By Netflix has premiered the full-length trailer for Richard Linklater’s thriller-comedy “Hit Man” starring Glen Powell.
Based on a true-crime article, the story follows a mild-mannered psychology professor (Powell) who also posed as an undercover hitman for the New Orleans police.
When he breaks protocol to help a desperate woman (Adria Arjona) trying to flee an abusive boyfriend, the character finds himself becoming one of his false personas – falling for the woman and flirting with turning into a criminal himself.
Austin Amelio, Retta, Sanjay Rao, Molly Bernard and Evan Holtzman co-star. The film scored rave reaction out of the Fall festivals where it screened, and currently sits at an astonishing 96% (8.3/10) from 71 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.
Mike Blizzard, Linklater, Powell, Jason Bateman and Michael Costigan produce. Linklater adapted the screenplay with Powell from the Skip Hollandsworth-penned article.
Netflix will give the film a limited theatrical release on June 7th, the same date it premieres on the service.
