Hit Man (2024) - MOVIE REVIEW

Hey everybody, welcome back to MOVIE Morning! One of my most anticipated films of the year, Richard Linklater's Hit Man, has now hit theaters locally. It has been playing on Netflix in most markets for over a week now but that wasn't the case in my corner of the world where we're getting a full theatrical release. As a HUGE Linklater and Glen Powell fan, the early buzz surrounding this movie back during awards season got me really pumped to check this one out. I've finally seen it so here are my thoughts on whether or not this is one of Linklater's best!
