Hit Man

2024 Ranked Linklater movies are so endlessly rewatchable. aside from the fact that this is just pure fun, it's a pretty philosophical movie that I perhaps didn't realise on first watch. and that's probably because it's so natural in the way it presents its messages that it goes unnoticed amidst the sea of pretentious movies shoving pretentious ideologies down our throats. Linklater has a way with his dialogue in his movies that makes everything feel so natural, and really "lowkey poignant". this is literally Fight Club but better. the screenplay is so good, along with Glen Powell's acting in some scenes that really show his gradual transformation to Ron, which all amazingly concludes in that climax with "Commitment." That last murder by the way is an all time cinematic kill lol; bagging him and making out next to the body. the idea of him balancing his Id and Superego as he slowly finds his Ego as a nice middle-man was great to watch, and honestly great to learn with all the college stuff. honestly sometimes felt like a documentary about human personality, with a nice little hitman story to go along with it. I could honestly yap about this movie even longer, but in short, their chemistry is amazing, the direction is slick, and the messages are great love Linklater, love Glen Powell, love this movie
