Plot and official trailer of Hit Man
Gary Johnson is New Orleans’ most sought-after professional killer. For his clients, it is as if he had stepped out of a film: the mysterious hitman to be hired. But if you hire him to get rid of an unfaithful husband or a violent boss, it’s best to be on your guard, because he works for the police. When he breaks protocol to help a desperate woman trying to escape from an abusive boyfriend, he finds himself assuming one of her false identities: he falls in love with the woman. He entertains the idea of becoming a criminal himself.
Inspired by the true story told in the 2001 Texas Monthly article of the same name by journalist Skip Hollandsworth, Hit Man also stars Adria Arjona, Retta, Austin Amelio, Molly Bernard, Ritchie Montgomery, Gralen Bryant Banks, Mike Markoff, Kate Adair, Jordan Salloum and Richard Robichaux.
