Hit Man (2023)
A charming well written and good paced story. The concept is great and while you know sort of how things inevitably will go wrong, it is still an enjoyable ride. That Gary teaches philosophy isn’t just show dressing, but makes for a perfect meta layer for the audience to think about what we see play out. The main characters are very likable and we want them to succeed, though they do some really questionable things that forced me to reconsider the entire movie. Maybe some will see this as just light entertainment, but I think it ends on a really sinister dark tone.
