What is Hit Man about?
Hit Man is an upcoming Netflix film directed by Richard Linklater. It’s about straight-laced professor Gary Johnson, who moonlights as a fake hit man for the New Orleans Police Department. Preternaturally gifted at inhabiting different guises and personalities to catch hapless people hoping to bump off their enemies, Gary descends into morally dubious territory when he finds himself attracted to one of those potential criminals, a beautiful young woman named Madison. As Madison falls for one of Gary’s hit man personas – the mysteriously sexy Ron – their affair sets off a chain reaction of play acting, deception, and escalating stakes.
