Netflix viewers are buzzing about a new film that has captivated audiences with over 10 million views in just two days.
Released only a week ago, this movie has quickly become a sensation, with everyone talking about it. If you’re tired of the Bridgerton hype and looking for something new to dive into, join the 10.8 million people who have already watched this gripping crime film.
“Hit Man,” which debuted on Netflix on June 7, has received rave reviews, boasting a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and topping the charts in the UK. The crime comedy is based on the true story of Gary Johnson, a teacher who moonlights as a tech expert for his local police department. His life takes an unexpected turn when he starts posing as a fake hitman.
Gary Johnson’s story is compelling: he was hired to ‘kill’ over 70 people, but beyond his hitman persona, he was also a Vietnam War veteran, an animal-loving Buddhist, thrice-divorced, and living a solitary life with his two cats when not donning disguises for his undercover work.
The film has sparked enthusiasm among fans. One viewer shared on Twitter/X, “I’m not a big fan of theatrical releases hitting Netflix after only 3 weeks, but Hit Man was an incredible movie.” Another fan mentioned reactivating their Netflix subscription just to watch the film: “My Netflix subscription ended a week ago and I already have it back because I NEED to watch Hit Man.”
