Minus One’ As Film Trends Big On Netflix

Netflix already has a hit—so to speak—with the Glen Powell and Adria Arjona crime comedy Hit Man.

Hit Man—which is mostly based on a true story—debuted on the streaming service Friday. The movie is based on the crazy true story of Gary Johnson, a fake hit man who would go on undercover sting operations to help the Houston Police Department bust would-be criminals seeking assassins for hire.

Powell stars as Gary in Hit Man, which is co-written by the actor and director Richard Linklater. The Texas natives’ screenplay is based on writer Skip Hollandsworth’s October 2001 Texas Monthly article Hit Man, which chronicled Gary’s remarkable life.
