Hot on the heels of a preview at the 2023 Venice Film Festival, Hit Man by Richard Linklater – director of Sunrise and Boyhood – continues to be talked about. First of all, because it received a wave of praise from critics around the world, but also because it stars Glenn Powell, who appeared in Top Gun: Maverick, a rising star in Hollywood.
In this comedy, the American actor plays the role of a policeman who plays the role of a murderer. But when he meets a young woman who has been beaten by her abusive boyfriend, he has to forget all procedures and protocols to save her.
Available today on Netflix in the US, many were hoping for a theatrical release in France. However, Hit Man will be available at the beginning of the next academic year on CANAL+ under the CANAL+ Premières label. A release that appears to be part of a strategy to keep this film out of theaters.
After the surprise success of the romantic comedy Everything But You with Sydney Sweeney, Hitman It is an important step for Glenn Powell, who is establishing himself as one of the new faces of cinema.
Before discovering Richard Linklater’s new film, audiences will be able to discover the actor in the summer blockbuster Twisters, a sequel to the 1990s classic with Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt.
