New Netflix Crime Comedy Gets Near-Perfect Rotten Tomatoes Score

Based on author Skip Hollandsworth’s 2001 Texas Monthly magazine article, Hit Man is the perfect flick to land on Netflix as it’s a romance, drama, action, and comedy feature all rolled into one. The film follows Gary Johnson (Powell), who works part-time with the New Orleans Police Department but soon finds himself in more of a high-stakes role after he’s given the task of pretending to be a hitman and arresting the folks who hire him.

A master of disguise, Gary takes pride in his work, fully giving himself over to the various roles he finds himself playing through costumes, accents, and mannerisms.
