Two solid enough hours worth it for Reggie’s big scene. And the Reba cover.
Bay channels the Coen Brothers and oh, does it work.
HIT MAN (Richard Linklater, 2024)
(**** / *****): Always love a good Linklater genre exercise – SCHOOL OF ROCK, especially, holds a special place in my heart – and HIT MAN is no exception: Howard Hawks energy channelled through the combustable sexy-star power of Powell and Arjona. Only gripe being that the ending, while not unearned, did feel a bit too breezy and/or pat – but then again, I suppose does fit within that Hawksian mold. Great little weekend film.
