Hideo Kojimais back with another movie recommendation, and this time it’sHit Manstarring Glen Powell.
“I watched Richard Linklater’s new film Hitman on the plane. It was fantastic. I have wanted to see this movie for a long time, but never released in Japan. I really wanted to see it in a movie theater, but I had no choice. The story is about a university professor who pretends to be a ‘hitman’ and helps the police with sting operations as a part-time job,“Kojima wrote on Twitter.
“It is neither too hard-boiled nor dark,” Kojima continued. “That’s Linklater’s style. It’s intelligent, dark-humored, and it’s funny. It was really really good! A masterpiece. Glen Powell was great, a bit different than the ‘macho’ roles you see him in the blockbuster movies. And, oh my goodness. Is it released in Japan today? Really? Highly recommend!”
The film has a 95% Fresh Rating onRotten Tomatoesand a 91% audience score. The cast includes Austin Amelio, Sanjay Rao, Molly Bernard, and Evan Holtzman.
