Hit Man

Director Richard Linklater’s latest movie Hit Man had its London Film Festival gala showing this week, a romantic comedy thriller starring co-writer Glen Powell (Top Gun: Maverick). It’s a film based on a true story about a mild mannered police liaison officer, Gary Johnson, who goes undercover as a ruthless hitman to catch a felon only to fall in love with the femme fatale (Adria Arjona).

With Richard Linklater’s catalogue of successes from Before Sunrise to the School of Rock and Boyhood this likely to be a festival hit for sure.
