Acclaimed Five Time Oscar-nominated director Richard Linklater (Dazed and Confused, Boyhood, Before Sunrise) has returned with his latest opus which received a TON of strong buzz on the festival circuit last year....and was then purchased by Netflix and held for a mostly streaming release this year. :/ It's the SEMI-true story of a fake cop named Gary Johnson (Glenn Powell) who worked with the local police to help draw in and apprehend citizens planning on committing murder....by pretending to be a "hit man."   Through taking on various disguises and personas, Gary becomes really good at his job until.....one day a potential client comes calling whom he falls in love with. She's Madison (Adria Arjona) and after they meet over the potential murder of her husband.....instead of committing murder, they begin a torrid affair.  And of course, further complications ensue....does this live up to the hype of potentially being one of the best films of 2024?  Let's find out.....
