Netflix's new comedy/action/romance movie Hit Man has been a smash hit, garnering rave reviews thanks to its unique genre-blending dynamic. Many critics have deemed this movie to be a career-defining moment for both director Richard Linklater and star Glen Powell, who plays a hired killer who unexpectedly begins to fall in love with one of his clients.
More of a coming-of-age comedy than an action/comedy, Everybody Wants Some!! is a riot, with Linklater's signature directing and writing style making itself very apparent. It features a group of college freshmen on a baseball team who decide to start looking for potential romantic partners. This is a common theme in teen comedies, and it always results in hijinks and hilarity, with multiple attempts to come off smoothly failing spectacularly.
Many consider Pulp FictionQuentin Tarantino's finest screenplay and directorial effort, with Jackson and Travolta sharing an electrifying dynamic on-screen like no other. It's also so funny because it wasn't initially intended to be a comedy, and it shows. It just happens to be one with the hilarious way it tackles horrifying things, including murder. Pulp Fiction is a great fit for fans of Hit Man, assuming they haven't seen it already.
This is a comedy like no other, featuring a lot of jokes that can be confusing at first but are still pretty funny. Many critics have stated that with its distinctive and complex style, this is not a movie for casual watching. Chungking Express needs to be fully absorbed to be completely appreciated, but that's okay because it's well worth it. Of course, the romance/comedy/crime plotline also makes it perfect for Hit Man fans.
