Glen Powell plays an fake hit man working undercover for the cops in “Hit Man.' Based on a somewhat true story, Powell co-wrote the action-comedy-romance with director Richard Linklater. Things get murky for him when he starts a romance with Adria Arjona, who he meets in character as a hit man.

Things do pick up with the introduction of The Girl, Madison , an unhappy wife looking to get rid of her cruel husband. Gary meets her as “Ron,” who acts and dresses like the leading man of an action movie, or a cocky off-duty movie star, with well-fitting jeans and tight henleys and cool-guy jackets showing off his inexplicably ripped physique.

But the honeymoon only lasts so long and things soon get tricky as Ron starts to become Gary’s dominant character. This all builds to a fairly exciting third act with the introduction of an actual murder and the possibility of being exposed by an increasingly suspicious and crooked cop . And you can’t help shake the feeling that it needed something else: a bigger twist, a stickier conflict, some heightened stakes.
