Hit Man, a thriller released on Netflix recently with Powell at the center, is trending across the globe with people mostly having only good things to say about it.

Directed by the man behind the iconic Before series, Richard Linklater, the film focuses on a professor moonlighting as a hitman of sorts for the police department of his city. Life takes a drastic turn when he falls for a woman who enlists his service. The movie is a well-explored saga that lands at a very interesting plateau. However, the climax is rather intriguing, where after a massive showdown, we see Glen Powell’s hitman giving a lecture on optimism to his students. Read on as we decode it.
Garry Johnson, aka hit man, helps Madison kill a police officer, enabling their life to live as a couple with their children. This is the life he always wanted rather than hiding behind many identities. So when he starts with a lecture and ends with one, he is advising students for their final test.

The advice comes from his personal experiences and his mistakes that led to some very fatal inconveniences.

When he finds it, he achieves what he wanted and now wants to live his life to the fullest He also advises the kids to do so. Glen Powell, in an interview with Today, also shed light on the same.
Glen Powell on Hit Man Climax
Talking about the climax lecture of Hit Man, he said, "If you feel like you’re stuck in life, if you feel like you’re stuck in an identity that’s not making you happy, just make the choice to change. And I think that’s what you see: two people that make each other very happy in new roles and these new faces and identities."
