Hit Man (2023 Richard Linklater & co-scr)

Based on a true story in which a philosophy college professor becomes a pretend hit man for the police to trap potential murderers. Falls for woman who you suspect from the off is making something up. So it's a kind of comedy film noir, if such a thing is allowed. With Glen Powell (Hidden Figures) and Adria Arjona (True Detective #2, some way down the cast list). With Austin Amelia as the disgruntled cop, plus Retta and Sanjay Rao.

Amelio, Powell and editor Sandra Adair were all in Linklater's college comedy Everybody Wants Some!! (2016). Photographed by Shane Kelly. Glen Powell was the co-writer.
