Hit Man 2024 Review: Discover the Real Tale of Glen Powell

Powell's charisma shines intermittently in Hit Man, even though the plot revolves around a character who, as part of his law enforcement job, must constantly act and adopt various eccentric personas to convince potential clients that he is a real hitman. The movie moves from Houston to New Orleans, introducing Powell's character Gary, a professor of psychology and philosophy who dresses plainly in khakis and unflattering bangs, lecturing his students on the concept of identity. These classroom scenes are shown intermittently, emphasizing a point that is already quite clear about the fluidity of one's self. 


Hit Man is Gary Johnson, a completely average professor of psychology and philosophy at a university. He blends into the crowd so well that you wouldn't even notice him if you passed him on the street. However, Gary has a secret side gig. In his spare time, he assists the New Orleans Police by working with them to apprehend potential criminals. Recently, he was promoted from being the person who operates the surveillance van to becoming a contract killer himself. Essentially, his new job entails meeting regular individuals who are seeking to hire a hitman, recording their requests, and then helping the police arrest them.


Gary encounters Madison, a client seeking his help to escape her abusive spouse. He introduces himself as Roy, a charming and confident man who captivates everyone around him. Despite his colleagues being drawn to him, Gary takes a risk and rescues Madison, advising her to leave her husband. However, things become complicated as Madison and Gary, or rather "Roy," develop feelings for each other. Initially managing to maintain his dual identities, Gary eventually transforms into Roy, causing further complications. With numerous factors at play, a chain of amusing events unfolds, leaving the audience entertained and amused.
