Netflix is all set to release a hilarious noir-comedy from Richard Linklater featuring Glen Powell and Adria Arjona in the leading role in the movie ‘Hit Man.
Inspired by an unbelievable true story, here is everything you need to know about the upcoming movie:
What’s Hit Man about?
Inspired by an unbelievable true story, a straight-laced professor discovers he has a hidden talent as a fake hitman. He meets his match in a client who steals his heart and ignites a powder keg of deception, delight, and mixed-up identities.
Is Hit Man based on a true story?
Yes, it is loosely based on a true story. Powell’s character, the now-deceased Gary Johnson, was a real guy who worked as a fake contract killer for the police, but Linklater’s movie makes sure to clarify that its bigger plot twists are completely fictional.
Cast
Powell plays mild-mannered college professor Gary Johnson — and his devil-may-care hitman alter ego Ron. Arjona plays Madison, who tries to hire Ron and then becomes romantically entangled with him.
Apart from these two, the movie stars Austin Amelio, Retta, Sanjay Rao, Molly Bernard, and Evan Holtzman.
Hit Man: Release date
Hit Man will be released on Netflix in select countries on Friday, June 7, 2024, with a limited theatrical release prior.
