Netflix's latest comedy, Hit Man, is making waves with its impressive 98% score on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 175 critics' reviews. This is a remarkable feat for any film, especially a comedy. The film's success can be attributed to the magic touch of its director, Richard Linklater, known for his work on classics such as School of Rock, Boyhood, Before Sunrise/Sunset and Dazed and Confused.
Hit Man will be the most-watched film in the US once it overtakes Netflix, with audience ratings also reflecting its popularity, currently sitting at 95%. The film stars Glen Powell, who is currently one of Hollywood's hottest talents after his roles in Top Gun: Maverick and the smash romantic comedy Anyone But You. Powell plays a teacher who poses as a police department hitman, but things take a dangerous turn when a woman, played by Adria Arjona, enters his life and asks for his “services.”
Arjona, who is perhaps an underutilized part of Andor, is also set to direct the upcoming Criminal series for Amazon. The film's success is a rarity in today's comedy landscape, but Linklater's involvement seems to have been the key to its success. There's no doubt that Hit Man will soon become the #1 movie on Netflix after its debut, and it's likely to stay there for a while.
While it's unclear if the film is slated for a sequel, Linklater isn't known for making sequels, and it would be hard to imagine one without his involvement. Despite the overwhelmingly positive reviews, there are some critics who did not enjoy the film, but most viewers are likely to form their own positive opinions after seeing it.
