Review
Hit Man
This movie has a decent story, but it didn’t really know what it was. It tired to be a romcom crime thriller but ended up a bit muddled. It leaned too heavily into individual tropes at different points and didn’t properly blend them together. As a result, the movie feels a bit long and disjointed. I liked it, but it could have been better.
