Richard Linklater, known for his ability to create engaging narratives, seeks to explore another territory with his latest film, “Hit Man”, starring Glen Powell, Hollywood's new darling. This film is not just about murder and secret missions, but also about an unexpected romance that blossoms amid danger and intrigue.

The public is generally fascinated by stories about killers. Works such as “John Wick”, “Kill Bill” and “Na Mira do Boss” have always managed to attract lovers of the genre with their promise of relentless action and captivating plots. However, when comedy elements are skillfully interwoven, as seen in “The Hidden Agent”, the experience becomes even better for such viewers.

While the photo doesn't reveal much, it suggests a romance fraught with tension and danger, adding an extra layer of complexity to a plot already filled with twists and dark plots.

In “Hit Man,” Powell takes on the role of Gary Johnson, a college professor who inevitably finds himself embroiled in a web of intrigue and murder. His journey becomes even more complicated when he falls in love with Madison, a mysterious woman with a dark past. The film is not just another action thriller, as it delves deep into the complexities of the human psyche, exploring themes of morality, identity and redemption.
