Hit Man

Based on a profile of Johnson in Texas Monthly magazine, by Skip Hollandsworth, this old-fashioned sexy caper makes merry with unreliable narration, slapstick and the stress of remembering which lie you told.

...three different movies but never feels disconnected or disjointed. It transforms into character as effortlessly and entertainingly as Powell does.

Linklater's curiosity is endearing—and enduring—but what makes him a major director is that he's less interested in easy answers than hard truths.

The talk in Hit Man, which conveys the twisted fury of desire, makes this film a far more satisfying and substantial love story...

Had I not known it was based on an actual person, I would've thought "This is ridiculous, none of this happened, you're just making stuff up"... Yet it's loosely based on a true -- yet pointless -- story.

It's a sexy, twisty thriller and it's got some neat ideas about identity.

Hit Man is a smile and a wink. It’s charming and knows it&#59; it’s fun and knows it&#59; it’s flimsy and celebrates it. Splendidly cast, well-directed, and pleasant to watch, it may feel like a live-action cartoon, but what’s more Americana than that?

Hit Man finds a perfect tone all its own, keeping its own ridiculousness in check, but still taking things as far as possible.

No wonder 'Hit Man' is such a hit.

“Hit Man” is connected in its way to the American madness of star-worship, sexual obsession, and above all our narcissistic drive to live our “best life” at the potential expense of everything else.
