How did 'Hit Man' receive an incredible 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes? Know more about Richard Linklater- directed film

After 'Godzilla: Minus One' and 'Under Paris', Netflix's 'Hit Man' has stormed Hollywood and set the box office on fire. It has also been critically acclaimed and received rave reviews. Directed by Richard Linklater, the movie revolves around a 'fake hit man', portrayed by Glen Powell. He is sucked into a bizarre situation when he tries to help a woman flee an abusive relationship and the fakery blurs with reality.

However, the most interesting part of the film is that it received a rating of 97% on Rotten Tomatoes. On the other hand, the audience rating settled down at 93% after reaching an incredible 100% rating.

Glen Powell, who plays the main protagonist Gary Johnson, is the driving force of the film. Many viewers were smitten by his look. In one of the reviews, the reviewer said, "Sure, there's plenty of great nuanced themes here, but I'm most distracted by Glen Powell. Oh my god, Glen Powell."

'Hit Man' debuted on Netflix as number one on its most-watched list, making it ample clear that the ending may have shocked millions of people. One has to keep it in mind that it is not exactly a staple of the romantic comedy that the audience wants. 'Hit Man' is based on a true story, although the real Gary Johnson didn’t kill anyone. Besides, Johnson never dated someone who tried to hire one of his pretend hitmen.

Talking to IndieWire, director Linklater said, "What if she got back in touch with him? Or what if they start hanging out? What if they start dating and she thinks he’s Ron." He said further, "It becomes this study of self, who are we, and that it’s funny — there’s a lot of mistaken identities, a lot of deception, and that’s just fun to watch. But there’s also a true-crime element. I like that she thinks he’s a hit man, and her husband ends up dead after all.”
