- Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Longer than it should be, with some good central performances, Hit Man made me smile though I am still put off by one element.
- Sean Axmaker @ Stream On Demand
- Excerpt: Gary Johnson (Glen Powell) is not a real Hit Man but he plays one for the New Orleans police in Richard Linklater’s funny, sexy, quietly engaging mix of romantic comedy and sexy crime drama.
- Aren Bergstrom @ 3 Brothers Film
- Excerpt: The balance between the psychological character study, the romance, and the comedy is what makes Hit Man such a refreshing, old-school charmer.
- [New] | Samuel Castro @ El Colombiano [Spanish]
- Excerpt: La mejor escena de “Cómplices del engaño” es tan graciosa, tan rápida y con tan buen ritmo, que parece de una comedia alocada de los años cuarenta.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: It’s a lot of fun watching Powell morph from a meek academic content with his own company to a range of confident yet very different faux killers and he and the lovable, doe-eyed Arjona connect on multiple levels.
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Dark rom-com features tonal shifts that swing wildly from sunny romance to deadly crime.
- Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: While it’s not the missed-salvation-of-cinema piece that so much hyperbole on the internet wants to exclaim, HIT MAN is great. Powell is a star. Arjona is a superstar.
- Dan Stalcup @ The Goods: Film Reviews
- Excerpt: It adds up to a fun exercise in blending throwback genres — part screwball, part noir, part Hitchcock double-crosser — while still feeling modern and fresh.
- Nadine Whitney @ The Curb
- Excerpt: The throwback element of Hit Man baits the hook and keeps you watching. It’s been a while since audiences have been given a Grosse Point Blank and honestly, it’s refreshing to have a film which is so breezily entertaining, thrilling, brainy, and romantic. Hit Man is cheeky, hot, and a hell of a ride.
- Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: It captivates thanks to its good character work, the excellent performances of Powell and Arjona (the chemistry between them, God!), and the interesting development of themes related to identity, personality, ego and deception.
