"Hit Man" is new on Netflix.  I think it had a very small theatrical run maybe 2 weeks ago?  Very loosely based on a real person.  Glen Powell plays a teacher at Univ. of New Orleans who moonlights w/ the local PD doing audio/tech stuff on sting operations for people hiring contract killers.  In a pinch they send him in to be the fake hit man.  He loves it and runs with it.  It all gets complicated when he's smitten with a potential perp (Adria Arjona).  He talks her out of it, then ends up having a relationship with her.  As always, it gets worse and worse with layer upon layer of lies.  I found it entertaining.

Powell is everywhere now.  He's one of those overnight success stories 10 or 15 years in the making.  He's been around, but he's just suddenly blown up in his mid 30s.  I still think my favorite role for him was a motor mouthed smooth operator college baseball player in "Everybody Wants Some."  Just realized he was reunited with the same director in this one.

Arjona is adorable.
