A mostly fictional take of a true story, Hit Man, was way better than I thought it would be. Glen Powell plays a professor who ends up side-gigging for the NOLA PD; ends up standing in as a fake hit-man and realizes he's GOOD at it. One thing leads to another and things go wrong and that makes the rest of this 'dark-thriller comedy' story.
This seems like a couple friends having an idea, coming up with the screenplay, one directs and produces it and the other acts in it. This is what you'd come up with your friend, nothing over the top but still entertaining enough.
While there's nothing GREAT about it, the writing and the chemistry between Glen and Adria sell the film well. This + the under 2hr runtime = a light watch on a Friday night / over the weekend. (An almost) Direct release to Netflix as well. If you're in the mood for a 'popcorn flick', look this one up.
