Richard Linklater’s ‘Hit Man’ trailer teases a fake assassin falling for one of his clients

Thriller, comedy, and romance jumble together in the trailer for Hit Man, Richard Linklater’s new Netflix movie about a fake assassin getting into a relationship with one of his clients.

A man of many disguises, Gary Johnson (Glen Powell, who also co-wrote the film with Linklater) is a professor with a strange side hustle: he works for the police as a pretend assassin. But things go from complicated to even more complicated when he becomes romantically involved with a client (Adria Arjona), who may be more sinister than she seems.

How to watch: Hit Man is in select theaters from May 24, and streaming on Netflix from June 7.
