Hit ManMovie · 2024
If you're into the fake-identity-sparks-real-feelings trope, but make it super spicy and a little bit illegal, this movie is for you. Glen Powell plays a philosophy professor who pretends to be a hit man, and honestly, we are absolutely not okay after watching him do his thing. The chemistry with Adria Arjona is off the charts, and the "strangers to lovers" vibe mixed with crime comedy? Chef's kiss. Get ready for laughs, tension, and a romance that's dangerously good.
Gary Johnson is a mild-mannered philosophy professor who also moonlights for the New Orleans police, posing as a professional hit man in sting operations. His life takes an unexpected turn when he meets Madison, a captivating woman seeking to hire him to get rid of her abusive husband. As Gary finds himself falling for Madison, he blurs the lines between his real identity and his dangerous alter ego. This leads to a thrilling and comedic chain reaction that complicates both their lives.
