Hit Man is a 2023 American romantic comedy directed and produced by Richard Linklater, with a screenplay co-written by Linklater and Glen Powell. The film stars Powell, Adria Arjona, Austin Amelio, Retta, and Sanjay Rao. It follows the story of an undercover contractor working for the New Orleans police, who poses as a trustworthy hitman while attempting to help a woman in distress. The plot is inspired by the real-life account of a college professor who, in the late 1980s and 1990s, worked undercover for the Houston police as a fake hitman, a story originally covered in a 2001 magazine article by Skip Hollandsworth.
Hit Man had its world premiere at the 80th Venice International Film Festival on September 5, 2023. It was released in select U.S. theaters on May 24, 2024, followed by a Netflix streaming release on June 7, where it received widespread critical praise.
