- Actions speak louder, and more flirtatiously, than words in this key sequence from “Hit Man,” the rom-com thriller from Richard Linklater now streaming on Netflix.
During the movie’s screenings at film festivals last year, this particular scene had audiences erupting with applause for the feat that it pulls off. It’s “kind of a performance within a performance within a performance,” Linklater says in his narration.
At this point in the movie, the lead character, Gary Johnson (Glen Powell), is at a turning point. He has been working undercover with the New Orleans Police Department as a hit man named Ron. In that role, he developed a secret romantic relationship with a woman who initially tried to solicit Ron for his services. Her name is Madison (Adria Arjona) and she was going to hire Ron to kill her abrasive husband, but Ron talks her out of it.
Madison’s husband later ends up dead, and the police think that Madison is the killer. One of the officers, Jasper (Austin Amelio) has seen Gary and Madison together in public and has suspicions about what’s going on with the two. He decides to put a wire on Gary and send him to talk with Madison in the hopes of creating an entrapment scenario. But to save Madison (and himself), Gary thinks fast and comes up with a way to warn Madison that they are under surveillance.
He types out information to her through his Notes app on his phone and directs her through what to say, and not say, in their conversation, in an exchange that is both sexy and flirty, while also being a tense high-wire act.
“It’s fun to see your hero, the guy you’re invested in, kind of figure his way out of a really sticky, tight situation that I don’t think any of us would be quick enough to find a way out of,” Linklater says.
“It’s a dance, and it’s just fun to see them figure it out as they go.”

This scene was honestly THE highlight
This young actress is a phenomenal talent, she really shined the whole movie for me
My favorite big booty latina!
She’s is the daughter of a Guatemalan singer that is popular in Latin America and daughter of a Puerto Rican model…and raised mostly in Mexico City until age 12 and then Miami after that. Very interesting life.
Best scene of the film.
Brilliant acting!
I personally wish they did more with the other hitman disguises Gary used. The movie poster made it seem like they played a bigger role in the film.
I appreciate this but I really wish they hadn't covered up the wink at the end with that graphic. That was the best part!
This scene was excellent.
Loved this film!❤
Spoiler! SO glad I saw the movie without knowing about this key scene.
Actually it is a Fun Movie. Thanks
Looks great! Hope to see it.
first thing firs .. great scene .. but dude .. Spoiler alert .. I have seen the movie but for people who may watch it .. this is spoiler
Have a great weekend
Movies deserve Oscars for best story
Did you guys just censored the word damm
They do this for any movie now huh? Let’s break down the next Kevin heart movie too 😂 On a serious note I do not see any technical prowess, impressive directing, or anything I couldn’t find on any cbs show.
Finally, WNVR has spoken! I was waiting for this enlightened, sweeping judgment based on a ~5 minute clip that's mostly commentary.
I watched the movie, and let’s be real have you not seen this exact scenario 1000 times done far better? Most of the time they are breaking down some impressive film making and sorry you don’t see this as a quick breakdown done for Netflix 😂
@@codygusto9654also he makes it clear he sees this as a deep, nuanced, highlight of the film.
This ain’t wolf of wall street 😂😂
I thought this was pretty ok but there's something about this film that's just kind lowkey boring.
Let's not and say we did
I cannot live with a murderer Wife

Save Bangladesh students
diz VO guy ruined d moment by explainin frr
I was surprised how bad this movie was. The concept intrigued me but it was so dull and simplistic.
Me too! After so much hyping I was looking forward to it. Besides his acting the different characters which I enjoyed I really thought the rest was just not very good.
No lgbt in whole movie so refreshing
That one guy wants to bang Ron
😂😂
LOL I agree, for once a good script as well
Worst ending
We (Bangladeshi) students are currently peacefully protesting against quota,but Student League an organization of the government ambushed us.Nearly two hundred people were injured and many were killed in the attack. At this time we need you very much because the journalists of our country are on the side of the government.They have no news on this issue.They have not promoting about on this issue.Seeking freedom has now become a crime for us.
