Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Gary Johnson is a college professor who works as tech support with the New Orleans Police Department on the side in Hit Man. While helping out on a sting operation, the usual undercover officer is unavailable and Gary is thrown in the deep end when he must fill in for him pretending to be a hitman.

Glen Powell Was Richard Linklater's "Creative Partner On This All The Way" Hit Man winds through genre as the story progresses, touching on action, crime, noir, and romance. However, a constant throughline is the comedy tone, with Powell, Adria Arjona, Retta, and Sanjay Rao being key actors to the humor in the movie.

Richard Linklater: was my creative partner on this all the way, but so was everybody else who worked on it for sure. But Glen's a unique cat that way. He's really smart, good collaborator, and someone you want to work with. So when you're in that fake world, you can really push the boundaries of that. We're making a comedy, but the real Gary Johnson did that to some degree, but not as much as we did in the movie. Glen kind of went off the deep end there, but it was a fun thing to watch.
