How accurate is Hit Man on Netflix? We reveal the true story of Gary Johnson, a fake hitman who is portrayed by Glen Powell in the movie. In real life, Gary Johnson was a professor part-time and worked full-time as an investigator for the district attorney's office. He had far more experience in law enforcement than Glen Powell's character in Netflix's Hit Man. The true story also reveals where the movie completely departs from the life of the real Gary Johnson and his work as a fake hitman.
In this fact-check, we reveal answers to questions like, is the heated romance Gary has in the movie with Adria Arjona's character, Madison Masters, based in real life? Did the real Madison Masters kill her husband? Did a cop named Jasper try to extort them? Is Hit Man's ending explained accurately in the Netflix movie? #hitmanmovie #hitmannetflix #hitman #garyjohnson #glenpowell #adriaarjona #richardlinklater

This movie is not at all based on true events. They briefly took the real story and spiced it up out of proportion.

I go into ever movie or show that says "based on a true story" knowing there will be some truths but it's mostly spectical because that's what people want when they go to the movies. It said loosely based, which told me they read an interesting story about a real person and had fun with it. While I appreciate learning the true story, it wouldn't have made as compelling of a film. I also appreciate they say he committed no murders. Overall it was a fun movie that suprised me, Glen Powell especially. Was nice to see his range

I mean I liked the movie but I don't get it, they should've just made this full fictional and not used Gary Johnson as a reference. Now, I am not his relative, but imagine the impact of this movie on their relatives. Even though the story was made up, random people will always tease the family with this kind of shit.

It's a shame that Hollywood changes so much of the truth, but it happens. I never met the real Gary, so I can't personally say whether or not he would like the movie. I liked it, except the ending came right in the middle of the movie. It went jumped the 2nd scene to the 4th and final scene.

Мне жаль настоящего Гэри Джонсона, ему бы точно не понравилось, что из него сделали хладнокровного убийцу, который спокойно целуется с девушкой, когда на полу умирает человек. И мне фильм нравился, ровно до этой заключительной сцены. Концовка всё испортила. Можно предположить, что в этом был такой смысл - если ты долго притворяешься кем-то, то становишься им? Но последние минуты вроде бы показывают милую семью, и это никак не вяжется с тем, что такие милые муж с женой - убийцы, которым всё сошло с рук.

I mean... In reality if they did use ONLY the truth, it would've been a boring ass movie. I think that's why they said it was somewhat true which it was so u can't really blame the guy

The movie is so boring. So disappointed to see something so pedestrian from an otherwise notable director. The reviews don’t reflect the boring result. Just pathetic.
