and It. Was. Glorious. Im a big fan of Linklater. I'm a rapidly growing fan of GP. I'm insanely tantalized by the thesis that hitmen only exist in fiction and police exploit that myth for sting operations. This is like, pretty good and steadily enjoyable, and then becomes unreal good at the end. It takes three things to kill a man: 1) The gun 2) The bullets 3) The balls And I've got a massive stockpile of all 3! *Nut shot*
- RyezooFebruary 4, 2025Glen Powell is really growing on me! This is one of the horniest films I’ve seen in a while. Laughed a bunch and found the rabbit hole it went down to be a ton of fun. My one nitpick is the third act only happens because Gary makes a distinctive choice with so called husband. Still I too might have done some crime for that woman!
- Kevin WardJuly 1, 2025Finally 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.
- raeymaekers.gert1June 28, 2025One of the best movies i saw in the last 5 years. Fun and sneaky physophical. Great actors
- VarunOctober 19, 2024I don’t watch a lot of romcoms but this is the best I’ve ever seen. Glen Powell is absolutely brilliant in this, flexing his full range of acting skills and probably giving the best performance of his career. It reminded me of James McAvoy’s performance in Split (2016), however here there were even more roles and each one is played to perfection. The plot was really smart and unique. The movie was entertaining throughout while exploring many themes like the murky ethics of entrapment, how easily a person’s actions could be nudged in different directions, the fascination of doing field work as a psychologist and all the surprising challenges it brings to mere theory, the enticing quest for love amidst danger, the choice we sometimes have to fashion a persona in some areas of our life while in others we are completely slave to our brain patterns and emotions, how we are entrenched in viewing others through our narrow lens and our biases making us suspect to exploitation, etc. The pacing, comedy, dialogue, sensual romance and suspense were all tuned perfectly. I had so much fun with this film and I highly recommend everyone to check it out!
- NewFilmsAnonymousJune 19, 2025Funnier than "Anyone But You" and it has Adria Arjona.
- Ray HopkinJanuary 1, 2025A really fun, zippy, movie. The chemistry between the leads was so hot! I really enjoyed this, but I want to know what happened to his cats at the end?
- rg9400November 1, 2024Hit Man is not what I expected, in the best way possible. It's easy to think that it will similar to Netflix original movies, a generic action thriller starring an attractive lead male star. However, it's actually a film festival darling by Richard Linklater that got purchased by Netflix and got resigned to a straight-to-streaming release. Instead, it's this sort of screwball comedy-romance of things spiraling out of control. The quirky humor is pretty great (love the dedication at the end), and Adria Arjona and Glen Powell are charismatic, sexy, and have tons of chemistry. Their interactions carry the movie. I also loved all of the different disguises that are featured throughout the movie. In some ways, this is the movie I wanted Fall Guy to be, where the leads actually have chemistry, there is real sexual tension, and the humor lands. The ending felt a bit anticlimactic, but I enjoyed the rest to overlook it. Don't go into it expecting action and you will be rewarded.
- The Gutter MonkeyOctober 16, 2024Similar in tone to Linklater's earlier dark, crime comedy, Bernie (which was also inspired by a true story). Due to a lackluster final act, though, it winds up being a tad less memorable than that should-be-classic.
