Boyhood's 12-year filming experiment transforms a quiet family story into something that feels less like watching a movie and more like watching life itself unfold.

Hit Man is a breezy, confident crowd-pleaser built on Glen Powell's magnetic lead performance and Richard Linklater's gift for making complex ideas feel effortless. The premise, a professor who moonlights as a fake hitman for police stings, gives Powell room to play a dozen characters within one role, and the romantic chemistry with Adria Arjona elevates what could have been a simple comedy into something with real heat. The third act stumbles when the stakes get serious, and the tonal shift doesn't quite land. But as a showcase for a star on the rise and a veteran director having fun, it delivers exactly the kind of smart, entertaining film that doesn't get made often enough.
