Hit Man

Hit Man (Netflix) is a 2023 romantic black comedy starring Glen Powell as a professor of psychology and philosophy at the University of New Orleans who also works undercover with the New Orleans Police Department assisting in undercover sting operations. When a fellow cop who portrays fake hitmen to solicit murder-for-hire confessions and payments from “customers,” is suspended, Gary is unwillingly ushered into the role. I tend to like black comedies but gave up on this one fairly early on. I must be missing something, since almost all the critic reviews are positive. If any of you have watched it, please clue me in.

    1. We almost cancel Netflix every month or so. Then we find more we want to watch.

  3. I haven't seen it, but it might be a good Sunday night movie. You know, before bed when you don't want anything too difficult to watch or too scary....Happy Saturday Nita.

  4. It's in my watchlist but haven't gotten to it. Looked questionable to me--lol! One of those movies that could go either way.

  6. It was rather repetitive in the beginning it did get a little better as it went on but was just ok overall.
