Richard Linklater on Hit Man | NYFF61

We welcomed back director Richard Linklater for the U.S. premiere of Hit Man, a Spotlight selection in this year’s festival, for a post-screening Q&A with NYFF Artistic Director Dennis Lim.
Richard Linklater’s peppy sunlit neo-noir is a continually surprising delight. Glen Powell, in a wily and charismatic star turn, plays strait-laced philosophy professor Gary Johnson, who moonlights as an undercover hitman for the New Orleans Police Department, inhabiting different guises and personalities to catch hapless criminals hoping to bump off their enemies. It’s based on an improbable true story, with a few wild embellishments.
