Hit Man

What to Know

Critics Consensus

A deceptively dark thriller that's also loaded with laughs, Hit Man is an outstanding showcase for leading man Glen Powell -- and one of the most purely entertaining films of Richard Linklater's career.

Hit Man (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Mark Olsen Los Angeles Times “Hit Man” makes for an undeniable good time. Sometimes all you really need is a couple of impossibly attractive people enjoying each other’s company, captured by a filmmaker who knows when to stay out of their way. Jun 8, 2024 Full Review Hit Man (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Dana Stevens Slate For all its gritty genre elements, Hit Man is at heart a cozy hangout movie, a minor but thoroughly enjoyable entry in the Linklater canon. Jun 8, 2024 Full Review Hit Man (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) John Wilmes Chicago Reader Hit Man is a fun romp set on making Glen Powell a star. Jun 7, 2024 Full Review Hit Man (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Nadine Whitney The Curb It’s refreshing to have a film which is so breezily entertaining, thrilling, brainy, and romantic. Hit Man is cheeky, hot, and a hell of a ride. Rated: A Jun 10, 2024 Full Review Hit Man (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Jenn Adams Strong Female Antagonist Powell is able to hold our attention through what is essentially a romantic comedy tinged with darkness. While essentially anonymous and potentially forgettable, Hit Man ultimately succeeds by basking in the glow of its handsome star. Rated: B Jun 10, 2024 Full Review Hit Man (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Roger Moore Movie Nation Glib..cloying. Watchable? Sure. Well, close enough. But maybe dial down the "next Brad Pitt" thing. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 9, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Glen Powell is now a Star Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/05/24 Full Review Patrick This movie was an absolute delight. I’m not a rom com person but those elements of this movie were amazing. Some of the best on screen chemistry I’ve seen in a while. Highly recommend this in the theater if you get the chance!
