Glen Powell's new comedy "Hit Man" is a bold and entertaining ride inspired by a true story. Powell stars as Gary Johnson, a philosophy professor who moonlights as a fake hit man for the New Orleans Police Department. The story follows Gary as he creates multiple characters to catch potential killers, but gets entangled in his own confident persona, falling for a woman who wants to hire him to kill her husband. The film takes unexpected twists and turns, culminating in a surprising finale. Co-written and co-produced by Powell and director Richard Linklater, "Hit Man" is based on a Texas Monthly article about the real Gary Johnson, a former law enforcement officer who worked undercover as a hit man. While the film takes creative liberties, it stays true to the essence of Johnson's intriguing life, including his unique relationships and unexpected adventures. Ultimately, "Hit Man" pays tribute to the real Gary Johnson and his extraordinary escapades.
