FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/hit-man-venice-film-festival-review-one-of-the-years-greatest-comedies/ "Hit Man leaves everyone floored with one of the best comedies of the year in a magical case of cinema in which direction, screenplay, and cast combine so well with each other that, in the end, it's impossible not to applaud. Richard Linklater and Glen Powell deliver an insanely hilarious, genuinely entertaining script elevated by the filmmaker's fla… Read more
wless technical execution and career-best performances from Powell and Adria Arjona. A light, non-stop narrative filled with memorable, thought-provoking, sharp dialogue, exploring notions of identity and personality through the question: "can we really change who we are?" One of the most sensationally enjoyable theater experiences in recent years." Rating: A-

At this rate, Glen Powell is going to be able to pay Tom Cruise back for his flying lessons pretty swiftly! Here, he's a rather geeky teacher (Gary) who teaches philosophy at a college whilst occasionally helping out the cops with some criminal profiling. When one of their investigators "Jasper" (Austin Amelio) goes a bit too far and gets suspended, Gary gets drafted in last minute and proves quite effective at getting folks who want to bump of their nearest and dearest for $… Read more
5,000 to admit their cunning plans to a well wired-up con. The more of these cases he does, the better he gets; the more fun he has dressing up and adept he becomes at assuming a range of identities. It's "Maddy" (Adria Arjona) who sets the cat amongst the pigeons when she asks him to get shot of her thuggish husband "Ray" (Evan Holtzman). He takes a shine to her and talks her out of her criminal ploy. Quickly the two are seeing each other - which is manna from heaven for the deposed "Jasper". When her husband is found dead, he thinks he knows exactly who did what and how best to exact his revenge... It's quite an entertaining romantic thriller this, providing Powell with an opportunity to charm his way through an almost two hours of cinema that is light and fluffy, completely preposterous yet based on a true character. Arjona looks like she is having a good time here, too - and the last twenty minutes are quite fun. No, it won't trouble a BAFTA jury I suspect - but it's quite enjoyable summertime fayre.

<em>'Hit Man'</em> is fun! Glen Powell and Adria Arjona team up to form a strong acting chemistry, I enjoyed seeing them both feature all the way through - two great performances. On the note of the cast, good to see Austin Amelio appear; I like that guy from his <em>'The Walking Dead'</em> days. This movie is paced very well, the two hour run time did not feel of that length at all. It holds an interesting and fairly amusing plot, one brought to life by everyone involv… Read more
ed on and off screen very nicely. It's goofy in certain ways, though that is only a positive to be honest. I also thought it was going to end slightly differently, but again that's not a negative.

**Passable** I watched this movie with low expectations, and I wasn't disappointed. This movie falls into the mid-level cheesy category, offering a fair amount of entertainment without being extraordinary. The actors are good at what they do, and the direction is also good. However, you can only do so much with a mediocre plot. Overall, watchable one time.
