Does Glen Powell's Gary Johnson get his happy ending in Hit Man?
After stealing hearts alongside Sydney Sweeney in the sleeper hit romantic comedy Anyone But You, Glen Powell 's newest film is finally available on Netflix. Powell and director Richard Linklater received a lot of buzz back in 2023 for their newest collaboration, Hit Man , which Netflix spent a lot of money on and has been holding for a summer release.
Hit Man is based on an article about a real man who worked part-time for the police, posing as a killer for hire in order to catch folks who were looking to pay for murder. In the film, things spiral out of control for Gary when he meets a woman named Maddy , who wants to have her abusive husband killed. Posing as a suave and sexy hit man named Ron, Gary convinces her not to go through with it, to save her from going to jail.
This all results in the eventual murder of Maddy's husband, leaving her and Ron as the main suspects. After pretending to be Ron for so long, however, Gary ends up blending in with his fictional alter ego and works with Maddy to solve all their problems. An abrasive police officer named Jasper is onto Gary and his relationship with Maddy. Things get worse when Gary learns that Maddy actually did kill her husband. After learning Ron is actually Gary, though, Maddy breaks up with him, but he returns to save her from being arrested and the two end up plotting their next move.
Gary ultimately finds a way to change himself, taking some lessons learned from Ron and applying them to his own personality. The final scene shows a version of Gary that he's always wanted to become, married to Maddy with a couple of kids, working a normal, steady job. Neither one of them remained killers after the Jasper incident, but they don't seem to have any regrets about it either.
