Richard Linklater (Boyhood) returns with this supremely enjoyable screwball comedy noir, based on a "somewhat true story" and starring Glen Powell.

"★★★★ – Richard Linklater thrills with a go-for-broke crime caper" – The Times

★★★★ – BBC

★★★★ – Guardian

Richard Linklater’s (Boyhood, Everybody Wants Some!!) supremely enjoyable noir screwball comedy is based on the "somewhat true story" of university lecturer Gary Johnson.

Enlisted by the police to pose as a fake hit man to entrap those who seek his services, mild-mannered Gary (Glen Powell, Top Gun: Maverick, Everybody Wants Some) turns out to be a natural – until a beautiful new prospective client appears.

Might Gary prefer the excitement of an assassin’s life after all?
