A Fake Hitman With a Heart of Gold

Glen Powell stars in Hit Man, a new romantic black comedy from Richard Linklater. Powell plays a professor moonlighting as a hit man of sorts for hire. The film follows his character as he navigates the dangerous world of hit men while trying to maintain his normal life.

Based on a True Story

Powell's character in Hit Man is based on the real-life story of Gary Johnson, who began working as a fake hitman in 1989. Johnson would pretend to kill people for hire, but in reality, he would just take their money and let them go. Johnson's story has been adapted into a number of films and TV shows, including the 1996 film "The Hitman."

A Unique Romantic Comedy

Hit Man is a unique blend of romantic comedy and action. The film features plenty of laughs, but it also has a serious side. Powell's character is a complex and flawed individual, and the film explores the dark side of the human condition.
