Hit Man is the new Netflix movie featuring Glen Powell that has been shining in the catalog, having only been released for one day. Not only has it become the top trend, but it is also the most-watched in the US.

The Top Gun: Maverick actor plays Gary Johnson, a university professor in Houston who leads a rather ordinary life until an unexpected twist turns him into something much bigger.

Richard Linklater (Boyhood and Before Midnight) directed the dramatic comedy, while Adria Arjona (Father of the Bride, Morbius and 6 Underground) joined the main star in the role of Madison Figueroa Masters.

Hit Man became the Top 1 movie on Netflix US

Hit Man has become the most-watched movie on Netflix in the United States in just one day, all thanks to American users who gave the story, which blends comedy, action and drama, a chance.

Flix Patrol reported a few hours ago that the new title starring Glen Powell and Adria Arjona has managed to take the top spot in the Top 10, dethroning another trend, the thriller “Under Paris”.

The movie is based on an article from Texas Monthly written by Skip Hollandsworth, which also served as inspiration for other film projects by the director Richard Linklater.

The story follows Gary Johnson, an investigator who plays the role of a hitman to catch individuals who order a murder, becoming one of the most effective and sought-after hitmen.

The narrative explores themes of identity, morality and the complexities of living a double life. It also focuses on the nature of good and evil, and how a person can balance those two facets within themselves.
